Comm[u]nicat[i]on


I'm not the most observant girl you'll meet but there are certain things which I notice

Some of the observations that I have happens to be when I'm out.

Cafes, restaurants, coffee shops.

When I look around me, I see tables of couples having a meal together, families eating together, friends having a cup of coffee, and some are eating alone.

And nope, I don't observe the food they eat if you're wondering.

I observe the people.

And it saddens me sometimes when I see family members sitting together on that one same table
where everyone is so near yet so far apart.

What do I mean?

When everyone is in their own world, where the only faces they see is the ones on their phone screen instead of the ones right in front of them.

Sometimes, I wonder if we have actually forgotten that some of them came all the way just to see us and not the back of our phones.


I wonder if we have actually forgotten the meaning of communication

Where there is an "I" and "U" in the word communication

Where communication has always and is a two way thing.

I don't blame the existence of devices, they have helped us in so many ways.

Thanks to technology, we don't have to wait for days and weeks just to get another reply from someone.

But if technology is the only way to communication,  I think something isn't right.

Keep Fighting.



You only know how strong you really are when life gets tough.

When unexpected things come your way and you have no choice but to do something about it.

You wished that you weren't involved in it but not involving yourself in it won't be something you wish either.

When you feel tired and weary and you feel like breaking down.

You decide whether or not to stay strong or lose the battle.











When I feel discouraged, I remind myself of others that are facing even harder battles in life.

Kay Elle.



So this weekend went by really fast and I definitely enjoyed every bit of it. 

Well I was asked to take pictures for Dreamcatcher, a technical training company at their KL branch.

This was an interesting experience for me personally because its basically a planned out shoot where I tell them what pose I want from them etc. 

Smth different from all the usual experiences where I basically follow the plan and capture whatever there is. 


This means more editing work for me :)

Later at night, me and leroy followed Euodia and Nic to their condominium. 
The place left me in awe, I'm not even kidding.

This picture below really doesn't do any justice but man, the condo is off dah hooook!

Oh, we went over to use the gym. 
When you have good and new facilities in the gym plus a view overlooking the pool, it gives you more motivation to run more :)


Right after a good sweat out, we went for out for a late late dinner.  Haha.

Fish and chips! *slurps.

So there's this place in Bangsar that is famous for their breakfast and brunch.
The very first time I was introduced to this placed by my sister and Nic, i loved it already. 

Mmhmm, antipodean :)

And that was the last time I was there, about a year ago, (same story like the Wan Tan Mee)
So yeahhh. It was leroy's first time trying this place out. 




For me, any breakfast that has eggs makes it even yummier, I love love love eggs. 

Good breakfast and wonderful company = Great kick start for the day!


Before I end this post, I wanna thank this person...




*points below










This guy here is one amazing guy :)

With very little sleep, he drove to and back from kl. 
Even with his eyebags and casual yawns, he says that he "isn't tired". Must be the red bull. Hahah

Thank you, mr tan :)

Not only for the long hours drive, but also for making sure that you carry my things even when I tell you that I can carry them all on my own, accompanying me patiently while I shop for girls stuff and for being a great boyfriend :)



Yuh Duh Best! :)


This trip was a good one despite the limited time we had. 

While we were both on our way to KL, he was feeling worried about a certain work issue and I was feeling a little nervous because of the photoshoot, and I told myself to pray for the both of us when we reached the office.

But somehow, adrenaline rush kicked in and all, I forgot.


After we finished our work, when we got into the car, he shared about how he felt the need to pray more especially when things go rough (example : work) rather than using our human strength and fixing it.

Thats the thing about humans :) when we think we know it all, that's actually when we don't. 

And I felt that it was a strong reminder even for myself. To seek Him first in everything I do.

Even if its a short prayer before you do something, it can make a difference :)


My next update will be on my family photoshoot which I will share with you guys soon. Take care!
