I am deeply in love with this worship song&#8230;and I been listening and singing the same song for many days now. It is always good to simply keep my brain focus on the same song, the same lyrics and just sing and sing my heart out. It was purely an act of admiration. Nothing else.</p>
<p>Sometime, with the same spirit of admiration&#8230;I wish I could write a song which is as simple yet so powerful&#8230;enable one to sing and sing without a second thought. One can even add in their own words of admiration/ prayer along the lyrics. Those sentence highlighted in purple are the additional add-on according to the worshiper.</p>
<p>So, if you are grateful of what you have and want to sing Him a love song, just play this music and you can sing aloud with your own prayer.</p>
<p>Do give it a try!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><blockquote><p>Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.<br />
Psalm 17:8 (NIV)</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the most desirable prayer I always pray for the past few months. I do wish things in life  can be much easier to handle and after the daily rain or storm, I can go back to my unfailing shelter &#8211; GOD&#8217;s protections never fails to comfort.</p>
<p>The month of August, I been sick often due to the pressure surrounding me, but I definitely believe after going through this season of life, I am much wiser with higher tolerance ability. I begin to trust my own heart even more by respect one sharing, without placing any unnecessary judgement unless it is required of me professionally, or personally. I am comfortable with this situ,ation to give my overwork brain a break from time to time.</p>
<p>Everyone have the rights to choose the way they want to think, to look and to live so long I do not required to be part of it.  I am grateful.</p>
<p>As I am settling down with some new plans for myself, my family and my cell (Blueprints) &#8230;I thought of giving this &#8220;blog journal&#8221; a face lift too. The purpose of this journal remains the same&#8230;to give a peek of my life and my thought.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-535" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/apple-of-your-eye/astreamofmoonlight_end/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-535" title="astreamofmoonlight_end" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/astreamofmoonlight_end.jpg?w=600&#038;h=600" alt="astreamofmoonlight_end" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#888888;">A Strem of Moonlight header from May&#8217;07 &#8211; Aug&#8217;09</span></em></p>
<p>I gave most of my previous journal a quick glance and realise how fortunate I am to learn so much in different area of my life.  The every little thought cycle I am in and emotion hurricane I go through has now became a testimony to be share with others who&#8217;s facing the same/similar problem in life. How I am grateful at time when I am taking the narrow street and God has bless me abundantly.  I started to feel more and more secure each time when I am facing challenges, especially those I don&#8217;t know my way out&#8230;and He has never fail to provided me one (although I wish the solutions came slightly earlier to save some of my lost hair).</p>
<p>I come to realise, I am the apple of His eye.  It is beyond any word can ever descibe how grateful I am. I know, there isn&#8217;t anything I can do in return. But, I believe I can live this life He given me to the best possible everyday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I am working on a new set of calendar design every year based on the upcoming fashion trend.</p>
<p>From a reliable source&#8230;the colour for 2010 is beach, marine and coral reef. To my amazement&#8230;after some research and finding, I am playing with one of the most beautiful material I ever encounter&#8230;the marine species. Although my preference of colour always been very pastel and clean, but I can&#8217;t deny how abruptly beautiful and unique they are &#8211; like never before.</p>
<p>I guess&#8230;when God is not too busy attending to us, He probably spend some of His leisure time exploring His creativity and sense of humor in the world last hidden wilderness.</p>
<blockquote><p>There&#8217;s a quote: &#8220;There are many, but only little knew it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-521" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/droplet-from-gods-palette/fierce_warm/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-521" title="Fierce Warm Marine Species" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/fierce_warm.jpg?w=450&#038;h=687" alt="Fierce Warm Color Marine Species" width="450" height="687" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-522" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/droplet-from-gods-palette/fierce_cold/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-522" title="Fierce Cold Colour Marine Species" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/fierce_cold.jpg?w=450&#038;h=619" alt="Fierce Cold Colour Marine Species" width="450" height="619" /></a></p>
