haikus

last night S and my hubby cracked their brains on what to write for the church's bulletin on discipleship group sharing as the dateline was up.

my hubby decided to write a haiku since it's short and sweet.

S thought it was fun and helped me with mine.

then hubby came up with two more for the kids!

funny!

Feed on the bible,

Roast chicken and fellowship

Burp! My spirit's filled.

Kaif

I cook and they hear.

But still more deliciousness!

We devour the word.

inspiration from lines

this series of pictures were inspired by a free lance photographer friend ivan who took a couple of random pictures with our camera (olympus ep1).

can you spot which two pictures are taken by the professional? :P

some of these images were taken with the iphone.

can you spot which ones were taken by the iphone and which ones were not? heeheehee...

Have a nice weekend!

image via flickr: atypicalart

here are some interesting stuff which i've found this week:

1) an interview with ken leung, a london based freelance designer who helped launch Monocle magazine and until recently served as its art director.

2) take a look at this functioning sculptural piece: the camper bike, built by artist kevin cyr in april 2008! a really cool piece of art! via designboom.com

3) russell peters really made me laugh when i watch this video about women and men even though i think he is poking fun at the women more! he is so so good!

4) if you are wondering how hard it is to keep a marriage, to stay strong in a marriage, to keep the romance going in a marriage, try reading the obamas' marriage! a great insight for me! at least, mine is private!!! :P

ok there, i better go or my hubby is going to go to bed without me!!!

have a restful weekend and do spend time, quality time with your loved ones before it's too late! :P

bye bye weekend...bye bye...

hello dear friends,

how's your weekend? hope it was lovely...

i'm at a loss as to what to post.

but i know that i want to post something...

something meaningful...

i was just surfing the internet, reading various blogs, news and articles...

looking for something meaningful to post...

there are lots of recipes that i could post...

lots of design stuff to post too...

lots of pictures in my iphoto...

there are lots of good articles that tell one how to live life better too...

but nothing like this (days with my father by philip toledano) which i've posted before, speaks most closely to what's in my heart right now...so i'm posting it again...

Lizzie's great grandma, has just passed on...

She is 91 years old.

we are very sad that we have not made more effort to spent more time with her.

we should have spent more time talking to her even though she didn't seem to respond very much due to dementia.

though she often sits in the centre of the living room with family members around her, she seemed lonely, detached and unengaged.

now that she is gone, our hearts are burdened with lots of regrets.

may it be a stern reminder that we ought to treasure our relationships...even when it is very difficult...

we should spend more quality time with our loved ones especially our parents and the other older folks in the family...

life does not go on and on...

one day, God will take it, and we will have to account for it.

F1 photos by Paul-Henri Cahier

Despite the inconvenience (road closure and traffic jams) F1 is going to cause, it did bring about some good, such as this nice photo exhibition sponsored by Total outside Liat tower and wheel lock building, orchard rd.

a minimalist at work

my mister is in the midst of clearing his many books, cds and other stuff.

he is inspired by the simple guide to the minimalist life by leo babauta.

then i found these star wars figurines in the wastepaper basket and had pity on them.

he probably had them since he was a child.

he said he had taken a picture of them.

but i rescued these figurines, cleaned them and took a picture of them again.

can you hear them shouting,

"help! we are still in good shape! is there anyone out there who would like to have us even though we are no longer in our boxes and therefore have no value??!!!"

P.S. when i told my mister that i'm going to write a post on this, he said i shouldn't. but i still did it. so naughty. but i think this is hilarious. he is probably quite embarrassed. ;p
