Soulbirds found birdie nest!

Birds are created on this earth to remind human of
1) Possibilities. If small beings like birds can lift themselves and glide in the sky, there is a vast possibilities human can create and live with our energy and beings.
2) Lightness of the heart. No matter how high up we are, we must always live with a light heart because freedom does not lies in the flight itself but in the ability to let the wings take us in the wind.
So Happy Birds Day! And thank all birds who have been lifting my soul :)

Wrote this some time ago but didn't manage to jot it here till now. And today I found a nest with mummy and baby birds in it. I was thrilled! Mummy is really taking good care of the kiddo, sitting in the nest, watching over surrounding and the kids. It's my first time seeing nest with Birds!! Oh and I managed to get my Bird to marvel at the beauty of it together on the overhead bridge which also a special place for us both:) Bird got so thrilled that this moment helps him finally decide on getting a 35x zoom camera to take pic of the birds! Can you imagine in the whole universe, two silly person (at the same time beautiful in our own special ways I would say, haha) went roaming through the mall, looking for camera and asking people if we could use it immediately as we saw something we want to photograph. If this scene is from a story that I read, I be so excited!! So yeah! Im glad im in the story:) I'm with a man who can be so delighted by such simple beauty and looking out to capture the moment together.

"As the little bird flaps and spreads its wings, both our little hearts flutter as we leap with joy, eyes sparkle and give each other a hug of delight, love and awe." - probably one of my happiest moment in life - the moment where we leap together and the look on Bird's face is unforgettable! That delight and joy on the usually calm stoic face. Wow! In most of our journey together, we have been really honored and fortunate to be accompanied and lifted by birds of all sort. Swallows, sparrows, bluebird, green bird, eagle, long leg birds (which I have no idea what its name), "old wise birds".. well birds! our angels. There is probably no other better way to describe why our little space here is known as Soulbirds than this post here.

Run with your heart

 Rainbow rainbow!!! I finally get to witness these beautiful rainbow on two separate days! And lesson learn: Sometimes miracles happens when you least expected it so.

 This is the best reward a full day of packing my room! Just as I was trying to snap a picture the colour of the sun for Bird to see, I saw a spot of colours through my phone screen. I thought I was using some filter in my phone apps. But I wasnt! and a closer look! I was elated! It's rainbow! Something I consider a miracle because it is that tiny gap of opportunity that one get to catch a glimpse of these colourful decoration of the sky. And I'm thankful that both the sun and bird have kind of lead me to this:)

And here's me in the train with my brother..as I suddenly spotted something like a rainbow across the sky as the train passes by one of my favourite place:) I asked my brother can I get off the train to see rainbow..he didn't reply me and before he know, I jumped out of the train and happily went trying to snap a picture of it. Next moment I asked him can I go down to the field to catch the rainbow. He nodded his head (by this time, it's a little black) I ran down to the open field; no more rainbow! It's already gone. But I'm happy nonetheless. Because I seen it, I run after it. I did all I could at that moment to chase after what I love. Yea. When you love something so much, you just run with your heart. And guess, that's bee:) It's not about whether we get it or not in the end, it's about taking that step in full blast, doing all you could to get it! That's the spirit! 

So thank you rainbow:) thank you sun who lights form the rainbow:)

I'm glad to witness this little rainbow in that split moment:) A moment to remind me to appreciate each and every moment of life. For each moment is a miracle:) And most of all, when you love something so much, you go all out to get it!

Gratitude and love

It seems like a short Sunday..but I have a long day of little moments.

1. Walked to granny's place to pass something and on my way, I found this lovely leaves laying on the ground with such beautiful clear water droplet right on it.. I just have to take a pic! 

2. Found those lovely pink flower blooming from pots of plants my granny and aunt keep. Looking fresh and beautifully green:)

3. I wandered alittle along a little jungle, snapping pictures of those big leaves with water droplets on it..they are beautiful:) (*I didn't realise my aunt was behind me...she probably wondering what am I doing and walked away, because I only saw her back as I turned around hehe)

4. While waiting for the bus, I saw this white clouds moving real fast above and across swisshotel@cityhall. Lovely. I wonder how many people notice that. 

5. Met up with Bird and someone who is feeling a little blue. I kept quiet all the time, just listening. 

and here's something inspired from it somehow; 

"Everyone have different perspective n opinions but everyone want one thing similar.. Everyone want to be happy. How hard n how easy to be happy don't depend on cert.. It's all within us to be. Success is not about having qualification or high paid job or rank.. It's the ability to identify that we hold the power to be happy. N this don't depend on anyone, anything. If we want to fight n prove ourselves, all we need to do is to be happy. Because how many people will be jealous of our happiness that we can give ourselves when most people are waiting for others to give them happiness."