<p>Lastly&#8230;if you are amazed by these droplets from God&#8217;s palette&#8230;<a title="Make a different!" href="http://www.npca.org/marine_and_coastal/marine_wildlife/make_a_difference.html" target="_blank">please read this!</a></p>
<p>The world’s oceans are teaming with vivid life sources, that can only be appreciated through the lens of the naked eye. When these species become extinct, how can we ever find such amazing wildlife, surviving among us that offer such delectable colour palettes and limitless inspiration?</p>
<p>Is all about us making a different. We have the responsibility to ensure the oceans continue to live and breathe for the future generations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This is another art piece base on my favorite tree…the birch.</p>
<p><strong>The Orgin of the name</strong><br />
The common name birch is derived from an old Germanic root, birka, with the Proto-Indo-European root, &#8220;white, bright; to shine.&#8221; The Proto-Germanic rune berkanan is named after the birch. The botanic name Betula is from the original Latin.<br />
<em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch" target="_blank">Information taken from Wikipedia</a></em></p>
<p><strong>The Physical Appearance</strong><br />
“It is when its slightly crooked stem stands alone on the slope of some river glen, brown with fallen leaves of autumn, and lit up by the varying hue of the dead fronds of bracken, with its round slender branches, of polished purple bronze, weeping in festoons eight or ten feet long, that the Birch is seen in all its beauty of outline. It is, however, when these bare boughs, or those of the smaller trees that dot the heathery wastes of Epping Forest or Bagshot Heath, begin to clothe themselves in April with their transparent foliage of fluttering brilliant leaflets, that the tree is, perhaps, at its perfection of grace and loveliness. When grouped together in numbers, a grove of young Birches in winter presents an almost smoke-like hazy effect of copper boughs and purple twigs springing round the slender silver stems; but in spring they lose all signs of somber melancholy, and seem to laugh as their leaves dance in the sunbeams which fall between them on to the dog-violets that strew the wood-side.”</p>
<p><strong>The Characteristic</strong><br />
The Birch is remarkable for its power of holding its own, and spreading, amongst heather, where other species are commonly stifled unless protected. Thus, formerly it was not a common tree in Epping Forest, but, from this power and its enormous production of seeds, which are scattered far and wide by the wind, owing to the little wing attached to them, it is now spreading rapidly, springing up spontaneously wherever the soil is dry, if a clearing has been made by fire or felling. The Birch has been noticed as being, in fact, well equipped for the battle for life.<em><a href="http://www.2020site.org/trees/birch.html" target="_blank"><br />

<h2>Title: The Synchronizing Connection</h2>
<p>I choose the Silver Birch, which standing tall and straight in numbers in the winter landscape.  The posture of the tree reminded me of people standing together with beatitude. They are interconnect because of their upright posture, and synchronizing their act with the way, the word of the One.  They are well equipped for the battle of life, a standing inspiration with overflowing grace and wisdom.</p>
<p>I break this art piece to 3 pieces frame, which works out an interesting connection through the connecting breeze line.  This is very much my choice of colour and theme to go in the dining hall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Recently, I am working on some new art piece for my new house. The greatest thing about this…I get to draw again. The disadvantage is, I do not have the time and the tools to work on the artwork.  Buying canvas, paper, colour, brushes and a space, a time with the peace of mind, hopefully with a little inspiration I collected ancient years ago (if the vision is still clear)…it simply too much for me now. I realize gone are those years I get to sit before my art board to work on the painting.</p>
<p>If that is the case, what is next?  Just buy off the shelf. The problem is (oh yeah…as usual…I like to complicate life), I can’t find anything I like, which speak to me.</p>
<p>It is always nice to look at some beautiful photos and drawing in the shop or other people house. But, what happened if none of them speak to you? It doesn’t content any message to inspire you, encourage you, rejuvenate your eyes and your soul, and to even bring joy if it is possible. Just imagine putting up an images in your house, where you are going to see it “x” amount of hour everyday, and knowing the investment you are going to put into the images, you most likely won’t be changing it after a good 3-5 years (if you are hardworking).</p>
<p>So, I decided it better be something that is meaningful and inspiring for JP and I. And, I decided to create them myself, paint with the only 1 media I already have…my 8 years old PC!</p>
<p>Then, comes another problem…JP &amp; I have very different taste. I refer something pastel with raw art brushes, natural and a colour layer to create dept. JP is more of the modern techno art, clean line, vibrant color and lively topic kind of taste.</p>
