无私的爱


(Photo Source: Google Images)

我的母亲,是位传统的女性,是一位为家庭全然付出的人,她生活的节奏和目的,不是为先生就是为孩子;她总是忙到最后一刻才吃饭,她总把好吃的东西留给她的孩子,生活的乐趣也就是看到我们快乐而感到快乐。她常对我说:她的财富就是她的孩子,只要看到我们心,她就开心。
她努力的让最美好美好的事留在我们身边,完美地诠释了家的样貌,生活的苦和委屈,藏在她总 是笑咪咪的脸后。还记得去年我的二十一岁生日当天,我从槟城乘搭飞机回古晋,到达古晋已经是大约晚上九点多。回到家里,妈妈赶快把她煮的面线摆放在我的面前。哇,真的是好大一碗面线,还有两个鸡腿。那时,妈妈看着我一口,一口的吃完,她的脸上也不禁然地露出幸福的笑容。到现在,这个画面还很清楚印刻的在我的记忆里。
妈妈也有很可爱的一面。有一次,我正准备考试,那段时间超压力,我就常常跟她诉苦。结果,妈妈梦到自己也考试了!哈哈。梦里,她在考场上里正准备考试,她心里想:惨了啦,那么久都没动过书,等下要怎么做考题呢?就在这个时候,考官出现了,而考官就是我们教堂的神父!哈哈。更好笑的是考试的题目是烹饪!妈妈开心极了因为这道题目她会做。就在这个时候,她从梦里惊醒了。过后,她把这个真“疯狂”的梦说给我听,我听了也哈哈大笑。真疯狂啊!
我亲爱的妈妈,谢谢你为我做的一切。你的善良,慈爱, 无私的爱让我度过了美好又快乐的岁月,未来的日子还很长,希望你能好好的为自己而活,做自己开心的事,吃自己喜欢的东西,去自己想去的地方。

Early Birthday Surprise


Early birthday surprise from my friends! I love this so much, this really surprised me. This big two two making my birthday truly memorable :) Time flies that I have been here for almost 2 and half years (looking back it was like yesterday!) Therefore, this would be my last birthday celebration with friends in my University life. Actually uni life sometimes is quite boring because everyday life is the same,and dull.Get up to have class,do some exercises,go bed. The other day is coming. Luckily with all my crazy gang, they make it not boring but interesting. We always have lot of fun together :) Looking forward for our future trips! Like what people always said: Life is short, make the most of it.


It's always good to hang out with group of friends and I'm glad I get to know all of you.


My friends ask me: Are you happy? Of course I am happy! Look at the photo I smile with my eyes squint closed almost :p

P/S: Thanks you for making my birthday truly memorable although this is my first birthday away from home. Anyway, more than words. Thank you!

Felt Rose Tutorial

  Simple and Beautiful Felt Rose

I found this patten at How Joyful and printed it, cut it out and cut out my felt.  I used her template for the bigger size roses.  After I did the first one, I didn't need the pattern anymore and just eyeballed similar shapes for the different size of roses.
The materials that you need for this tutorial:

- Your color choice of felt

- Threat, needle and scissors

- Hot glue gun ( Since then, I don't have any hot glue gun, i use super glue )

- Download the pattern from How Joyful

(There are 4 different sizes for you from the template )

Enjoy! One of the tutorials i just love! :)

Felt Craft


This is my very 1st handmade felt craft!

Felt is a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting,
condensing and pressing woollen fibres.

While some types of felt are very soft, some are tough.
Usually I use the soft felt to make my felt craft.

I forgot when and how I fall in love with felt craft.
Many cultures have legends as to the origins of feltmaking.

If not mistaken the origins of feltmaking was actually europe.
( At first I thought it was from Japan)

Anyway, all this to say that this is my new way
of collecting craft projects and inspiration.


Have a nice day! :)

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

(Photo source: Google Images) 

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
That why Men and Women think differently.
Do you agree?

I have been reading this book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" written by John Gray who is a bestselling author, lecturer and relationships counsellor whose books have sold many millions of copies worldwide. "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"  is actually really good and he makes some really interesting point and share his own experience.
The Martian and Venusian languages had the same words, but the way they were used gave different meanings.
He goes through 13 topics and the most interesting i found in chapter 5 is "Ten common complaints that are easily misinterpreted".

One of the complaints that are easily misinterpreted is Women say things like this: "We never go out", Men respond like this: "that's not true. We went out last week.

"We never go out' translated into Martian means "I feel like going out and doing something together. We always have such a fun time, and I love being with you. Without this translation, a man may hear "You are not doing your job. What a disappoint-ment you have turned out to be. ( P/s: What you thinking? It's that true? It just so true! :p)

Man should have this "Language Dictionary" because man will begins to understand the way women think and feel. Perhaps women should have one too to know your partner better! :)

Bako National Park

Last august, my uni friends come to visit me in kuching. I decided to bring them to Bako National Park, which I never been there too. LOL~ Anyway, i think this is the best place where you should be if you are in kuching.

How to get there? Take a bus ride from Kuching to Bako Market which takes around 45 minutes to reach there. From there, it's a 30-minute boat ride (RM 80 return for the whole boat) along the river estuary to the park headquarters. Tell your boatman what time you plan to return to Kuching. No worries! He will wait for you at the dock. 
Along the river estuary~ Nice weather + Nice Scenery :)
  
Here is it! Bako National Park! I never knew it was so beautiful!

人活着到底为了什么呢?

人活着到底为了什么呢?问题需要答案,可这个答案却是千差万别,我想,人活着就是为了自己心中的那一个世界吧。


就像这只小乌龟,它也有自己的小小世界。




有人说:“人的能力实际上远远超过自己所想象的或相信的”。

其实,天主给与每个人的都恰到好处,关键在于我们如何充分善用他的恩赐,使这种恩赐在我们身上达成圆满。所以,永远都别把自己当着出现在这个世界上是多余的。

梦想


有人说:蒲公英就像梦想,因为它没有翅膀也能飞翔。


我要不断的追求我的梦想,就像在空中飞翔的蒲公英。蒲公英靠着飞翔的能力把种子四处传播,让种子落地生根长出漂亮的蒲公英。

不要说我在做梦,人不就是因为拥有梦想而伟大的吗?

我相信不论哪个梦想是如此的遥远,只要相信你所相信的,活在你的想信中,你就一定会成功.

可是不知道你有和我一样的想法吗?来到大学,总是会有太多的想法,每天都是在匆匆忙忙中度过。看起来是那样的忙碌,可是当自己静下来的时候,却会发现自己也不知道在忙一些什么。自己都找不到自己的方向感。

可是慢慢地我就会发现,这个所谓的适应社会,为自己工作打下基础的口号,其实只不过是一个空气。大学里的那些设施只不过是一种摆设,天天就是在那里浪费时间,真正学到的东西没有。

所以,我给自己的人生设立一个目标,给自己未来一个明确的希望,给自己的生活一个方向灯。有一句老话:吃不穷,喝不穷,没有计划就受穷。那就要按照自己的目标,有计划地做事。计划习惯,就等于计划成功。

希望你是蒲公英,为自己的梦想而奋斗!
