<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">2014 was all

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">2016 was when
I needed to<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> </span><span style="color: orange;">“Balance”</span><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> </span></b>– an even distribution of weight enabling someone to remain

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">For my 8<sup>th</sup> year, 2017, participating
in <a href="http://aliedwards.com/one-little-word"><b>Ali Edwards #OLW</b></a> movement [don't quite know how to catagorise this}, the word came so easily and naturally to me. In fact,
when I was in Melbourne, Australia walking and browsing alone, I wondered to
what word I would choose for the coming year. And I thought about what I wanted
from the coming year, I wondered what it had in store for me and then the word
came to me<b> <span style="color: orange;">“Thrive”</span></b>. I saw it a few more times in books, on cards, on posters…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">To “Thrive” is to bloom, abound, flourish,
develop, shine, grow, radiate, arrive, succeed, prosper, increase, bear fruit,
get ahead, blossom, boom, progress… Such a rich word with so much meaning and
depth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">So 2017 will be this, a year to <span style="color: orange;">“<b>Thrive</b>”</span>.

To say that life has not changed or that it has changed too much would be a an over-exaggeration. But it has changed some...<br />
<br />
Most importantly I guess would be the fact that I am writing this post in my home, on my bed with <b>B</b> snoring{ok, that't not quite new} and my amazing, bright and funny 26 month old baby bestie/daughter sleeping beside me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago on Friday, 10 December, I was at a Coldplay concert in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, listening to this amazing band play all my fav. songs including Atlas. I am not daydreaming. I have a job that I enjoy and that I am good at and I am thankful for that and I am typing all this on my Asus Transformer tablet which is definitely not RM200. I am also trying my best to make each day memorable and to live life as best as I can.<br />
<br />
Christmas has not come. In fact, it is about 23 hours away. I lament about the passing of time occasionally for the days pass to quickly but I am trying to remember to savour the moment and to be present in everything that I do.<br />
<br />
It is great to note that I do not have many melancholy things to write about and that I have done well in ironing out bits and pieces of my life... and for the most part, have come to accept things that I cannot change, have come to embrace life and new experiences, have come to accept myself and to love myself and the person I have become.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So why finally am I dusting away the cobwebs of this blog and putting my thoughts out there in the open? Well, the thought has been nagging at me for sometime, the need to preserve my thoughts, and no matter if no one reads it... it is solely for me. A place for me to record the things I feel, to capture moments, to express in words what is in my head and in my heart.<br />
<br />
I miss that... writing, blogging... whatever you want to call it.<br />
<br />
I initially wanted to write this in a journal but it would take too long to pen everything down and typing seemed easier and quicker. Plus, I miss this little spot. This little Piece of Heaven.<br />
<br />
The real reason I am up typing this when I could be reading, catching up on my TV series while wrapping Christmas presents is that I had to share the gift I just got from an old friend of mine. <b>PL</b> was back from London for Christmas and she said she would drop by and the next thing you know, we were waist high in conversation about society, the world, our self image and of course updates of our life.<br />
<br />
It was towards the end of the conversation that we touched on God. I shared that I felt that my relationship with Him had kinda slided and how I wanted to rebuild that, make it stronger than it was before. The next thing I knew, she was sharing what I needed to hear and in fact was along the lines of what my cousin had shared with me when I met him in Melbourne two weeks ago before the Coldplay concert.<br />
<br />
Below is a summary of what struck me and brought tears to my eyes, because surely this was Him giving me another reminder, another message to come back to Him... and then I felt it. The stirrings in my heart. The words of the Father gently asking me to speak to Him, to make time for Him. And I am in awe. I had just received one of the best gifts ever. A reminder about the gift of His son. And I felt what can only be described as the spirit of Christmas.<br />
<br />
* Time here on earth as a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, an employee is preparing you for an internal time with Him<br />
* Spending time with Him and building your relationship with Him will enrich your life in every way possible<br />
* Tithing is not all about money. It is about sacrificing your time, the things that you want<br />
<br />
My days have been full and carving time out with Him has been put on the 'To Do' list... and that's where I have been wrong. That is the missing piece. Him. Putting Him first in everything that I do. Spending quality time with Him and listening to His word. Being enriched with His messages to sustain me and give me faith so that I in turn may help and encourage others.<br />
<br />
So I will do my utmost best to do just that. Put Him first. Keep Him close.<br />
<br />