<p>We decided, we will compromise for something in between.</p>
<p>This art piece will go to JP Study room. So, the final choice is his.</p>
<p><strong>91 Blue Bird</strong><br />
I start of with the clean line, but organic tree selected by JP. This is my first attempt and I find it extremely interesting with the 9 blue bird on the tree and one on the floor. The meaning can be either the 1 trying be with the 9 on the tree, or the 1 is the only one rooted and independently commanding the 9.<br />
<strong>The 9 + 1 = 10 = Complete = WHOLESOME</strong></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-481" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/buying-my-idea/91birds/"><img class="size-full wp-image-481 alignnone" title="91BlueBirds" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/91birds.jpg?w=450&#038;h=494" alt="91BlueBirds" width="450" height="494" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Chosen One</strong><br />
The same organic tree, but total different approaches with the heavy oil brushes stroke across the artwork. The focus is still the tree, but with the colours are so strong which make it look like the “anointed” tree. A tree filled with life (despite there are only branches without leaf). You can expect the full potential when it grows to be the FULL TREE.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-482" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/buying-my-idea/burningtree/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-482" title="burningtree" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/burningtree.jpg?w=450&#038;h=515" alt="burningtree" width="450" height="515" /></a></p>
<p>He fall for “The Chosen One”. <strong><em>How about you?</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#666699;"><em>&#8220;Sometimes the storm of life can literally brings us to our knees.  Child Pose gives us the opportunity for spiritual surrender, to realize that &#8216;of myself, I can do nothing, but there is a power in me that can.&#8217;  We spend our whole lives resisting the idea of surrender, we see it as a weakness, as giving up.  Then suddenly we hit a point where we realize that the moment of &#8220;letting go&#8221; is not when life is over, it is when life really begins&#8230;&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p>The quote above is given to all the BB instructors during our release 45 tuition&#8230;a great sharing from our head teacher. I don&#8217;t remember the source or origin of the quote&#8230; I am simply touch by the feeling behind every word.</p>
<p>It has come to a point for me&#8230;instead of fighting on to hold on permanent class&#8230;where I struggle in achieving what I wish in the class, but sometime fail to deliver due to the tiredness of the day&#8230; it is better for me to let it go.  Some people think that I am over critical to self. Yet, it does take me a while to get over it every time it happened.  Cheating and tolerating with sub standard is not my option. So, I knew the end is coming.</p>
<p>It was a quiet month (cum busy month)&#8230;the load of my work has driven me up to my neck like everyone else. Looking at the rate, I knew I need to be prepared for the closure, and I am right.</p>
<p>It is hard for me to initiate the closure although I am so burn-out, because the thought of unable to teach has truly saddened me. So, when it finally happened, part of me&#8230; I am glad&#8230;relief that I can retrieve my responsibility for some rest. The other part of me&#8230;feeling sad, because I know letting go of this commitment might also lead to a complete closure of this chapter&#8230;I know, the season coming to an end.</p>
<p>It was just a short 2 years&#8230;a wonderful journey I treasure. So much hard work, a group of people burning with the same passion and the will to do better each time&#8230;for the moment of fitness magic, is truly encouraging. It is about self discipline, the determination to work on, lots of practice, the excitement of each release and the love for those who enjoy the journey in the class&#8230;is such a joy to be teaching&#8230;truly.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t foresee where will I be heading&#8230;if I would take on one or two from time to time&#8230;or a complete stop due to my overwhelming schedule, I am not sure yet…Whichever it is, I truly wish, those who is with me for the past 2 years, will continue their journey, enjoying this beautiful program in the days to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Sometime a message is easier to deliver through writing&#8230;especially, when the message is hard to communicate in person. So, if a message is written under the category of dedication and the target appears as anonymous, it is actually “someone” who has a place in my heart.</p>
<p>Always, I hope “someone” would read it and catch the meaning of the writing, or at least find the reading applicable to part of his/her life.</p>
