Happy 2010

Since i'll be celebrating my new year on a bumpy ride to cameron, here's wishing everyone a very happy 2010!

Some pics to share that were taken yesterday at botanic garden. Thankfully, Mich had a whole packet of fish food to lure the fishes (including ugly catfishes) and swans and pigeons to come into the picture.

I've been listening to this band called 'mama!milk' recently and their music is a fusion of jazz and swing, love how they put the contrabass, accordion, flute and everything together, just simply gorgeous. And the last piece is by one of the members, it's so whimsical!

最近喜欢这支叫'mama!milk' 的组合，他们将手风琴、低音大提琴、笛子等乐器结合在一起，有冲突性的惊喜，又带点jazz的随性、慵懒和浪漫。

Sew Good

It all started with a japanese magazine that i bought from book fest...

It teaches you how to make zakka stuffs and sew muji-like clothes....

Even pajamas for kids.

And with much annoyance (kept nagging i wanted to sew), mum finally took out this decade-old sewing machine that laid sleeping in our storeroom for five years. Sis was around to help threading, doing the bobbin case and all.


Miraculously, this fellow works well with occasional glitches here and there that risk the lives of my fingers.

Btw, he is my new lover for now. I'm practically at home most of the time sewing... and sewing :)

So here's our first baby, a pouch !!!! (ok sounds wrong heh!)

More pouches for friends :D

Merry Christmas, Everyone :)

每一次听这首曲子总是会鸡皮疙瘩。
Not trying to be moody in this festive season, but i simply looooovveeee this song.

Two Songs

I wish i was there when the butterflies came falling down.




While this song keeps ringing in my head.

When days were much more simpler

我们都很渺小

第一次与这么多小朋友相处，还住在一起十天。

结束了camp以后，难免有种空虚感。

今天早上醒来，没有听到乒乓球弹跳的声响、没有听到在走廊上跑动的声音，也没有听到小朋友们单纯爽朗的笑声…… 怎么都觉得怪怪的。

这十天来，我都在一个camp （名为kem kawan kawan）里头帮忙。里头的小孩多半来自不幸的家庭，而当中也聚集了来自不同国家的小孩，一同筹备为一个音乐会呈现演出。他们没有任何的音乐或舞蹈基础，但在导师的指导下，认真地学习，终于在12月8日当天呈现了完美的表演。

这些孩子一开始互不相识，到后来一起玩闹，最后流下别离不舍的流水。我们看在眼里，有说不出的触动。

如果你觉得自己得到的比付出的还多，也许是时候，去帮助更多需要你的人。到时候，生命的中心不仅仅是自我，而是更多更多人，让我们变得渺小，才能看到人性的伟大。