To say that life has not changed or that it has changed too much would be a an over-exaggeration. But the one constant in life has been His grace, His protection and His love which without, I would not be who I am today and I am fearfully and wonderfully made.<br />
<br />
I feel Christmas. HE is Christmas.<br />
He has and always be in my Heart.</div>

To say that life has not changed or that it has changed too much would be a an over-exaggeration. But it has changed some...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most importantly I guess would be the fact that I am writing this post in my new home, in my new room, on my new bed with <b>B</b> snoring beside me {ok, that't not quite new}... but this is new... writing in bed in a new room in a new house... {more on this one day soonish I hope}.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am listening to Coldplay's "Atlas" and am daydreaming in my mind of floating in space, of dancing in the sky, dancing under the stars, catching falling stars, riding on the wings of the wind... something magical, some grand adventure. I am not making much sense I guess but its just a feeling I have... to want to be weightless, to drift with the wind into the sky to play among the stars in the black velveteen night... to escape from the pressures of work, of expectations, of failings, of trying... and I am remembering Angel, Dane and Adam and missing them for some strange reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just been a long few months and I am lamenting the passing of Christmas and the days that seem to end so very quickly without me having done the things I really want to do. I also have been wondering about what I am doing, if what I am doing is really right for me, if I really meant to do the things I am doing now... Perhaps I am being just being morbid and over pensive as I sometimes get but I really wonder if its all worth it... its a vicious cycle. Needing to work to earn to pay for the things you want.... a never ending cycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though this post seems a tad "meh" even melancholy, I have so much to look forward to... its a mixture of joy and of worry and of expecting too much of myself and not handling stress and things well. But I am working on it... trying to iron out the tough bits and be better with work and stuff... and oh the joyful bits... there are so many ideas bubbling away. I am excited and nervous and worried {yes, I tend to worry a wee bit too much}, but I know that I should commit everything to the Lord and go ahead and trust Him that He will guide me on the right paths <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>*smile*</b></span> okay... enough of writing. Am going to do some research on tablets... I fancy getting one for myself, a proper one instead of a RM200 one that sucks <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*snickers*</span></b>... see I do learn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good night. Sweet dreams.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh, there is just so much to be thankful for this Christmas and if I were to list it all down, it would take me hours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Christmas 2013 has come and gone in a blink of an eye and although I am super tired, I just wanted to write a few thoughts down just like I try to do every year, and since I hardly blog these days anyway, I thought it would be good to share about my 31st Christmas </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles smiles*</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This Christmas was slightly different from the past Christmases... the main differences would be that my brother and his family are in the Philippines celebrating with my sister-in-laws family, instead of work slowing down, I was working too much in December {new clients and a shortage of manpower in the office} which made me grumpy and stressed, I didn't my Christmas shopping done in time and most importantly I did not find my Christmas spirit till heaps and heaps later <span style="color: #20124d; font-weight: bold;">*sniff*</span>... ok nothing really new here to be honest - LOLs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Very much like last year, I found my Christmas spirit during Christmas eve mass. Unlike the Christmas spirits of old, this year's Christmas spirit did not really appear when I saw the beautifully decorated church nor did it appear when I heard the angelic voice of the choir singing Christmas carols... sure there were stirrings in my heart {I am after all a super sap!}, but it was not the same.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There was also no BIG bang to announce the arrival of my Christmas spirit. There was also no "ah hah!" moment... rather it was more of a swelling in my heart when the priests {there were four at the mass} talked about how blessed we were to be able to gather together to celebrate Midnight Mass in peace... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">how there were so many people out there suffering; people who lost their homes due to floods or war, people who were starving or who were sick or who were just lonely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The swelling in my heart was one of thankfulness, joy and shame. Shame because in the hustle and bustle of "my life", I had forgotten the very fundamentals of Christmas. I had forgotten to prepare myself for the birth of Jesus. I had forgotten to pray for those who were forgotten, lost, in pain or suffering. Instead, I went on and on about how much work I had, how stressed I was, how I did not have anytime to buy presents and yadayadayada. Reading all this now, I feel ashamed at myself to have allowed these pressures to cloud the joy and peace of the season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But all is not lost. Thank God!