<p>If you nodded with the message, then…the message is dedicated to you.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-462" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/06/19/3-dedications/dedication/"><img class="size-full wp-image-462 alignnone" title="dedication" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/dedication.jpg?w=450&#038;h=600" alt="dedication" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1st Dedication: Distance</strong></p>
<p>I know you are not far from me. But, I felt you are million miles away from me. I can no longer understand that glimpse of your eyes, smile on your face, words that you write and heartbeat of your life. Yet, I think (I hope) life is good to you…more than what I can see and what I read. I hope this life you are having is like a dream come true, although there are no longer a place for me. Yet, I am happy for you and always keep you in my prayer.</p>
<p><strong>2nd Dedication:  Favorite</strong></p>
<p>Have favor on me, I asked. I am a little cold, I little ignorance and I little “into my own world” but you know I have a warm beating heart. I am more than a “title” you used to call me. You can call me by my name when you see me and I will definitely reply you with a BIG smile because you are special to me.</p>
<p><strong>3rd Dedication: Personhood</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#666699;">Male</span></em></p>
<p>I am shocked to know you broke off with her, yet the reason doesn’t surprises me. I guess, knowing your kind of character (not that I know you a lot)…this is unavoidable.  I hope you are not blaming yourself for the incident, instead…began to understand what you really want in life. Sometime, it is when you know what you want and living it out, you will be able to attract the right girls into your life, which will be comfortable with the way you are. She will be able to compliment you in everything that you do, because she is just another you.</p>
<p><span style="color:#666699;"><em>Female</em></span></p>
<p>Girl…I am glad you took the step. I know it is not an easy one but you made it. There are many twist and turn in life which is unavoidable, but it has strengthen you and made you a more attractive women. The journey of your womanhood has just began and be sure to add a few more splash of colour, living the best out of your life. You know God is faithful, and He will surely bless you.</p>

<p>Hey Ruby,<br />

<p><em>Received 17:44:23&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#666699;"><em>Once someone asked this question&#8230;<br />
<em>&#8220;Why do you want to get married?&#8221;</em></em></span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#666699;"><em>The one surpose to answer the question&#8230;<br />
<em>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;</em></em></span></p>
<p>There are many reasons why a man and a women wanted to get married. However, the complication of getting married and the risk one have to take after the wedding is far too unpredictable. No one can promise it was the right one, the right decision and most important of all&#8230;one will be happy ever after.</p>
<p>Sadly, the world reminded us the opposite.  If one is not optimistic or naive, it does required extra ordinary courage to be married and continue to work on the marriage.</p>
<p>The first year of marriage&#8230;the newly wed has equal of sweet times and challenges to overcome together. Just imagine how the men from Mars can live well with a women from Venus. It does certainly required lots of patient and communication, carefully not to drive the fragile relationship to the wall. We must acknowledge that too many people jump-off the ship right after the ship is set to sail.</p>
<p>So, the effort to bring the relationship a step further, increasing the quota of forgiveness and love to a new height is the only way out.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#666699;"><em>Someone once ask this question&#8230;<br />
<em>&#8220;What will you do if he will never change?&#8221;</em></em></span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#666699;"><em>The one surpose to answer&#8230;<br />
<em>&#8220;Be patient and be nice. Wait for him, just like how he waited for you.&#8221;</em></em></span></p>
<p>The answer above is true unless one is prepared to change their spouse. But, how many more of this to go?</p>
<p>So, be nice to your spouse because he/she is your selected one.  Remember to do anything which will bring joy and comfort to his/her heart. It will surely increase your love capacity too because this is a two way thing.</p>
<p>And, this is Ruby! ^_~</p>

<p>Oh God, it has surely taken away the smile on my face, leaving me with expressionless face and hollow eyes. If you were to see my face now….I am sorry.</p>
<p>But, I can’t do anything better.</p>
<p>When the emotion flood lost its control and if I have to talk, you will notice me speaking in a very “professional” tone. Everything is pleasant; everything is straight to the point with no fancy humor, casual conversation nor extra unnecessary words. You will notice I am somehow distance away.</p>
<p>Yet, it is…the best way I can talk at that moment.</p>
<p>I wish to be more cheerful and optimistic so I can simply sake it off me like hot potato. But I can’t. I notice my weakness but I couldn’t help in repeating it again and again. I am too obsessive compulsive and that is truly a killer. It is a real mind prison.</p>
