I absolutely love. . . .

Posted in all things beautiful, Inspiring, Random but yet significant, the things i think of before i sleep on May 7, 2011 by jiunnli

1. Solitude sol·i·tude/ˈsäləˌt(y)o͞od/

The state or situation of being alone.

We are in a fastmoving world, where it is almost difficult to find time for yourself. I sometimes see solitude as a luxury.  It is among the weirdest feelings one can experience. Bitter sweet I called it and I absolutely love it.

The best part of being alone is that, well. . . .you are alone. You allow your mind to wander into the impossible, you hold on to your favourite book and read for hours, you take off your shoes and walk in the rain or even just spending quiet moments with God. We can be in awe of the beauty of the living world He has created for us.  How can one not appreciate their time alone? Go on, try for yourself =)

2. Cupcakes plural of cup·cake

I wish I could bake. Well, I can bake, but wait, I don’t think I can. A standard cupcake uses the same basic ingredients as standard-sized cakes such as butter, eggs, sugar and flour. Add abit of colour, a touch of your favourite flavour, a hint of joy and all things nice and all your sorrows will seem so far away. It is the little things that content me. Or least I want to be.  Give me a cupcake, you will know that you have added some sunshine into my day =)

My all time favourite? Red velvet cupcakes =)

3. Shop·ping/ˈSHäpiNG/

Shopping is one of my greatest pleasure and they never fail to cheer me up! Its the smell of the malls and how all the pretty things are laid on the shelf. Its that feeling you get when the lady pass you your shopping bag, gosh, it is so exciting. Each time after shopping I also enjoy thinking about the combination of the clothes I bought with the ones I’ve already got and how it would go with this and that and and and . . .  I can’t resist pretty dresses and shoes!

You know what absolutely works for me? Shopping retailing.  Doesn’t matter what and where, so long there is bargain… even better =)

4. Travelling present participle of trav·el /ˈtræv əl/ Show Spelled [trav-uh l]

I absolutely LOVE to fly. Traveling to someplace I’ve not been before is one of my favorite things to do though I am not exactly adventurous, as some of friends who has traveled with me before would claim. I love the airport and the planes. I absolutely love the feeling of stepping off the plane. I don’t know. All I could feel is freedom and the excitement, as you begin to wander where your feet takes you.

Furthest I’ve traveled was Australia. I am not surprised if I said thats my favourite place to be. Hoping to go to the States so that I can do what the things I love doing in no. 3 &5. I do think I would wanna do England one winter. Who wants a white christmas?I know I do!  Oh oh, not forgetting Italy- the vatican city, the Colosseum, the Trevi fountain where I am dying to throw a coin to make a wish, more museums, galleries, the historical buildings, theater, music, great restaurants, streets fun to roam. AAaaaaah! STOP!

So, where would you like to travel to next? Go see the world, don’t limit yourself. No matter how many places you have been in this world, you’ll find another and another and another still waiting to be explored.

5. Photography pho·tog·ra·phy/fəˈtägrəfē/

Don’t know much about editing and all the terms used in photography. I don’t know which angle gives the most light, or what aperture means. I don’t know which lens does what, and all I know I just wanna click away, taking photos of details, people, life, memories, creation and all the beauty I can possibly capture in my camera.

6. Dancing present participle of dance

I am naturally not a dancer. In my childhood, I took up music lessons. I play the piano. Mum gave us the best by sending us to the best piano teacher in the state. She did not see dance as how my sis and I see it. However, we were still very much blessed as it was equally amazing plus music is very closely tied to dancing. It was only recently that I took up dancing and why I love dancing? You learn to love your body and feel good about yourself. It sure is another form of therapy for you girls out there=)

7. Seven is a perfect number no?

How can I enjoy all these without my friend and loved ones, who stood by you through rain and shine.They are the reason why we go through life each day=)

So tell me, whats are the 7 things you absolutely love?

What is on my mind?

Posted in the things i think of before i sleep on August 13, 2009 by jiunnli

Blergh! its 12.18 am already! Tutorial work is piling up, lectures are getting tougher, time is running out. . .alot of stress and yes, we cannot afford to be lazy anymore bla bla bla. . .but here i am, rolling on the bed, letting all these thoughts fill my brain. Thanks debbie for checking on me. I can sleep now, as usual but thats also because i was dead tired after uni and all. I make sure i get really tired in the day time so i can knock myself out when i finally retire to the night. I feel really sorry for those who have insomnia. Gosh, its worst than being dead sometimes. Eve and Bee, its so nice to have you guys meet after so long. Both of you are so special and significant in my life that i am really glad today’s meeting worked out great! Found out something really really disturbing during lecture this evening. Try not to think of it too much because its probably just a hunch, but even if its true, that just prove that i am really good in observing. Oh jeremy and eve finally met! that buaya ar. . .Jen ric, i think we talked too much during lecture just now. Sir George probably noticed. Oh my friend Karming finally dumped Jenn. College has been great if none mention about assignments and datelines and the latest ‘joke’ that have been going around. Have been taking alot photos to fill up my Uni album. The more photos you take, the faster the time passes and at the end of the 3 years, you’ll look back and see that you’ve lived your uni years well. heehee! thats what i feel la. Yes, the Ian calls for a meeting next wednesday.  He needs to meet with the club member. Its been too long =P. My first resume is on its way. Not easy to come up with one when you dont really have much to write. Sad but true.  Also, i need to list down the company that i want to do my internship. Need to pray for a suitable place. I have a few on my mind now but not sure if they need interns. Been organizing my expenditure on excel sheet. Need to budget alil if i want my bag, my trip and finally, my conscience.  Oh yeah, forgot to do my research on places to eat. Friends are going to be in KL next week and i have no idea what to do. I don’t even know if i get to meet them. I really love this song from this bollywood movie, Kabhi Alvida Naa kehna. I will probably post up the link here or on FB sometime soon. Its a good movie but i still prefer the other two. I think this song has been on ‘repeat’ since an hour ago.Very excited for my sis. I’m going to be an aunty!!!. . . again! 2.5 weeks. Must pray for save delivery. Not sure if i am up for the finance challenge now that the dateline has been postponed to next monday. I need to pray for wisdom and i need a topic asap!sigh. . .unnecessary stress. What should i do this weekend? i got a feeling its going to be real boring. Argh, let tomorrow worry by itself. Can’t wait to meet with my fellow dancers tomorrow. I am glad i get to relaxed through dancing. Wondering hows jovy doing. Its 12. 25 already. first class at 10, phew! I really like my floral topshop top. Its so sweet! Hmmm, which reminds me, i need to spring-clean my closet! shopping makes me happy but i need learn to control and learn how to budget. I have alot of things i never put on before. I must consider the bag i’ve been wanting and the trip i’ve been dreaming off. Thank You, Lord for the peace that surpasses all understanding. Its not easy but i am going to push myself and drag myself out of my comfort zone. I will be still and know you are God.  Lesson learned. Thank You also for reminding me of my dreams. I may have forgotten them or gave up on them but You kept them close to your heart. I love You.