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Christmas spirit swelled in my heart and grew and brought tears in my eyes for indeed unto this day, the Christ child is born and he is called Immanuel which means "God with us". It was a gentle reminder that no matter what I did, where I went or which nasty client I had to tackle, I was never alone. God was and will always be with me. That simple reminder was when I felt the Christmas spirit flow and course through me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And joy, the kind you can't buy, filled my heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you God for allowing me that special moment, thank you for the gift of Your Son. Thank you that I am called to be in your fold. Thank you God for all the blessings you have showered upon me and continue to shower upon me. Alleluia! Amen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest of Christmas passed by in a quiet blur. I spent a lot of time with my parents which was lovely. I hardly give them quality time, so spending time with them during Christmas Eve dinner at our very memorable Tram Car restaurant, Christmas lunch at a local coffee shop today, hanging out with them at home, furniture window shopping and then a simple bak kut teh dinner today in Kepong was wonderful indeed and I my mum thanked <b>B</b> and I for spending Christmas with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Belle the beagle was uber cute today too ~ I hope she gets better soon. I also spent time with my bestie Meows and several other friends. We also managed to sell the condo {I also pray that the sale of the house goes smoothly}. Didn't get to spend much time talking to B one on one but he was always beside me or somewhere close by <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles*</span></b> There was also some frantic present wrapping and packing.... and now...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I know... I know... I was supposed to update this Little Piece of Heaven ages ago but really... its getting tougher to juggle everything. And what do I mean by everything? Well, here's a little of what is going on in my life {for the benefit of those kind people who still follow me ~ thank you}...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Work </span></b>~ I recently got promoted {which is awesome} and we have also won some new clients {which is also awesome} but the icky part is that some of my team members are away which means that work has tripled for me. I enjoy being challenged, don't get me wrong, but its hard to do your portion of work and someone else's portion too and still do a good job for both portions! LOL... but thankful I have a good support system consisting of <b>B</b>, my colleagues, my family and my other friends who understand the daunting nature of life in a PR consultancy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/weheartcrafts">Hearts & Crafts</a> </span>~ What started of as a little "let's try something new and see how it goes" has turned into something super awesome. I don't make heaps of money and I hardly join any bazaars these days but I am still getting support and sales which is awesome. I have a lot of ideas {funny how the ideas come when you are uber busy but never when you have nothing much going on} and hope to execute them soon but with work taking precedence these days {until we have all hands on deck again}, this has to take a backseat. However, no mater how big or small my store is, I am happy. This was something I used to daydream about and now here I am, actually doing it <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smile smile*</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Project Love Nest 2.0 </b></span>~ I don't know if I have blogged about this but we are moving. In another 2 months time or thereabouts, I will be nestled in my new home which is just a stones throw away from where I grew up. The house is being renovated and OMG is is a pain to manage contractors and deciding on what needs to be done and how everything is going to look and be transported... GAH! Even thinking about it is giving me the shivers!!! But... the house is gorgeous. I used to wonder how the inside of the house looked like and now we are the proud owners of said house! Will share some before and after pics of the house when things settle down <span style="color: #e06666;">*grin grin*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">Holidays & Occasions</span></b> ~ I missed the Avicci rave about 2 weekends ago and feel a bit bummed about it but I wasn't feeling well and I had the strangest feeling that I should stay at home and so I did. Last weekend was Kelssy's wedding and it was a whole day of merriment and activity. Will be going to celebrate their second wedding celebration up north this weekend ~ can't wait to go for this short road trip. Other then that, my weekends have been filled with shopping for the house stuff, catching up on sleep, tv and shop updates or visiting friends and family. I always feel that there is not enough time in a day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Swaps, Snailmail & Postcrossing</span></b> ~ I just started participating in Postcrossing and Swaps via swapbot this year and it has made me realize how much I miss writing, pen on paper and decorating said letter with stickers, pen and stamps. Have been meeting a lot of new friends via Instagram as well which is great. Hoping to do more swaps and snailmail next year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, that's about all the stuff that is happening in my life apart from my usual I-want-to-craft dilemma, watching and catching up on all my neglected TV series, movies and books and oh gosh, I just remembered I need to pack up and move <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">*shudder*</span></b> this is not going to be pleasant! I really do have a lot of stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to happy things... I recently made my first Black Friday purchase from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> and here is the short story of what happened which I shared on Studio Calico's blog post. I hope they don't I am strange!