7th International Hot Air Balloon Fest in Putrajaya

We are so excited about the yearly fiesta Hot Air Balloon at the Putrajaya. 

It was about half an hour drive from the place I live.

The event is held yearly in March.  

This year highlight is the outrageous shaped balloon Van Gogh. 

This special hot air balloon is to pay tribute to the famed post-impressionist (20th century) European painter.  

The previous fiesta 2010

Graffiti Art in Kajang, Selangor.

A new graffiti art at the bus stop Jalan Tukang, Kajang.  

The iconic buildings are old buildings. 

Appreciate the little surprise at this busy corner and thank you to the artist who contribute to light up the city. 

shhh...everything will come at perfect time

I am so much admired at those who can write well, in structure ways..

I wish I have that power and express my feeling & thoughts, in words :)

I love to try ...

Here, I come .. 

At one time, I attempt to fill up my 'plate' with all sort of activities ~ from things that I want to learn, art, MBA, design activities for children etc. to routine house chores.

Then, I realised that it was impossible with the limited time a day that I can craft out from my full time job. No doubt that I have to spend more times on the roads (include traffic jam).

Thus, I was exhausted and feel so miserable in these few months.

However, seem I still not really sort this complicated things out…but the important points that I would like reminder to self is

"Everything you need..will come to you at perfect time" 

Be patient & go gently

Moleskine ~ Watercolored pages

A lots is going on these couple of weeks

Apart from Chinese New Year celebration and tons of the task in hand

also the assignment (yay..still cracking my head on the thesis / project title for my last semester)

Steal some time, playing with water color on the Moleskine pages. 

Those pages are prepared for my Feb/Mar journaling. 

Happy Time with MT Tapes

Evidence Journal : Green Tea

The golden package is the Tie Guan Yin 

(hardly to get teabag type of Chinese Tea in market)

In 2013/14 , I'm hooked on consuming Japanese Green Tea, tonnes of various types. 

The above are pages recorded the type of Green Tea teabags packaging appeared to me 

and this habit continue unabated in 2015. 

The only difference is that I'm taking tea leaves instead of tea bag for now.  

By the way, if you would like to know more about Green Tea, 

you may refer to Stylecraze about 22 benefits of green tea. 

John Ho : I Love Tokyo and You !

Recently I bought a book from Borders, IOI City Mall about an Illustrator from Hong Kong ~ John Ho who quit his job and spend a year in Japan pursuing his dream in studies.

I was mesmerized by his passion  in life. 

He illustrated his living, studying, even his romance story and every minutes count and 

filled with joy and experience.

There are some similarity in Japanese and Chinese character which may vary in meaning. 

So grateful that John Ho shared and included the list of the words in this book (the black box in the left) 

Every doubt that I had before has solved.

You are allowed to be yourself

(before)

my canvas painting that I did few weeks back.

I fear that I could spoil the painting if I add more elements

but i decide to give a try .. and bear with whatever mistake i have did 

small baby steps ... and the painting is looks like....hmm

(after)

I have not done yet...

The canvas painting will continue to evolve in sometimes later

You are allowed to be yourself, 

to make mistakes, 

to start again, 

to try new things, 

to break out of your comfort zone, 

to speak your mind, 

to sing your own song, 

to relax, 

to have time to yourself outside of work, 

to be content, 

to be ambitious, 

to sleep in, 

to live life YOUR way, 

to not understand, 

to love again after loss, 

to ask questions, 

to wonder why, 

to forgive, 

to apologize, 

to stand on your own two feet, 

to depend on someone, 

to love too much, 

to cry, 

to achieve, 

to dream … you ARE allowed.