<p>I have enough with my bitter pity sad sad face. I must see it past!</p>
<p><strong>Life is easier if one is happy.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><div id="attachment_435" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 376px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-435" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/harvesting-what-you-sow/harvestsow/"><img class="size-full wp-image-435" title="harvestsow" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/harvestsow.jpg?w=366&#038;h=595" alt="Harvesting what you sow" width="366" height="595" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Harvesting what you sow</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#666699;">&#8220;In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s under the ground that creates what&#8217;s above the ground. That&#8217;s why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow&#8217;s fruits. But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="color:#666699;"><em>- T. Harv Eker</em></span></p>
<p>The quote above is specially significant in this world wide economy downtime. It is time like this, you would really question your own strength and knowledge. What would you do if you were one of the victim in this down time? What can you do to earn a living? It is surely time to dig in to the root and change one perspective and attitude toward works and life.</p>
<p>You should truly praise God is you still earning your monthly salary and should truly stop complaining about what the company didn&#8217;t offer you &#8211; because truly now, it is the employer market. They will only choose those who can perform, those with good character and LOW COST (if possible).</p>
<p>I truly sad for those &#8220;LEGENDARY&#8221; skilled people, who is so highly paid, high profile becoming the crisis victim. I won&#8217;t think they deserve to be treated that way, as they are the pioneer that ignite our passion and uncovered our talent. However, it is just&#8230;sadly to say&#8230;time was really bad. It is time like this, all the sentimental value go straight down to the drain, and survivor nature shoot right to the surface.</p>
<p>Eventually, I truly hope&#8230;for those LEGENDARY skilled people, not to give up and stop complaining because complaining won&#8217;t bring you any further. It is like the wheat and weed grow together in the same field. The weed will stand tall and proud, but the wheat will humble his head because he is filled with knowledge and power. Eventually, during the harvest time, those without will be first to be cut away and thrown into fire.</p>
<p>Beside, if you think you are wheat, it is fine to bend (be flexible) as winner are those filled with knowledge and power, yet flexible to evolve and change, not those hard-headed insisting of standing tall and proud even though the burden is heavy, and the wind are strong.</p>
<p>I truly hope to see them on the stage once again, shining like the LEGENDARY Star I remembered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I love traveling, but I haven&#8217;t been doing it for a while. To me, working trip and leisure traveling is totally different story all over. The experience and and expectation is different. So, my Hong Kong cum China trip last year, and Germany cum London trip early this year is merely a biz trip. If you work with me before, or know the way I work, I am usually very objective oriented person. I will focus on what I want to achieved rather than where I must go and what I must do during my biz trip.</p>
<p>So now, I am going for a real trip to Bali. It is a valentine gift from JP. He know my desire for freedom and personal sophisticated preference. So, I basically get to make the call of what or where I would go. The disadvantage is, I have to do the homework.  Urgh&#8230;</p>
<p>Bali is a beautiful island with nice beaches, nice architecture building (usually palace &amp; temple) with very own Bali flavor and many concept hotel given different sensation based on different choice. To me, there is something I really really want to do&#8230; on top of the beautiful beaches, shopping and spa and&#8230;.it is  to discover the taste of the infamous Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). It can be found in an Orchid Garden in Denpasar. The unusual Indonesian bean sells for as much as $1,200 a kilogram in the United States, making it the world&#8217;s most expensive coffee.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-415" href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/1st-trip09-1st-sip/civet_coffee/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-415" style="margin:5px 8px;" title="civet_coffee" src="http://imeau.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/civet_coffee.jpg?w=340&#038;h=258" alt="civet_coffee" width="340" height="258" /></a><br />
The coffee, branded as among he rarest in the world, is naturally fermented through a civet cat&#8217;s digestive tract. Luwak- a cat-like mammal that lives in coffee plantations in Sulawesi, Java and Sumatra. Luwak exists entirely only the choicest, most perfectly matured beans which it then excretes, collected, clean it up, roast it and finally brewing these beans produces an unusual drink. The beans are hard to come by,  which makes it exclusive and therefore, to some&#8230;very high class.</p>
