May : Unleash Your Creativity

MAY is the month to unleash your potential and creativity. I took a photo of the blank Mandala page in my Passion Journal. I used milky gel pen (or called as cream color pen or pastel color pen) and my all time favorite uni-ball Signo gel ink roller pen for the doodling. 

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.  --  Francis of Assisi

The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

(Makes Me Happy) Turquoise Stone

Turquoise color is my favorite color. DH bought me the Firoza Stone accessories from Pakistan. 

According to some surce from internet, the turquoise stone when worn in the form of a necklace, it guards the entire neck related problem and the emotional healing energy of turquoise checks the overall mood of the wearer and balances it. 

Another souvenir from Pakistan, Onyx Marble. 

(MakesMeHappy) No matter how our lives are

A pleasant garden view from a neighborhood area I stay.

How am I missed this little corner of mine ~ Mescrap studio for a long time, eigg... 2-3 weeks. For the passed few weeks, I have been dived in all the planning and budgeting works for the corporate world. At least the storm and rain had been passed for now. Before the next dive in , I recheck again my fuel level (have enough art and craft-ing time), realign purpose and objective (for financial freedom) and adjust my happiness level (work-life balance). 

Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.

Follow Your Bliss

 Hello my lovely people, hope you all are well there. I made a small book holder for the palm-sized mini journal book. 

I'm doing good in this month. Doing something that is new to me. New Venture : I'm helping friend of mine to do the translation (from English --> Chinese) for the movie script. Hope to have more coming ... 

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.

(MakesMeHappy) with just a piece of cake

Nearly mid-April already, everything seems to be on an accelerated pace these days!

I have sweet-tooth, craving for piece of cake.

Until, just found out a newly store in Isetan KLCC, Malaysia, a Japanese Pastry Shop Chateraise - Patisserie, long queue and crowded with ladies. Oish, I grab a piece of Legendary Fresh Cream Cake (RM 14.80) to pamper myself.  

Of course, it taste good and tempting. 

Love the white fresh cream and also the imported strawberries. 

there are more choices

There is nothing you can't have. 

There is nothing you can't do. 

There is nothing you can't be.

April : Exercise Your Charm

How does this relate to your life inspirations ?

What can you do with this ?

Regard your life as a spiritual experiment. See what happens in any given moment if you just say ‘yes’ to the present moment, to what is. As you do this, your life changes. --  Eckhart Tolle

Mandala drawing for the month of April, realised that March went by so quickly. 

Everything I need is there waiting for me. 

There is more abundance I could get, more people to meet, more food to eat, more love than I can even imagine.

Everything I need and desire are waiting for me to use and to have. The Universe always says YES no matter what I have choose to believe. I choose to see myself in the most positive ways. 

Namaste. 

pool of endless possibilities

Hello dearie, hope you are well there.


One of the windy afternoon...I submerge and swim in the pool, it is not a normal water pool but is a pool of endless possibilities and abundance indeed. 

Dear Universe, just to let you know that I'm free here to take up new venture (*wink). 

I graciously asked, if you can give me something fun. Universe replied, "Yes. I have something for you. Take it."  

And , I have got feedback yesterday. (*fingers crossed*)

Besides, I have also receive few messages from Universe ...after I send out my proposed work. What a comfort !

Here are few of them and it sounds like...

BELIEVE !

"It is hard to convince yourself that you can do something that you don't believe you can do. " (Iyanla Vanzant)

(I'm working on something that I didn't know if I am good at. But I am taking up the challenge)

Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

(George Sheehan)

By surrendering to the unknown, we create the space for a deeper knowing to emerge. In the heart of the not knowing, the paths that we are here to walk reveal themselves.  

--  Jeff Brown

and all of the messages are delivered just-in-time.

I'm working on little project , Gasso-typed of houses, signature of Shirakawa-go, Gifu Province, Japan.  

Thank you Universe !

I love you. 

the joy that flowing endless (ATC)

 

Hello everyone ! I have been creating some small project.
I dug out the ATC kits that i purchased sometimes back.

 

When you do things from your soul , you feel a river flowing in you,  a JOY. 

~ Rumi 

I used the cut-to-sized paper stock and added my favorite collage images (eg. Teesha Moore) / paper scraps. As always, do whatever I feel inspired to do, use what I have and create in anyway that I am inspired to do. Love those little cards, still work-in-progress.

Thank you for stopping by blog today, have a great day !

Self Worthiness

A collage made out of the random pages (to 3 pages) selected blindly from the Living Mall brochure.
Of course the activity is to challenge myself move out of the comfort zone. And use whatever available resources (images) with me to make up the page.

Mood swings in me last few days and found out that was caused by lacking of self-worthiness.

Had been surrounded by questions..like...am I deserve it ...

****************
YES. OF COURSE. I deserve to have the best for myself.



The doubt is clean now and I am a happy girl again.
It is so true that the most delightful moment is to suddenly recognize your own worth.

 

March : Define Your Style

Each month, I free up myself, quiet my mind, colouring the pages in 2016 Cosmic Synergy planner. The coloring process untangled the messy thoughts, sorta of meditation. 

" Stepping out of your comfort zone if you want to learn, grow and achieve your dreams. Often when you trust your gut feeling and try something new you trigger a series of events that can change your life. " ~ DWYL 2016.  

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all of our exploring will be to arrive when we started and know the place for the first time. 
~ T.S.Eliot

Appreciate the moments that appeared in my life, either it gives me the bitter or sweet.

(What if) Financial Freedom

Being financial freedom and travelling around the world ~ is what most people want. This is also what I want when I was at the age of 25+  :P


For me, I define financial freedom as I have sufficient cash in (passive income) without for me to work for 9 to 5 cubicle-work. Apparently, if I choose to work, the job must be something that interesting and I passionate about. I have abundant life and to live abroad (long stay) in the countries that I like. I am pursuing towards this path...my own version of Financial Freedom.

This lovely couple, Jeremy (Go Curry Cracker) and Winnie (Winnie's Chinese blog) , uses 10 years to build up their investment portfolio and quit their jobs in their 30s. Now, they are living a nomad life, choose to travel the world at this young age (with their 10 months old son). I read their story last year, and guess what, they stopped by Kuala Lumpur in their recent Asia travel trip. I am so grateful that I can meet them in person ! Jeremy and Winnie spared time to meet up with KL fans on Mar 3.

I gained a lot insights from the meet up. Thanks Jeremy and Winnie.

(Read here) How did the the couple does that ?

In short, they saved most of their payroll (70%), maximise their investment portfolio, maintain minimalist lifestyle and no debts (means no house and no car).

Abundance is not about owning material. Abundance is a mindset.

I choose now
