When it gets too tiring

When life gets  too tiring, learn to slow down and relax. Do something that could help you relax.
For me, it is through reading verses from the bible.
And hobbies such as reading and crafting.
Now I have a new place, the library.
Sometimes, we need time to recuperate.

I like to think of nothing at times.
To just let everything go for a while, and move into my safe haven.

Then, I would get up again and start my journey.
Life is filled with so many unpredictable things, we cannot predict everything. So that is why we get tired.
Tired of trying to make everyone happy, but at the end of the day, does anyone care about your feelings?
If no, then you are trying too hard.
Let go and let God handle it.
We are humans, we are not meant to please people.
We are created to please and praise God.

Everything in this life leads to one realisation, the realisation that God is the only One that can fulfill us.
He is the One to go to when we feel tired and hopeless.

I rememberer a saying,
"Life doesn't give us a purpose, we give life a purpose".
It is true. When I started to think like that, everything became clear.
Nothing can harm us if we did not allow it in the first place.
Of course, we cannot avoid deaths and sickness, but the mind plays an important role in how we decide to react to the current situation.
Do we let Life ruin us? Or we give life a new purpose, which is to be happy and grateful for the many blessings that God had given throughout our life?
I have learnt it the hard way.
It took me a long while before I started counting my blessings. All I could think of were the bad things that happened to me. I ignored the blessings and blame Him for giving me a lousy life.
But now, I realised the "bad things" were a blessing in disguise.
Instead of complaining, now I decided to do my best and let the talent that God gave me be put into good use.
Instead of asking "why this happened to me?", now I throw Life a purpose, "I will do my best in my workplace and learn instead of complaining".
My journey is still long so I always need to remind myself that when life gets tiring, I should look back at my past to see how far I have gone and it would be too bad to give up now.

The blue umbrella

I was walking at Kaison in Kuching the other day, when I saw this huge poster.
Immediately I remembered the story.
It was a short clip but it was so sweet.
The mixed emotions of happiness, sadness and frustration were all included.
The title was "the blue umbrella".
About a blue umbrella in search for his " love".
I am suddenly reminded about timing, again.
It's been a long wait.
But I guess seeing this picture gave me hope.
That one day, like the blue umbrella, we will meet.
And even though we would face many hardships ans tribulations, we would always somehow find our way back to each other.

Sandwich time!!!

Just looking through old posts and found these wonderful pictures.
Back in early Jan 2018.
(Currently teaching English Year 5 and there was a topic about making sandwich)
So I thought, why not?
I bought the ingredients and asked them to make it themselves.
They certainly loved it, but the taste of the egg mix was not quite there yet. 😅

(Peeling the egg shells)

Waiting for their turn to make their very own egg sandwich)

(My own egg sandwich) 😁

Teaching is fun when we do things outside of the normal lessons.

They still remember it to this very day and asked for more. But I told them we just have to wait for a perfect opportunity because this is now the Sports and carnival seasons. 

More activities like this soon. 😁😁

Baking time

I always love holidays!!
It is always the time to relax, and do things that I enjoy most!
This holiday, I decided to make chicken pie and egg tarts.

(Chicken pie, mini size)

I just love baking... 😁😁
Simply too many hobbies to keep up with.
Well, it was a well spent holiday at home.

Throwback 2017: KL trip

It was last year that I went on a trip to KL and I really saved a lot of money thanks to the public transports.
I did some research before going there and I am really grateful that I could go to all those places and of course, come back in one piece.

All these are a blessing from God. I dont know when I am going to have the chance to go there again so I am grateful for this trip. Next trip would be a better one!! 

Solo trip can be difficult, especially when taking pictures, but with the help of good people and selfie stick, I think I can survive) 😊 

Crochet rabbit for easter

I have been too busy studying and finally now that I have finished my studies, I can now get back to my hobby of doing crafts.
This Easter season I came up with a rough idea to make an Easter bunny.

(It took me about a week plus to finish it, along with the basket and easter eggs, the dress was made by my mom, sewed, not crochet) 

It is still not too late to wish everyone a Happy Easter!!

Our lord is risen! Halleluiah!! 

Ancient magus bride review

It's been a while since I have watched animes thanks to my heavy workload.

I started watching this anime since last year and have just finished it recently (24 episodes) 

It is better to read the manga before watching the anime since the animation is always shorter. 

But both are really worth reading and watching!!! 

I fell for the main lead(male) character, Elias Ainsworth. His origin is unknown till the end of the anime (with only a few clues such as he was a failed experiment). He does not have emotions, but since he bought Chise at an auction, he learnt a lot about humans and feelings. 

For me I like how sweet they are together. 

He looks scary but once you get to know him, he is different 

(Really love the both of them) 

Chise sold herself at an auction as she had lost the will to live, always thinking that she was the reason her family fell apart and her mother killed herself, she kept blaming herself and ended up selling herself, no longer living, luckily Elias found her first!) 

Her father and little brother just disappeared, living her with her mom. Her mom was also like her, but it wasnt her fault that her mom eventually took her own life) 

(This is the house they live in, really love it. It is like my dream home now. With ample space, fresh air, beautiful flowers, I couldnt ask for more) 

The soundtrack for this anime was just so nice!!

Performed by Junna, the opening theme song entitled "Here" was just so moving and emotional. 

The other songs were also great, but Junna's song was just great. 

I really recommend watching this anime, great characters and great songs. 

Though the anime was quite confusing, such as some of the characters just appeared and then disappeared, I would really like to know more about them or what happened to them after that, but overall it is still a great anime!

Enjoy the show!!