<p>I am very tempted to try the coffee for years, yet after several days of research and reading&#8230;I am considering to drop the idea. Based on one of the <a href="http://www.fivesensescoffee.com.au/news/2007/12/04/civet" target="_blank">feedback I found</a>, the Kopi Luwak doesn&#8217;t taste as fantastic as it sounds. The idea of drinking the &#8220;poo&#8221; wasn&#8217;t a great sight to begin with, on top of that, I am not confident with the cleaning and brewing process prior to serving. Lastly, it would cost me RM120 for 2, the most expensive coffee I ever had in my life.</p>
<p>I am not sure if I am trying to convince you, or myself that I am not going for it&#8230;but anyway, do let me know if you tried it before or if I should go and give it a try.</p>
<p>Cheers! ^_~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I am in Frankfurt for the Christmas Fair 2009. It is my first time to Frankfurt&#8230;yet I didn&#8217;t get more time to go around, not even get a chance to drink the famous Germany beer&#8230;urgh! Actually, I started vomit the moment I touch down in the airport and I have not idea why. It doesn&#8217;t get better even after I settle down. Having the jet lag all over me, I am too very regular to the washroom.</p>
<p>So, the only one thing I do is some hot chocolate (the only food/drink my body allowed) and a walk at the park.</p>
<p>It is 8am in the morning&#8230;a breath of fresh air and the internal serenity experienced before beautiful scenery.</p>

<p><img alt="" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t172/rachellmt/Frankfurt_wash.jpg" title="Morning Wash" class="alignnone" width="450" height="500" /> I can see the droplet of water on its head&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Truly, is freezing cold here…but I am fine. God given auto-body heater in me is in its tip top condition. So, most of the time…snow or rain, I feel good.</p>
<p>2 February 2009 (Monday) – the whole London stood still due to the heaviest snow storm in the past 18 years. Most were worried about me (thanks for praying for me)…but actually…I travel from Frankfurt to London when the condition is slightly better. However, I still got stuck in the airport for 5 hours and inside the plane for another 2 hours. Most of the time, we just sit and wait for someone to tell us when our aircraft is ready for boarding, when runway is ready for landing, and last…when is our turn to leave the aircraft and go into the terminal. It is truly exhausting experience.</p>
<p>However, in the other hand, I felt blessed. I never see or touches the real “snow” before (the one I had in the ski resort are man made). So, despite of the exhausting wait, I look forward for the snow&#8230;to see it fall from the sky, and land on my face.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am not going to write anymore…I just  love London.</p>
<p>In London, red belongs to winter. Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to ALL Chinese who celebrate Chinese New Year.</p>
<p>It was an extraordinary year for me. I have a good time visiting east Malaysia and celebrating Chinese New Year away from my own parent for the first time. I come to realize (although I should have known) that every family celebrate their Chinese New Year differently. All family do have the same new year eve dinner, the AngPao and the mandarine orange&#8230;yet it was different. Specially, the food we eat.</p>
<p>The food and the cooking style is very much different from my own family. Overall&#8230;they like it sweet. The new year dishes and the cookies are sweeter than average I had from my home. More meat dishes compares with vegetable and seafood.</p>
<p>I came from a farmer&#8217;s family, my grandfather is a farmer. I am very used to having more than 2 type of vege serving on the table among all the other meat and seafood. I always thought this is a common practise for all the others. Yet, I am wrong. I found out that my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law family, including my own in-law family are very much a meat eater. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law never had that much of vege untill they come to our family, which they take some time to get used to.</p>
<p>Beside, it is not common for others to eat Steamboat during CNY, but it is a must have in my parent&#8217;s house. ^_~ You have no idea how much I miss the steamboat and vegetables.</p>
<p>Yet, spending Chinese New Year with my in-law is very nice. It is always good to spend time together as a family. Having a 8 months old baby(JP&#8217;s niece) among us surely brighten up the long travelling from one place to another.</p>
<p>I had a good new year, how about you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I been showing too much sorrow recently&#8230;my apology!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something sweet and wonderful I prefer to remember and share. It is these good time with family motivated me to move on and never give up.</p>