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">~*~*~*~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so surprised when I saw the Studio Calico box this evening as I was not expecting it for at least another month - what with me living in Malaysia and all... but there it was in its unassuming brown box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I opened the box, I turned on my BoneyM Christmas Carols and slowly cut the tape to reveal the treasures inside and to cut the story short, it was as if Christmas morning had come early for me. You see every day I see these pretty sneak peaks, reveals and items online and I very very seldom get the chance to buy them {no thanks to the awful conversion and shipping rate!} but finally... finally I have my own little magnetic kit box and other goodies which I have previously only been able to "oooo" and "ahhhh" at :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I opened each brown paper bag, drew open each muslin bag and sneaked a peek at the goodness inside, I just kept smiling {like a little looney} and I about half and hour later, I am still smiling. Still happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for this uber long comment but I to share my joy and say thank you to the team for selecting these pretty grab bags and for sending these goodies so quickly. It is my first time participating in a BlackFriday sale and I am so glad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy early Christmas to the Studio Calico team :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">~* ~*~*~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yes... I am still smiling as I type this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Truly Christmas has come early for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a little late and though its a public holiday tomorrow, I need to wind down for the night. Its been a draining two days at work - I a whole month to feel like this though I certainly hope it is not so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will try my utmost best to write again soon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A well styled book case is never easy to achieve.<br />
There are many things to consider, namely the look and feel of your<br />
bookcase the types of items you would like to display and if you are<br />
going to coordinate the display items<br />
i.e. with a certain theme, colour, etc.<br />
<br />
I know I haven't blogged a lot lately at this Little Piece of Heaven<br />
but really, really, much has been happening and one of the biggest<br />
news of the year {no I am not preggers} is that we will be moving in<br />
about two months time <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*woot woot*</span></b><br />
<br />
This time, we don't have to hunt for the right furniture {we managed<br />
to find all the right pieces over a weekend!} but we would<br />
need to do some minor renovations for the new place. At present,<br />
I am going through several quotes and would dearly love for<br />
this whole process to be over to be honest!<br />
<br />
Then there will be the packing <b>*shudder*</b> and<br />
more packing <b>*double shudder*</b><br />
and then the final move and then sadly,<br />
saying goodbye to our little apartment...<br />
the first home that <b>B</b> and I have together. I will miss it heaps...<br />
<br />
Anyways, more on the reno and etc. later on...<br />
there will be plenty of time for that I am sure...<br />
I will leave you now with some inspiring ideas<br />
on styled book cases. Remember though that the<br />
styling has to be entirely about you and not about<br />
whats in and trendy or in fashion at the moment <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles* </span></b><br />
Enjoy these awesome pics. I am surely inspired {plus its been awhile<br />
since I shared any inspiring interiors, right?!}</div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I say to you: Ask, and it <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/joanne-wong/he-provides/10151821203063128#" role="button" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">will</a> be given to you; search, and you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/joanne-wong/he-provides/10151821203063128#" role="button" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">will</a> find; knock, and the door <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/joanne-wong/he-provides/10151821203063128#" role="button" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">will</a> be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/joanne-wong/he-provides/10151821203063128#" role="button" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">will</a> have the door opened." - Luke 11:9-10</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today's Gospel reading at mass {Luke 11:1-13} is a reading that I have read numerous times in many stages of my life and yet, each time I read it or hear it as part of a sermon or a conversation, the message changes for me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I listened to the Priest share his homily this morning, I