Smiling Rain Cloud

Hmm..
not often that one would wake up with a smile,

but it happened to me this morning. 

Two guests named calm and happiness paid me a special visit.

Hehe..
Thank God for this wonderful expression that I don't use often enough!

So many languages in the world, and a smile speaks them all :)

被人誤解的時候能微微的一笑，這是一種素養；

受委屈的時候能坦然的一笑，這是一種大度；

吃虧的時候能開心的一笑，這是一種豁達；

處窘境的時候能自嘲的一笑， 這是一種智慧；

無奈的時候能達觀的一笑，這是一種境界；

危難的時候能泰然一笑，這是一種大氣；

被輕蔑的時候能平靜的一笑，這是一種自信；

失戀的時候能輕輕的一笑，這是一種灑脫。

不管是有什麼事情，為了什麼原因，

我們每天都要開心一笑~

A Full Cup of Happiness

Coming back from holidays I have been careful not to drink too much coffee. Reason being that I need sleep. During the holiday my body was in overdrive - lots of walking & activities during the day on little sleep recharge at night. Now my body clock is confused. It sleeps late yet wakes up before the birds.

So I looked for something to substitue the daily caffine fix, especially with the weather being so chilly. Nothing like a hot cuppa to warm up the belly (and hands and nose hehe).

Introducing my new morning routine: vanilla scented chai milk tea. Have to say that I am in love with this drink. Weird. Never been a fan until recently...

I chose Twinings' light flavoured chai as I wasn't confident about spicy tea. So far, every cup of vanilla chai milk tea has been sheer enjoyment. This morning I dunked three Monte Carlo in the drink then went back for more biccies to dunk with! Talk about finding a happy place - tea infused snack!

Good stuff ought to be shared with good friends.

Drink me chai :)

Hello.

Just want to say that I miss blogging

Hoping to restart soon

:)

Having a bad day? I was!

My carpool buddy, Miss K, was feeling tired and exhausted this morning from a lack of asleep. I on the other hand was feeling deflated about work and other issues. Hehe. Imagine being in the same car with two moody ladies! 

As we shared with one another our cross, Miss K was reminded of something which refreshed our noisy souls. She'd heard from a female speaker that if we were to ever feel moody and forecast a bad day ahead, stop and think that God was the planner of that day (and all that will happen)!

So a practical lesson here for me: bring the day under His Lordship (Jim Berg) and have a good time :)

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24

Every day is worth rejoicing over because it is a day that God has made ^^

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive" Jeremiah 29:11-14

I am career mapping,

Action planning,

Performance assessing.

Uninspired,

Brain juice dried up,

Eyelids are falling heavy.

Wake up!

Back to work,

Tomorrow's freedom awaits.

My dear sleepy friends.

Cheers.