<p>I am not going into jokes and stories we share&#8230;but more of what we cook and eat.</p>
<p>O yeah&#8230;I have a 4.5kg turkey for 2008 Christmas. Got it last minute from Bangsar Grocer &#8211; a frozen turkey. It took 8 hours to defroze, 3 hour of marination, another 3 hour of rosting in the oven, and lastly, add-on 2 hour to settle down (get cold). It turn out quite well.</p>
<p>Then, I have my husband anviously waiting to cut the turkey&#8230;he&#8217;s so cute&#8230;and he cut it wrongly!</p>
<p>An add-on&#8230;a short story &#8211; when I am preparing the turkey, my family claimed that is my 2nd time cooking a turkey. I told them it was my 3rd but they didn&#8217;t believe.  Somehow, everyone forgotten about the 2nd turkey I did on 2007. I doesn&#8217;t help no matter how I explain and descibe it. Then, I remember <a href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/turkey-for-new-year-eve/">this post</a>. I think, they probably mistaken the turkey with a big chicken because it was just a 3.5kg turkey. Anyway, thanks to this blog journal I have. I just log on to my blog and &#8220;tadang&#8221;!!!! I proved to them that this is my 3rd (yet to be the last) turkey. Hurrey!!!</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;I love it all! Here are some photos for your leisure!</p>
<p>The before&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I know the title sound very wrong&#8230;and is wrong, but still&#8230;this is how I feel at the moment.</p>
<p>End of 2008, early 2009&#8230;one common topic most will talk about is the economy situation of the country. You don&#8217;t have to be a prophet to know, 2009 is going to be a hard year.</p>
<p>How hard is it? Well, it is subject to the industry you are in and the role you are playing. Anyway, one common ground we all have&#8230;spend wisely and don&#8217;t lost your job no matter how. So, no matter what challenges you faced in your work&#8230;you must persevere. </p>
<p>Having this mentality in mind, I know that I must press-on and continue. But allow me&#8230;for once, allow me to be a withdrawer, even when the timing is wrong. </p>
<p>I am not complaining. I just wish I can care less. I wish I can be stronger (2nd time I say this. 1st is <a href="http://imeau.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/i-cannot-fail/">here</a>). I want to leave, before they hurt me further. </p>
<p>Since I can&#8217;t be hash to people, doesn&#8217;t mean I allow others to be hash to me.<br />
Since I am incapable to STEP on others back to survive, doesn&#8217;t mean I can&#8217;t walk away.</p>
<p>No point to argue who&#8217;s right or wrong, but if one is willing or not. I am not willing&#8230;not willing to continue. Meanwhile&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Genesis 50:20</strong> (New International Version)<br />
<em>You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.</em></p>

<p>Do you ever encounter situation where you don&#8217;t know what you are doing but when you notice, you miss a turn and oversight on some basic thing. You feel worst if you make the same mistake more than once.</p>
<p>I am probably in the dreamland for the past one week. I couldn&#8217;t count how many mistakes I make but it is simply unbelievable.</p>
<p>Here is one good example&#8230;</p>
<p>One day&#8230;as I am driving to work. I need to make an right turn toward Pencala Link to office. Instead, I make a left turn. When I notice, I am already at the end of the junction. I couldn&#8217;t take that route because is usually very &#8220;jam&#8221; on the weekday. I decided to take a U-Turn and go back to where I begin and turn to the route I suppose to take.</p>
<p>As I do that, the next thing I notice, I am already at the end of the junction. I am again, at the wrong side of the road. It was a &#8220;O My God! What happened to me?&#8221;. I almost felt like slapping myself and say&#8230;&#8221;Hey girl, wake up!&#8221;</p>
<p>I have no choice but to make another U-Turn and I tell myself I must turn right. I actually shouting out loud in my car&#8230;&#8221;Turn right, turn right, turn right&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Finally I get to my office 20 min late. Don&#8217;t ask me what happened because I have no idea. When I doing the left turn, I have no clue where is my &#8220;mind&#8221;.</p>
<p>Same thing as this happened in other area and trust me, I am very frustrated with it. Yet, I thank God the busy period is over. Now is just settle down and start to chillax* a little. So, let me be blur so long I hurt no one, let me dream, let me fly away to a far far away land&#8230;let the bell jingle all the way toward Christmas&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><em>Disclaimer: No one (any living things or non living things) is hurt during my dreamy car drive.<br />
New Vocabulary: Chillax is a new word introduce since the YACamp 2008. It means, chill &amp; relax.<br />
Remark: This picture above is titled &#8220;Dreaming of Christmas&#8221;. Hope you like it. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Merry Christmas &amp; Happy New Year! Cheers ^_~</strong></span></p>
