Feeling tortured?

Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper...
Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper...
Like a skyscraper.

Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper, Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper...
Like a skyscraper.

God makes no mistakes

I believe that God makes no mistakes. And I find it more true every day when I work with the little kids that I do.
Today I went on a school visit to see a little girl. During the visit I saw the most beautiful boy. He had was holding hands with one of the teachers. He had a huge smile and was so affectionate and cute. And he had Down Syndrome.
It reaffirms to me that God makes no mistakes. And He doesn't make mistakes when He makes children with Down Syndrome or Autism or anything else. Each person is specially made by the Creator. Lovingly crafted and given their own special characteristics.
I feel blessed to have the job that I do :)

Tuesday's Karate Kid

After having a chat with a friend over how cute the picture of "Titanic's" rabbit and bear, I found another one. This time Karate Kid. Hehe. Happy Tuesday!

Hope you went to prayer meeting tonight :)

You can have me.

If I saw you on the street,
and you said "Come and follow me".
But I had to give up everything,
all I once held dear and all of my dreams.
Would I love you enough to let go?
Or would my love run dry when you asked for my life?

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me.
Father of Love you can have me,
you can have me.

If you're all you claim to be,
then I'm not losing anything.
And I would crawl upon my knees,
Just to know the joy of suffering.
I will love you enough to let go,
Lord, I'll give you my life.
I'll give you my life.

Happy Snap

This weekend was super hectic but exciting. Lots of birthdays (more on that later).
Anyways here is a picture I had to share. Too much cuteness for myself to contain. Hope it helps you to have a happy Monday :)

Happy snaps :)

Food snap

Waffle-goodness :)

Snap of tonight's dessert. 

Unfortunately dinner didn't look so appetising in photo.

We were going to order bananas with it (oh, I love bananas) but you had to add an extra $4 =_=. 

No thanks, I'll rather buy my own $4 banana (which is pretty much how much they cost now).

Waffle + 'Only Banana' and 'Choc Chip Cookie Dough'

Nail-tastic

Here is a preview of a few of the nail art decos my Aunty bought for me.
After having a manicure that included sticking on of nail decorations, I quickly saw that I could easily have done the same thing as the girl doing it - well the sticking of art decos that is.
I will probably give some away as it seems I have too many and only one set of fingernails. Thanks Aunty and my cousin who brought it over for me to Australia. Unfortunately Australia has only a limited (ugly) selection and at $$$.

Cost: RM3.8 each = ~AU$1.20

Btw, you know those days after work/Uni that you're so exhausted after dinner you just fall asleep on your bed and wake up hours later? That's pretty much my day today. Ok back to sleep zzz. Good night :)

If I lived in a gingerbread house

I love watching people cook. That's why I love MKR and Masterchef!
Unfortunately I have no talent of that myself :(
I now have a quite extensive cooking vocabulary though thanks to cooking shows!
Here was my favourite challenge -
The Adriano Zumbo GINGERBREAD HOUSE aka House of Horrors!
It is amazing and very very very difficult to make. The effort and skill is ridiculous! I was so excited to see it...unfortunately the contestants didn't really make it well.
But anyways here's the master's original!

Another of my favourites was the cute "Snow man" by that top Danish chef whose name escapes me. And here I was thinking that Heston Blumenthal would be on Masterchef again *sighs*. Nevertheless it's so cute!! Now that's edible art :)

Good morning! Hello Traffic

A snippet into my lovely Monday mornings (and every other working day I should say).
Freeway congestion at peak hour.

However, I quite enjoy my stop-start ride to the city.
I guess it's the only time I'm quite still and have alone time. Just me and my mp3 :)
Also it's a nice way to start each morning listening to songs and sermons. I've attempted praying as well throughout the drive, but sometimes get distracted by trying to switch lanes ^.^
It's just a good time to reflect, talk to God, focus and listen. Which I try to do most days, though other days I feel like I'm on autopilot and somehow reach my destination by God's Grace!

Being freeway savvy I've figured out how to bypass many of the cars in traffic, which lanes go the fastest, when to stay in a merge and when to quickly zip to the next lane.
I would tell you, but then you'll know my secret, and clog up my lanes :)

traffic-jam

Have a nice Monday!

Tottering around in...

As fickle as it is, here are the shoes I wore today. First time these kicks saw sunlight. That's all :) 

Black ruffle and silver sparkly beads plus a kitten heel with silver trim

Bookworms

Yesterday I went with Dad to Koorong after looking at the latest catalogue sometime last week. I noticed that they were introducing 6 new A.W. Tozer reprints. 

I really wanted to get my hands on 'The Price of Neglect'. 

Blurb: Tozer examines the price of following trends instead of God's Word. What about secularism, carnal worship and lifestyles identical with those of the world? Are these things the price that has been paid for following trends instead of God's Word?

I thought it would be a good book to read for myself and also to send to one of my cousins. 

Unfortunately the store didn't hold it so I will have to go to the website and get it. 

I did manage to pick up another one instead. 

Especially since starting working life, I've often found it very easy to be a part of the world and not stand out enough for Christ. 

This is my official attempt to get back on track with reading more spiritual books.

Sensitive Skin

When I was in my teens I could use anything pretty much on my skin and it would be ok. Over the past year or so I've developed quite sensitive skin that reacts badly to a lot of skincare brands. This has made me determined to keep my skincare as natural and basic as possible.

Walking in the shops today I went to Lush. After speaking to the sales assistant (who was extremely helpful) and trialling masks, I finally decided on the BB Seaweed Mask. It smells really good, is hand made with natural ingredients and they don't add any preservatives or nasties. Can't wait to use it. The only problem is that it's slightly costly since it expires in a few weeks and must be kept in the fridge.

Dear John [insert OPI instead]

Dear OPI,
I love your nail polish. But I wish your glass bottles were not so easily broken. So that when they get into the mitts of the slippery-handed (namely, me) they would not fall and shatter on the tiled floor of David Jones. I also wish you were cheaper too...
From, Me.

Colours: 'Tainly Look Marvelous' and the famous 'My Private Jet'

For the record, I do not like Katy Perry at all.
But I do love these colours...colours as stated on the photo.

Jar of Random

And here is my attempt (once again) to start writing. Let's see how it goes. And for the record, I don't think this is going to be particularly interesting. But hopefully it will leave me with a few memories and moments in time...and some megabytes on the internet.