am reminded yet again that God provides and really, how amazing is it that this message comes to me two weeks in a row {last week a lady offered me two candles to light and so very randomly told me that God provides}. Surely God must be telling me, "Hi JW, I got this. Trust in me. I will provide. All you need to do is ask." </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It it foolish to think that all I want is going to miraculously appear on my doorstep tomorrow and I know that a lot of my prayers may go unanswered, but what the Priest shared rings true to my dulled ears that needed a reminder... that sometimes God answers your prayers in ways that you do not expect and that He always provides you what you need, when you need it. And how true that is. I with my human eyes and my limited understanding cannot fathom the design and work of His hands... His plan for me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I paused for awhile today and took a quick glimpse through my life... at all my wants that have been rejected, all the disappointments faced and all the trials endured and I realized that these things have only built me up, made me stronger, made me more compassionate, made me see things with new eyes and above all to realize yet again how infinitely blessed I am. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thank God that I have such strong support from my family, from my husband and best friend, from my two sisters of my heart, from my friends and even my colleagues. I thank God that I have the ability to make people laugh and put a smile on their faces. To be a part of a team. To be part of a loving and large family. To own a small happy business {who would have thought!}. To have traveled. To have a roof over my head and comfortable bed to sleep in at night. To have so many wonderful moments in life. To have loved. To really just be just me with all my flaws and good bits. How we take all this for granted sometimes...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...and oh, how happy and infinitely blessed I am.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I ask of you today dear God, for blessings on those around me, that their burdens lessen, that their health increases, that they have more smiles and less tears, that their hearts be at peace, that they be given their daily bread, that they find people to love them as they should be loved, that they are kept warm, that they have shelter, that they have a hat to hold, that they receive hugs when they are down, that they always have someone to listen to them and care for them, that their journey in life be filled with wonderful memories, that they find joy in their lives and that the empty void in their lives be filled with Your peace and love. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...and oh what peace and love it is. What a friend we have in you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for providing me all that I need and so much more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh how happy and infinitely blessed I am.</span><br />

<br />
Not everyone believes in settling quarrels or forgiving someone before they close their eyes and sleep. But for me, I hate going to sleep angry or upset or hurt, basically in a negative mood. My heart usually feels heavy and I need to write or just get this feeling out of me and then only will I be able to fall asleep.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the biggest reason why I want to sort things out before I sleep is that I would like to not leave words unsaid or to wake up to a day when things start off on the wrong foot because you are still holding a grudge, a hurt or words left unspoken because what if tomorrow never came?<br />
<br />
Too many a time have people left without saying the words "I am sorry" or "I love you". How tragic to be one of those people. Hence why my need to settle these things before I sleep. In my world I strive to live each day with a ribbon tied round it so that in the event that I am chosen to return to God, I would have done everything I could possibly do. I still fall short, but I am trying. Life is too fragile.<br />
<br />
So when I have to leave this earth or if one day I am no longer around to write or to type, or speak, know that I am sorry for the things I say that sometimes hurt or anger you, also know that I am aware of the many sacrifices you make for me and know that above all, I love you <b>B</b>.<br />
<br />
Know that though we have our disagreements and different viewpoints, at the end of the day we are an awesome twosome and I know you love me too. Our lives will never be complete without the other half and like all those epic romance novels, tv shows and movies, we will always find each other wherever we will be in the world beyond as our lives and souls are eternally entwined.<br />
<br />
Love yous booyah.<br />
<br />
XOXO,<br />
DW<br />
<br />
Update: I know that truth now about what happened and I feel foolish for believing you and trusting you. I feel stupid for being naive in thinking that people can change. I feel angry most of all for thinking that I was in the wrong, that I was the paranoid crazed one. And now, I find out that I wasn't wrong and learn how fast a small seemingly insignificant lie can turn into something so very ugly. Also, you should really be an actor for the lovely show you put on.<br />
<br />