**

 Be appreciative for at least one thing a day and each day will get rosier and prettier:) Today I'm thankful for little moments that show me journey of life, compassion and gratitude.

** 

Spend each day as if it's your last, you will find that there is no time for fear, anger and hatred for others and for ourselves. (aww now i feel like watching tuesday w morrie again in this cold windy weather:)

6. On my way back, Saw this couple in the train look china maybe Tibet or somewhere far.. They r sitting down with two trolley wheel tied to those plastic basket we seen in market. They dressed in somewhat not so tidy clothes. The woman is kind of bald n hair messy.. But somehow I feel they r beautiful in some strange way I didn know how to describe maybe because they seems contented n comfortable with how they dress n what they bring even tho it may not be the norm. The woman has her eyes closed look tired the guy tried to pinch her nose n ears. I can't hear what they say but he look like he is playing with her. Somehow I thought the scene is beautiful, little moment of life eh. 

**

Being contented opens the door of our heart to happiness

7. Saw a young couple feeding a kitten with kitty food in this windy cold night. Seeing such scene makes me feel touched and thankful that whether people are conscious about it or not, compassion is something in all of us in some point of our life. I hope the kitty had a full meal and a good sleep with warmth :)

8. Wind gets stronger and as I look up, I saw the rain drizzling down so quietly with the wind, looking like snow:)

9. I'm glad my mum is fine:) 

Thank you.

Reflection

Bee was somehow tossing around in a emotion roller coaster yesterday and kind of getting myself drained up with headache. I slept through the morning. Was told to help out at a store when I finally woke up. But I decided I have to be in peace with myself before proceeding with today. I kind of look into space in my room, looking at a stack of books Bird gave me and saw this title "Everything is going to be ok" Such a simple statement but yet it is such a important few words to remember. 

I flipped through the books as I reflect on my emotions and feelings and thoughts. Just like what I read before; Thoughts are what we choose to think and feel.

Here's a text message I sent to Bird. I want myself to remember and so here it is:

"Was flipping through this book u gave me.. Reflecting on my emotions. It's the critical part of me that makes myself tense up. As I flip through the pages, this statement come to my mind " all I need is confidence" in everything n thankful for having you. Sometimes it feels like u r in my life so that I could remember to take things lighter n less critical about myself. N the next thought, I wonder why do people tends to believe in sadness rather than happiness. I'm happy to have u n all the moments that we have but yet I'm at times so no confidence that everything is good. It is just me n my self sabotage at work. Just yesterday.. When brother bear told me he is impressed by how I can get unfamiliar work done within such Short time.. I can choose To be happy But somehow i feel Stress up about future.. About what he may expect of me. But in actual fact thinking of it now, its prob my expectation for myself that is driving myself crazy. This may not b the best time to text u this cos u may b busy.. But I was just trying to gather thoughts so I can let them go n breathe in new life. Thank you for being supportive n loving in my life. Your love show me light to a deeper sense of myself where all the answers lies. I love you."

And here it is what soulbirds is about..a journey of us in love and light:) and a journey of reflections and lessons learn we would love to share. 

Ray of lights

I'm awed by my dreams!!

Woke up from a sleepy slumber..

feeling my body muscles all tensed up and aching.

Suddenly I remember parts and parcels of my quirky, deep dream..

So these are some facets of my dreams:

1. Lots of desserts! Cakes everywhere and seemingly in a new work place..huge space!

an office and somehow in a corner of it..there is a fridge left with one slice of chocolate cake.. 

I went near it and realise there is a cake dispensing machine..*blink blink* with all kinds of cakes..apple crumble included!!! and there is someone savoring the cake beside the machine..who kind of makes me feel warm..and there are many fruit tarts!!! strawberries with mango, apple...they are huge tall tarts with delicious looking butter crust! They look as if it will have buttery crumbs falling when I take my bite! aww!!!! I remember so much about the giant tarts that I don't quite remember the rest of the experience in the place. Maybe I have met a lady..artistic lady..who I seems to get around with..and who seems warm to me, showing me the way around long corridors and whom perhaps I got in a car with.. 

**The point is I have a good feeling about where I'm and who I'm with.. as if I have finally reach somewhere where I long to go. Is this a sign for something good happening? or a sign to pour my heart into being artistic and trust my intuition to follow my heart and do what I love! to do art?

