Wondering in Dreamland

Do you ever encounter situation where you don’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.

I am probably in the dreamland for the past one week. I couldn’t count how many mistakes I make but it is simply unbelievable.

Here is one good example…

One day…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’t take that route because is usually very “jam” 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.

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 “O My God! What happened to me?”. I almost felt like slapping myself and say…”Hey girl, wake up!”

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…”Turn right, turn right, turn right….”

Finally I get to my office 20 min late. Don’t ask me what happened because I have no idea. When I doing the left turn, I have no clue where is my “mind”.

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…let the bell jingle all the way toward Christmas…

Disclaimer: No one (any living things or non living things) is hurt during my dreamy car drive.
New Vocabulary: Chillax is a new word introduce since the YACamp 2008. It means, chill & relax.
Remark: This picture above is titled “Dreaming of Christmas”. Hope you like it.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Cheers ^_~

MISS U ALL!

I have too little time…too many to do!

I wish I can be there during your birthday, your gathering, your exhibition, when you share jokes, catching a movie or even out for mamaking.

Instead, all I have…sadly, is only loads of work and meetings.

How can I get out of this???

I wish to team teach with Ezura on the new release (which is done and over…the next release is at the door step)
I wish to go for more Combat and Jam…urg…GOD know I am desperate!
I wish to cook the vege I bought from Cameron 2 weeks ago…they are all “GONE”
I wish to compile all my wedding photos and DVDs…still stuck in my mind
I wish to catch a few movie…now I need to consider where to get the DVDs
I wish to finish a few book… there’s a layer of dust on it
I wish I post and share more often…all hits became history…
I wish I could lay at the beach and do Nothing… think Nothing….
I wish I can just cling on JP and being a housewife.

Ops…how irresponsible is that. Anyway, I am just yanking….ya da ya da… arggg….I MISS YOU!

Cannot fails

It is funny when one move on from one job to another hoping the load will be lighter, the task will easier to handle. Yet it must have some challenges to enable one to demonstrate his/ her problem solving skills.

Problems are usually unresolve issues from the past catching up on us. It doesn’t mean to be pleasant. So, solving it won’t be a pleasant process as well, especially when the problem is related to living things – HUMAN.

These problem can be easily resolve if you know about it, when it is just a tiny seed growing its first root and stems. It will usually require special attention and time spend together to be able to notice it. Else, it will get big and grow strong like a snowball waiting to overtake and swallow you in pain. That is the most scary “problem”…to me.

Yes, I am currently in one. Painful indeed. I wish I can be a little tough, a little stronger, having a little more courage with a little more wisdom.

I wish I can take the easy way out, yet I am not used to failure.

JP commented, “You cannot accept failure. Rachel Lim must success.”
I reply, “I always fails, but God required me to be excellent!”
JP reply,”Excellent Yes, Perfect No”
*Sight*

I won’t walk away from problem. I don’t usually do. I prefer to see it to past, even if the problem gonna take so much off me. I allowed myself to endure the pain but never walk away.

JP commented, “You are always harsh to self, but forgiving to others.”

Yes, with many holes in my heart, I will press on. Pray for me…will you?

Life will go on

My elder sister, Amy

The only thing I insisted to have…the covenant with God.

Yupe, I finally received my photos. Here’s sneak preview for you. Give me more time to put them together. Ops, bare in mind, it can be months but I promise I will do it.

I am  kinda busy after the big day (before and after the big day, to be exact). Yupe, you are right…no honeymoon any soon. Instead, we drink honey lemon everyday, especially during full moon night. Ah…just kidding ^_~

I have some deadline to met at the end of October…something like 1000 pcs of designs for 2009, working with 16 different factories in China, on top of the Olympic and typoon hitting, I am grateful enough the work is on schedule after X-lions of email and instruction flying around in both Chinese and English. Sometime, it is simply hilarious to read the email and being amazed how a simple things can became so complicated.

So, yupe…we are taking our time. ^_~

If you are asking “the question”…same answer…we are taking our time. Oh, another reason is…I love the new balance release, especially the core back shoulder roll, simply sexy! So, I would prefer to go for the regular instructor options rather than the pregnancy option.

On top of that…I have leader’s retreat, mission trip filling my plate. Arrrg…life have to go on…the only different is…I have a companion now. ^_~

Cheers!

The big day V | Finale

From the time I get into the bridal car…the journey to the ceremony, I start to get a little nervous. I know I am late (just like what everyone told me), the bride always late. I don’t do it intentionally, but JP definitely get so worried if anything happened to me. He’s relief the moment he heard the “hon hon” of the car upon my arrival.

The moment of walking in is great. That is the moment…I can see faces, all my relatives and close friend cheering for me…

• those who we love and respect, always been a true inspiration for JP & I
  
• those who travel from far, even when the flight got cancel but take the hassle to transit in 3 different airport to be in my wedding
• those who extent their helping hand during the preparation and actual day making the event a memorable one
• those who bless us and always pray for us, and wanted to be there for us and witness this special day
• those who we hardly in touch but always supporting and wishing the best for us
• those who cancel and change their traveling schedule to be there with us
• those who travel from outstation (Penang, Sabah, Johor, Melaka, Singapore) the night before and early in the morning to witness the celebration
  
• those who love us, close to us and wanted to share this joyous day with us
• those who took great effort looking “lavender or green” to match the theme color
• those who can’t make it, but call and leave us the best wishes
• also those I suppose to invite but didn’t get to reach on time…my heart is praying that they would forgive me, and happy for me.

All these faces…pops up in a split second…truly bring smile to my face. I don’t know how I look walking down the aisle, but I am truly smiling because of all of you.

I heard…many is glad we finally tie the knot, after many years
I heard…many is touch and shed their tears
I heard…many promise themselves to walk down the aisle with their love one
I heard…the wine is too good, some got drunk drinking with a straw
I heard…I look sweet and beautiful in my wedding dress
I heard…all the wonderful greeting from people we love
I heard…the songs is sweet to the ears…”I am yours” sang by a lady

and

I saw…the sun is shining bright
I saw…the place is very romantic and cozy
I saw…the flower is fresh with sweet fragrant
I saw…the food is fine and the dessert is fabulous
I saw…many was there in lavender, green, cream and white
I saw…wedding cake is too lovely to be eaten (I know…I wish I can bring it home)
I saw…peoples smiling and sweating (a little hot?)
I saw…peoples entertaining themselves with all kind of poses and jokes
I saw…children love the fish (not the food, but the live one swimming in the pond)

and…many more… I thank you! Truly…

Thank you…for being part of our lives and our celebration.
