Our dear friend Charis got hitched last April and she's been blogging about The Day giving us the down low and before and after picture of matrimonial bliss. As wedding coordinator No. 2 I thought it would be nice to also share details of the whole event and give you a behind the scenes picture of the mythical world of the Wedding planner/Coordinator.Melissa and Melisa (me!) were elected as The

I think I have lost the ability to hold a long conversation. I just met with a person to get some insights on business/ministry and after almost 2 hours of listening and explaining, my mind kept wondering if I was making any sense to him. I kept going over how I should have answered that question or how I could have explained this point a little better and why I should talk about this and that

Not to sound too morbid or whatever.... but I have been thinking an awful lot about last words. I like what Mark Twain has to say, as quoted in this article about his final years' :"A distinguished man should be as particular about his last words as he is about his last breath," he noted. "He should write them out on a slip of paper and take the judgment of his friends on them. He should never

I'm a big fan of Denzel Washington. Not just cause he's got the whole tall, dark and handsome package. Well that's helped! But he's also just amazing at what he does. I've watched tons of his movies and I can still replay scenes from a lot of them, scenes that have blown me away or moved me someway or another.I was reading an interview he did with Relevant Mag. And in it he says, "I was reading

All my new shoes spend their first night displayed in my room so I can look at them constantly. They're the last things I see before I turn off the lights and the first thing I see when I wake up. I try them on, walk around my little room for a bit, try and dance in them and trip over my books on the floor and then slip them off and arrange them neatly on top of the box. And then I imagine what

There's something annoying about staying home alone. I almost always have the tendency to seek out misery. This time, 'misery' came forth in a little DVD called Talentime. Yes the very one I bought last month, which was directed by the late great Yasmin Ahmad. I was whining before about how its a multi-language movie with NO SUBTITLES. But anyway, like I said, I sought to be miserable so I

So like awhile back, Michelle sends me (and a million others) an email asking what hope means to you. And 'Hope' has always been a word very dear to me. And it's a very timely word too. So I wrote back and answered her three questions:1) What is hope to you?2) What do you hope for?3) How can you make your hope come true?The answers we compiled into a book, some videos and short stories.

This was from last season's "So You Think You Can Dance" and the choreography by Mia Michaels was just so powerful. It's one of my favourites and it just really moves me everytime I watch it. The song's pretty awesome so go look it up. Gravity By Sara Bareilles.

After two days of MC, I'm finally feeling much better! So I guess the doctor was wrong and I don't have AH1N1. (yeay!!)She still wants me to get tested, but the hospitals I called said they don't screen if you don't have a fever. They'll just give you Tamiflu right away. But I haven't been near anyone that's sick neither has anyone around me gotten sick. So it can't be, right?But i'm sure i'll be

I've recently stuck a sign on my monitor that reads "Live your theology". I got that while reading 'My Utmost for His Highest' one day which spurred my obsessive overanalysing of every action, thought and word that came out of me.Someone once told me that i was too introspective and that I should just stop. Take a chill pill or something. But I think a number of things which I've encountered

Lately, I''ve been really enjoying my morning drive to work. I've learnt to not care too much bout the jam and to just use whichever route I fancy. It's also been a very crucial part of my day with The Big Guy and it's been pretty amazing. Another reason I've been enjoying my drive is my Playlist. You see, I have a first generation iPod that's got about 13G filled with songs which I last updated

“Making changes in your life is never an easy task. The key is not to get caught up in the distance you have to go to get to where you want to be. Nor should you despair over the amount of control you have over your circumstances. Progress is made in the small, intentional steps, and chances are, you have more power than you think. By focusing on little steps you can take every day, the progress

The sun is out in full force, the sky a cloudless blue. I quicken my steps pass the pedestrians idly strolling by. My eyes squint as it catches the sun rays almost blinding me as I side step the diseased begger.I hear the annoying beep of the traffic lights as it signals for blind pedestrians and dart across the street before the street vendors have a chance to call out in hopes I'd buy

I've been told that i take REALLLYYY long showers. And i won't deny it. Cause I just loveee water. I used to wash my hands everytime I passed a tap. It's not OCD I assure you. I just like water.A lot.So anyway.... with all this talk about conserving energy and water consumption and green living, I thought I'd just look up some ways of how I can save water at home. We don't use that much water to

It's been a long long week. I've spent an extremely large amount of time surfing instead of say... reading my bible. And I've spent my entire evenings watch Joan of Acadia instead of (again) reading my bible. I need to prioritize more. Gahh.Well enjoy these weeks links. :)- Comic with a twist.

"Aww look at him.... isn't he just the smitten kitten. The way he looks at her is like she's the most gorgeous thing on this planet. See how he keeps stealing glances at her and how his face lights up when he catches her eyes as she walks into the room. That's just sooooo adorable!" That's a snippet of conversation my cousins and I were having in the car over the weekend. We had just finished

You are soooooooo full of yourself! Get over how great you are and how everything has to go your way. You are not misunderstood. Everyone's just tired of how silly you are. You should know that your bursts of anger is getting you nowhere.Get over yourself.

When I left Bukit Mertajam for Cyberjaya, there was just this whole new world waiting for me. I has many firsts' and many surprises which kinda made me feel like the saying "Rusa masuk ke kampung" or maybe it was "Katak di bawah tempurung". (??)I had 'chee cheong fun' for the first time and ate 'chap fan' at the stalls for the first time. Goodness knows why I never tried those back in BM. *shrug*