After all that is being said above, I know this is just a blip in the radar of our marriage and that I will get over it. What I also know is that the trust barometer has gone down and lastly, what I know on this dull grey morning is that its better to know then not to know and that I need to not only harden myself but learn how to stop being so naive, for leopards never truly change their spots, they sometimes just hide it under layers of fur.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A blur. That's how I would describe these last few weeks and months. The days do blend into another that at times I forget days and weeks and mix up things...or perhaps its my memory acting up on me! Regardless if it is my poor memory or time just moving unnaturally fast for my liking, I am just trying to be on top of things at work, for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/weheartcrafts">Hearts & Crafts </a>and watching my TV series and reading my books {I know, I know, that shouldn't be on the list but it is!}. I find myself giving attention to work and then I neglect either my hobbies or Hearts & Crafts <b>*sniff sniff*</b> I do pray that I had more time a day or more like I have the will to follow through whatever plans I have made for the day - 'cos sometimes I get distracted with things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, so many plans are being made, so many new activities at the office all of a sudden, and there also some changes in my life. So many things I would like to write down, so many things I would like to share... but time, oh time and procrastination and unfriendly blogger - all working against me and yes, I do also work against myself sometimes <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*snickers* </span></b>Well just wanted to write a quick post to let whoever still reads this blog know that everything is okay and that I am alive and kicking {or zumba-ing! - am trying this}.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till the next time I write. Oh how I miss you my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Little Piece of Heaven</span> ~ my place of interweb comfort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Most of it has come off though there is a ring of dark blue around my nail that refuses to budge, but I will leave it there as a reminder of today. For today, the 5th of May 2013, was a day that the people came together to vote for change in our country Malaysia through our 13th General Election (13GE). Today is also the day that I write about my thoughts about my country and the 13GE on this Little Piece of Happy Heaven because this is important for me and I want to remember this feeling.<br />
<br />
I have never been keen on politics, indeed I am ashamed to say that I did not vote in the last election nor bothered to know the names of the ministers and the goings on in parliament and such mainly because I grew up in a my own world one which consisted on a diet of happy ever afters, happiness and trivial things. But over the past few years since the last election, that little world I had so carefully constructed around myself started chipping away and I was confronted with dirty politics, dishonesty, corruption, nepotism and the like. I always thought that my vote wouldn't matter... after all what is one vote. I stand corrected. My one vote does count. My voice does matter.<br />
<br />
In the weeks and days leading up to the 13GE, it seemed that more people began to realise that their voice mattered too and this was evident when we saw the masses congregate at rallies and those come out to vote. They started voting at dawn, some came later and stood in the morning sun and then there were those that braved the rain in the afternoon to cast their vote. Then there were some who hunted those phantom voters and who fought for clean elections.<br />
<br />
For me, I stood in the park near my childhood home in the sunlight and surrounded by so many of my high school friends and neighbours. All of us came back to 'hood' to cast our vote to be heard and my heart soared just like it did when I attended a gathering by the opposition and heard them speak and saw people of all races and religions and educational background come together sharing umbrellas in the evening rain and all eager to see change happen. "Inikalilah!" "Ubah". This is the time! Change!<br />
<br />
And now hours after voting, many Malaysians sit glued to their tvs, ipads, phones and computers getting live feed of the fate of our nation. Sadly, the opposition doesn't seem to be having a lead though there are many seats that have been won and defended. I can't help but feel sick when I read about the phantom voters, the strange ballot boxes that appeared from Heaven only knows where, and the sinking realisation that we may very well be stuck with a government that we do not want.<br />
<br />
My heart is heavy as are the hearts of so many in our city and surrounding areas. The final figures have yet to be tallied and I have yet to switch on the telly for the latest updates but whatever it is, we have changed our profile and cover pictures to black because it is black night for us - blackout!<br />
<br />
Yet in the midst of our sorrow over what I feel is the lost of our country {and I can feel the sorrow of the opposition and volunteers who worked so hard}, I choose to believe that God has a plan for all of us, for our dear country Malaysia regardless of who wins. Indeed He has opened my eyes to see the unity that can and HAS happened when we believe in a cause and stand up together. Let us all try our best not to loose heart over what has happened but to see how best we can help in shaping our nation. Out of despair will rise a new people, new voices, new visions. We are hungry for justice, we are hungry for fairness and transparency, we are hungry for a true 1 Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Merdeka for our country? I don't think Malaysian's truly understand what it is like to be free. Perhaps one day we will all know what it truly means and will be able to taste that sweetness of a true Merdeka, a true Independence, true freedom.<br />