2. Here's the next part of my dream.. but I only remember really facets of it..

I'm in somewhere spacious..high up in the mountains..in the nature maybe.. in some sort of a valley. The air is great! The sky is blue! The greenery is brilliant! Everything is beautiful! I look down from a mountain or a hill, absorbing the beautiful scenery of the green valley before my eyes, feeling new and afresh! There are small streams of water flowing peacefully through the valley, sparkling as the sun shines on it, with lush greenery growing along the streams that leads to a large lake or river where it is so wide that it seems to reach the horizon. At this point, I'm no longer on the mountain it seems. I'm gliding down the valley, across the lush green, almost touching the clear sparkling water beneath my feet. I seems to be diving down fast, cutting through the air and wind..but somehow I feel so secure..like as if I'm a natural flyer like a bird perhaps..and I'm being held by the wind. 

There is nothing to fear..and though diving down fast.. The speed is so fast that it actually reaches a standstill and I could see everything so clearly, so closeup. Saw gigantic flower floating on the crystal clear water, opening so magically..so miraculously, so gently and in tune with the universe..*I'm not sure what flower it is, looks like a lotus, but bigger, thicker. I lift myself in an angle..looking at the sight of the opening flower with disbelief, but with so much joy and light. I'm gliding among the lush greenery..that is so soft..so gentle...the long leaves of the green feels more like soft cotton or feathers caressing my skin so kindly. I feel like I'm in an endless flight, gliding across the sky up and down..breathing in all these miracle art of the universe..and somehow..a voice whispers..asking me to dive deeper in...

I'm not sure what it means..but I just follow..The whole scene seems to be vertical now and I'm still diving in...with no fear at all somehow..just curiosity. What will I be seeing.. Where does this lead..

And to my surprise.. as I dive in deeper, a peak of a tall narrow mountain appears before my eyes. I'm amazed and at the back of my mind..I'm asking how can it be..what happen..where am I.. I thought I came down from a mountain, dive deep into the depth of the valley.. I should have been touching ground somehow..but no..I'm not.. I seems to be flying maybe along a wide curve..like as if along the earth, the globe..which leads me to find another peak of an mountain standing so dignified among the green. And suddenly..I have a zoomed out view of the whole scenery, someone told me if I want to find the lights (in this case it seems I'm in search of the aurora)..I should just keep going till I reach the tip of the blue..the sky. And it seems now I'm being shown a map with mountains and valley like where I have just been gliding..and pointed to me the top part of the map high beyond the peak of the mountain..is the large portion of blue..the sky..where I will find the light.

Wow!! aww!! I'm not sure if I left out any part of the dream..but this is enough to awe me!! I'm so swept away and feeling so amazed as I'm recalling and writing it down here. It's been a journey man! I don't remember I have such dreams before.. not flying! But here I'm! I'm flying! And being shown directions?!? Can this be a sign too of telling me something?? 

*Think Think Think* I'm in the winnie the pooh thinking mode again. 

I haven't feel anything like this since beginning of the year just before I got together with Bird..where the reflection of water clear my thoughts..and blinking swallow smiling at me..

and now I'm flying?!

To think of it..have I just entered a sort of paradise?! 

Paradise is no where but on earth! So where do we find them? 

All of us have the power to find paradise when we follow our heart.

*Did a quick search on Aurora..and this is what I got..
"In ancient Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of the dawn, renewing herself every morning to fly across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun"

Love chances

How many times we gone all ways to look for the one true love

How many chances have we got to meet the one

Over the roof and the field, we flew paper planes across the sky

Through the clouds and the trees, among the birds and the bees,

We laugh and have fun just being us 

back to those simpler days 

where we were just kids 

and love is simply two souls connected as one

How many times we have probably look at one another 

then deny the voice in our hearts

How many times we have spoken the heart of one another

then just look at each other and smile

Over the hills and the trees, we waited patiently in the cold air of dawn

for the first light to rise to the dance in our hearts

Did I tell you I was trying so hard to hide the warmth and joy that touched my soul

Did I tell you..

