Angel*

I don’t fancy soft toys nor displays because maintaining them is always an issue. If I have to keep them inside the box or glass, I would rather not have any. Yet, this “angel” display is one of the items I can’t resist of owning it. My sister knew me and insisted to get it as my Christmas present (this isn’t another Christmas posting ^_~).

From the sculpture creation point of view, it wasn’t the best looking one, but definitely the one suited for me. Those were the days I give up all the hope of happiness and my faith level is very low. However, an image always came into my mind, and unfolds itself.

I found this “angel”, in a trip to Singapore many years ago.

I found myself hugging my legs towards my chest, having my head rested on top my knees, just like the posture of the “angel”. I am alone and cold. As the picture unfolds, I notice I am protected with a pair of wings and I am in His arm. I felt His heartbeat and found my comfort. I cling on to this feeling, for a long long time. This angel reminded me of the comfort and care I found, helping me to walk through my darkest hours…

The second “angel” I received late last week. I am quite surprise when she passed me the present (yeah…another Christmas gift). This angel dressed in red, face lifted, holding a metal bar with 3 gifts, created fully with recycle metal plat. Immediately, I knew something is about to change for better. All I need to do now is to look upon Him and get ready to GO 2 GROW. It is time to leave the comfort zone (or un-comfort zone) and move on.

Sorry if this sound a little secretive. Ask me in person if you don’t understand what I mean. ^_~

A special gift/one

Christmas eve, I accepted a class in Klang Bukit Tinggi at 6:30pm doing release 39. I have a pregnant lady in the class. It is quite challenging to give cue to regular member for more advance option, as well as the pregnant lady with the safety cue in the same time. God know how much I speak compare with all the other class I do. Anyway, everything went well. I have a lady sharing with me how she can only do 1 side split pose but not the other, a small chat with the pregnant lady and her hubby after the class to encourage them further.

I have Jap food with the man in a fancy restaurant. The food is disappointing but we have a good time. Then, we took a smooth drive home. Just as I trying to get my gym bag from the car, I notice a big and beautiful silver color gift box with an English classy ribbon hiding behind. I anxiously grasp the gift with a big smile on my face. I knew it was my Christmas gift.

I have been teaching BB using music CD for a period of time and I absolutely have no problem with it. I don’t mind of the complication of mixing track, composing and burning them into a CD as well since it is pretty handy to me. I thought I would never need an music player since I don’t fancy carry many gadgets around in my way overloaded handbag.

However, when the music CD start to fail me way too many times, I figure the only way for me to solve the problem, to cut down the drama and preventing my heart from getting heart attack, is to get an music player. In fact, I was thinking of something real simple, which is to have a gadget that has everything I need in one (the camera, the phone, the music player). This is possible with the technology we have today and to get that is just the matter of…how much you willing to pay.

The fact is, I am not willing to pay yet because the only gadget that meet my requirement aren’t here yet (iPhone). Then, I figure my phone still working fine, my camera is good enough for my casual use, and I actually don’t need to get a new one to replace them. Maybe, not until iPhone is here ^_~ So, all I need now is just a portable music player.

I was thinking in my mind when and which player I will be getting and the man decided it got to be an iPod. Now, is just about swiping the card.

A special gift from the special one…

It was a black color 8GB iPod nano waiting for me, company by a black color alien like portable speaker, and a iPod arm holder. The man gently assembles the iPod and giving me the first preview of how to operate the gadget. Then, he even transfers all my BB tracks into the iPod, and showing me how to compose my playlist. I am extremely overwhelmed and no word can describe how I felt that time.

The man told me, the sales person think that I am a very lucky (blessed) women. Indeed, I am ^-^

I launched my iPod in Klang Bukit Tinggi 6:30pm class on New Year eve. Since I am such a drama queen, something else happened that day. Anyway, I am not gonna tell you here cause is pretty embarrassing. Ask me in person ^_~

A Blueprints Christmas

25th December 2007 – This is the last cell gathering for Blueprints for the year 2007. We ended our year well together as a cell, celebrating the fellowship of one another, as well as celebrating Christmas, in remembrance of the birth of our God Jesus Christ.

Here’s some post event coverage. The few things that make Blueprints Christmas gathering special:

1. Celebrating Christmas as a Christian – Many celebrate Christmas, but not many understand the real meaning of Christmas. It is very significant to celebrate Christmas as a Christian, with gratitude and praise to God.
   
2. First Blueprints Christmas gathering – We usually spend our Christmas with the family and love one. For those who are living away from their parents, we have our brother and sister in Christ to celebrate with. This is my first, and real cell’s Christmas gathering.
   
3. New believers in the house – It is awesome to listen to their testimonial in a Christmas event as this. It truly strengthen my faith as a Christian.
   
4. Non believer in the house – We have good company of non-believer joining us as well, which add extra spice to our gathering.
   
5. Simple & Good Food – Our BBQ team has done a good job in cooking all the raw material in the shortest period of time, even on the rainy day. More time is spent on fellowship and filling the stomach with good food. How awesome is that?
6. Speak & Vote – I personal enjoy this game where everyone is given a question, a chance to share their thought, and others to ask questions (to understand one another further) and eventually vote for their favorite story.
   
7. Gift exchange – An exercise we do to bless one another. The key is always giving things that other will like; the essence of true blessing.

Sausages are the all time favorite in any BBQ (fast to cook, nice to eat)

I wonder what the BIG man says to the SMALL boy…

Finally, our group photo!

Thanks for making the gathering such a wonderful experience!

Ready 2 Gift

I love shopping for gift. To me…I prefer to give things the receiver would like, or at least things that I would like. I will imagine what the receiver will think when they receive the gift and how the gift can be practically use in their daily life.

Using my plant to display the colorful animal clipper before giving them away ^_~ I am so excited when I found this collection of clipper. Aren’t they pretty?

Good first impression is always important. Unless I have no choice or no time, else I would definately wrap the gift as pretty as possible before I give them away.

I simply enjoy seeing the happiness in the eyes of the receiver when they received the gift.

Then, if the content of the gift met their heart desire, that will be brilliant!

Theme of silver & red with pink ribbon…simply irresistible!