However, I thought I would try something new this time round</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Escada's Cherry in the Air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yes I know this post has been a long time coming... So finally, after thinking about a few words for my One Little Word {OLW} for 2013 and my 31st year {with "live" being a close contender}, I have selected the word... <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*drumroll*</span></b>... "Create". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDHeHaqfD_00eW_VUuZE5bbOSqg767Nme5QUDEvhU4GQdV6E8M_iJ2CpyA6qjY1ockUIMPJYy0xjwvzLzmio3spddqTb_ILyTq9UAdvKnWP_gr5641zXeP27LFF-DQQ8gfaxECRA/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDHeHaqfD_00eW_VUuZE5bbOSqg767Nme5QUDEvhU4GQdV6E8M_iJ2CpyA6qjY1ockUIMPJYy0xjwvzLzmio3spddqTb_ILyTq9UAdvKnWP_gr5641zXeP27LFF-DQQ8gfaxECRA/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Create</b></span> is quite a common word and I know that many people have used it in previous years but to me it is not a deterrent Besides, OLW is not a contest to pick the most unique word and we don't really have to compare your OLW with others because the selection of that OLW is so special to each and every person. All of us have different experiences and are in different stages of life with varying wants, viewpoints and goals. So what made me decide on the word Create?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For one, I realised that I needed to concentrate more on a number of things and in some ways, they involved the word create. Here are some examples of how I shall see my OLW coming into play this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Creating Memories</span></b> ~ How can the word create not feature prominently when memories are concerned? I plan to create more good memories, not only ones that I store in my mind but also memories that can be taken out on days when it is needed - think photographs, mini albums, scrapbooking and etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Creating a Business</span></b> ~ I have already started <a href="http://www.facebook.com/weheartcrafts">Hearts & Craft</a>s for about 10 months and it has been developing steadily but not has fast as I would like it to. I am setting myself some business goals for the year in the hopes that this keeps me disciplined to manage my business {however little it is} in a more organised manner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Creating a Home</span></b> ~ I would love to create a nicer more comfortable home for myself and <b>B</b>. I want to really work on Project Love Nest and organised, colour coordinate and pretty up my home. There are so many interior design ideas {just look at my previous posts and <a href="http://pinterest.com/dream_weaver/">pinterest boards</a>} whirling around in my mind and I can't wait to try some of them. And since we are maybe getting a new home, I can't wait to decorate it and possibly have a nook for my craft stuff <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles smiles*</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Creating a Improved DW</span></b> ~ I love myself. Every part of myself for that matter but I have noticed bits that need some work. Be it physically, mentally or emotionally, I am going to improve. One of my main goals would be to be much better manager and to really try and do the best I can at work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Creating Handmade </b></span>~ I have started making things again. Slowly but surely {me and my baby steps}. I have some projects up my sleeve and quite a number of ideas are already taking shape so its more of a 'lets get the party started' kind of thing and off we go creating! This year, I will create more handmade things. Things that I can proudly say I made <span style="color: #e06666; font-weight: bold;">*smiles* </span><span style="color: #444444;">I have also started to join some card swaps which will be fun to do and I am always participating in <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/">Post Crossing</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course I am sure there will be more opportunities or things that I can tag the word 'create' to such as creating a family {God willing when we are ready}, create ways to help others who are less fortunate, creating new and lasting friendships and creating new adventures of the awesome variety. I hope you enjoyed reading about my <a href="http://piecesofheaven.blogspot.com/2011/12/end-2011-begin-2012.html">OLW for 2012</a> and my 30th year 'explore' and my new OLW 'create'. Here's to creating a wonderful and memorable 2013 and 31st year!!! <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles smiles grin grin* </span></b></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">Heyya all! The last craft market I participated in, the FUYOH Art Bazaar at Publika, was a success even though the traffic was slow as people were away. I met many wonderful new friends and so many friends came by to say "hello" and show their support and I felt so blessed to have the support from so many people for this little pet project of mine, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/weheartcrafts">Hearts & Crafts</a> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>*smiles* </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">Now two weeks after the FUYOH Art Bazaar, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/weheartcrafts">Hearts & Crafts</a> will be participating in another bazaar, the Supplies Surprise Bazaar #9 which will be held this Saturday, 13 April 2013 from 12pm-7pm </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles smiles*</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">This will be my first time at the bazaar and I am a little nervous to say the least. Butterflies are a plenty in my belly but part of the reason why I started Hearts & Crafts was not only to make some profits but to make new friends who are into arts and crafts and who can inspire me and craft with me </span><b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles*</span></b><span style="color: #666666;"> so in that sense I guess I am not so nervous </span><span style="color: #e06666; font-weight: bold;">*laughs* </span><span style="color: #666666;">So far I have made a couple of craft friends and participated in some craft swaps {will blog about that more} and its been lovely. I enjoy talking to my friends about new techniques or about the various products available or just chatting about what we want to try and make and etc. </span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">I digress... So anyways, I will be at Supplies Surprise Bazaar #9 at B-Free studio and I will be selling my full range of crafts supplies such as my happy washi tape {but of course}, patterned paper straws, stickers, embellishments, post-its, specially designed posters and bookmarks and more. Don't you just love the poster that they created for promotional purposes? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love what Pope Francis shared during the Easter vigil service in St. Peter's: Do not to be afraid of God’s surprises, never lose confidence during the trials and tribulations of daily life, and, if you strayed, do let God back into your lives... be confident that God is close to you, that He is with you and He will give you the peace you are looking for and the strength to live as He would have you do.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This words of encouragement and hope resonates within me as does the works of this new Pope. To be honest, I a born Catholic never really connected with a Pope until now. Since he was elected as the new Pope, Pope Francis' words and deeds have struck a chord within me. I pray that he will be strong enough to overcome the forces of darkness and the many obstacles that is the world and that surrounds the Catholic church. For once I earnestly pray that he will have the wisdom, the discernment and the courage to do what is needed. I pray that the world will come to know our religion as a religion of peace and forgiveness and not one that is marred by scandal. I pray for his health and his way, that it be lit by God's goodness and grace.</span></span></div>

I have seen Kinfolk magazine on several blogs and it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has been lauded as an inspiring magazine with gorgeous</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
photos. Having never laid eyes on it in Malaysia, I was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pleasantly surprised to see it on a Malaysian website and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
immediately {ok, after a few minutes of deliberating}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decided to just buy a copy of Kinfolk Magazine vol.7</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which is an Ode to Ice Cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who am I kidding, with a theme like that, I was a goner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The website for Kinfolk say that this issue is "..a celebration</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the spring season, focusing on those shared loves that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
brings us together: the enjoyment of food, friends, family,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and time spent in community whether around the table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or out-of-doors." I can't wait to get my copy which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
will hopefully be soon-ish <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles smiles*</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I suddenly have the urge of ice cream <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*noms*</span></b></div>

Today's an <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>awesome day.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a simple day filled with so<br />
many things to be grateful for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I had an easy day at work today with no moaning<br />
clients or bosses but instead had good and fun chats with <br />
several of my colleagues. The food today was also delicious<br />
especially the lovely dark chocolate covered biscuits and<br />
lemon almond biscuits that I bought from Ben's Independent<br />
Grocer. Then there was the decent-ish traffic on the way home,<br />
a free ride from my dad, a photobook I compiled arrived in the<br />
mail, the chance for me to see my brother before he<br />
leaves for his trip overseas, a glimpse and a little pet for a cute<br />
hamster, time spent playing with my doggy Belle, a lovely dinner<br />
with my parents and <b>B</b> and then coming home to my lovely<br />
small, cluttered house that smells so lovely and finding out that<br />
the books I have been waiting for {and wanting} have arrived.<br />
Oh the sweet joy of having a simple awesome day.<br />
<br />
Thank you <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">God </span></b>for so many blessings.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">P.S:</span></b> Sorry for the lack of posts and the cobwebs that<br />
have gathered in this Little Piece of Heaven.<br />
More updates soon, I promise <b><span style="color: #e06666;">*smiles* </span></b><br />