I wish we could stay up on the hill longer, even forever

this is a moment when I recognize

you are the one

- Bee for Bird

(inspired by House at Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins)

Reflection of the soul

I'm so in love with this picture taken by Bird..
reminds me of the reflection I saw from the puddle of water at queenstown before I bump into Bird at teahouse which kind of leading me accepting myself and a new path.. guess reflection has kind of a therapeutic healing effect on bee..it clears my thoughts cleanse the mind..for a way to connect to the heart's deepest nature.. +*LOVE*+

Light, Life, Love

Being in the Moment

Share Your Sparks! Live in the moment & allow light to flow into your experience of life... Love will fulfill your hearts & overflow into laughter... & you will be a sparkling gem of light!

 

Love this picture! The dog and man leaning against each other, watching the break of dawn, rise of the sun. A picture sent by Bird to Bee. And amazingly, we both set it as our wallpaper coincidentally, or should I say with much synchronicity. I feel love and humanity in this beautiful photo. 

Speaking of being in the moment, I found this little bourbon candy tin with a beautiful scene of a couple leaning against each other, looking out into a dream ahead, while living in the moment. It reminds me so much of the Dog and Man photo above. Synchronicity, connection or pure coincidence.. No matter what it is of this, I'm thankful to be able to live this moment and looking into the future with love and light. 

I got this for Bird! :)

Oh, the sales person in the store told me in the past, Bourbon candy are used during dating in Paris. Simple and Lovely:)  

Love, laughter & light,

Alex Chua

Awake to consciousness

The sun is following us:D

Ray of lights captured by Bird

The sun is in the middle:)

The sun glowing in my heart:)

Woke up earlier than usual and the sun is good! Great! Beautiful! I woke up this morning and choose to feel good and have a great day:) It's a learning curve to make a conscious decision to feel good and enjoy a good day. Something that I explore and learnt:
1. Every night before I sleep, wrap up the night knowing that I had a good day and whatever needs to be done, I have already done. No matter how's the result, I have done my part. I will improve everyday. Things will get better as long as I believe. Have a short good read. Keep a journal and write down my appreciation and gratitude towards little things in life. Have a good sleep.
2. Every morning, wake up before the sun is fully risen. Enjoy the birds' singing to the sun. Feel the goodness of a newborn life for a fresh day. Feel the sun's energy. Smile. Feel blessed. Feel appreciative, thankful and loved.  Let someone know I love and care. Be it a silent seed in mind, or sending a message to lovely people around.
And here..
thank Bird for being understanding and sharing the sun.
 wish all well and lovely to a friend who just given birth to a little princess.
hope all lovely people around me find the source to sun's energy too. 

Sunrise and love

This is the most beautiful sunrise I ever seen so far! Standing on mountain top in the cold and wilderness, awaiting for the dawn to break and sky to change its color as the sun unveil behind the clouds. It's really an amazing moment! It's really a blessing to be able to catch this beautiful moment:)  

The sun rises! embrace the earth with its warmth..

We are really thankful to witness this and feel the sun shines on our skin too:)

 So here's bird and bee perching on the mountain top, with the sun shining upon us

Thank you:)

Birds are angels

Birds are angels. 

Gliding through wind and rainbow, 

spreading its wings that bring upon the light given by the sun. 

So gently, it perches on our life line, 

watching over us, 

lifting us, 

taking us on a flight 

of love and light:)

Love story of little yellow flowers

This caught my eyes during my walk to work and I just can't resist to take a closer peek and snap of picture of them. Don't they look oh so loving. A story spun in my head as I'm writing. 
Maybe they met each other when they are seedlings. But as a seed, they can only depend on the wind to blow and hopefully one day they will be close enough to see each other again. So each go on living, growing, fulfilling their duties as a seedlings. Leaves started to grow out of their seedling coat among other leaves from the earth. Rain or shine, they live on, with a strong faith that if they persist, one day they will see each other when they are tall enough as a flower. Days and nights passed, they grow taller and taller. A bud grow out of them. They are filled with so much joy and eagerness to finally see each other no matter how long they could be together. They can't wait to open up to each other. 
Dawn breaks. The first light woke them up from their slumber of rainbow dreams and anticipation. The Sun casts its warmth across earth. Opening their eyes, they recognize each other immediately. Tears roll as they smile. Tears of joy and love.
Bent over each other, leaning gently against each other. 
No words is said. 
No words could describe the gratefulness they felt at that moment. 
They embrace as the sun rises.

Soul birds

Soul birds

Soulbirds immerse in sun rise and sun set. Embrace by the warmth of the sun with colors from the reflections of the lights. A random drawing I did on a sleepless night. It makes the night sweeter with love:)

Sun Dance

The sun always get the better of me.. Love these images of how the sun makes its way around the nature. It's lovely. Love those rays and flares..
