Flying draco! Take the leap

woohoo!!! saw this today!!! while walking in to work. hehe that sparks up my morning! 

I thought it was a bird that flew pass, so tiny, so swift. It landed on a tree. I take a close look, thinking that its a bird biting on to a piece of green leafy. And suddenly realise it has tail!!! it's a lizard!! a draco!

A flying dragon?! hehehe so excited!!! Google on it and its name is really Draco! Draco sumatran! hehe

I love my work place where it's near the forest!

Strangely! Bird sent me this in the morning before I met the lizard who took the leap. 

I didn't quite get it till Bird text me again 

" The pic is an encouragement to take a leap and do what you wish 

because sometimes it takes falling to fly"

How amazing isn't it?! haha and here I met a flying lizard! who don't really fly but take leap from a vantage height in order to glide!! woohooo!

It's amazing how it glide and able to aim the landing point so swiftly!!!

Great Morning to start with!!!

Now it gets me thinking what do I wish to do and gota take that leap!!! 

That's quite a list! 

1. In terms of work; Yeah! Service, organization structure design! Designing, sparkling and sustaining the pulse of organization! That's what I love to do! I always thought I love to do branding, but recently an insight show me (Thanks to the strength quest Bird let me do) that I love something beyond and deeper than branding, I'm interested to be the doctor of a organization, to monitor the pulse of it, the morale of each individual, the momentum of the heartbeats and sustaining a healthy pulse!

2. In terms of fun; I would love to paint something on a canvas! But always cant get an idea what to paint! hehe so here's something to play on!

3. In terms of life; To get on next phrase of life, to marry! haha (Something I used to have resistance, fear towards because it seems woman's life is so short. You marry, kids and turn "yellow") But with Bird, it feels so natural and looking forward to this next phrase together:) 

Sun

There are times when the sun gets hidden behind clouds... know that this too shall pass... also realise that there are unique opportunities hidden during such times... learn to see them... know that they too shall pass...

- Bird wrote this..and I think I just have to note this here:)

Good Morning!

Sunrise

Sunrise is beautiful:)

Took this while I was saving my work early in the morning. 

It's beautiful, the air is fresh and my sleepiness is uplifted by the sight of clouds and sun rising into it.

morning dew

A different way of watching SUnriSe!

Good good morning!

The morning smells great and the sky is blue. Sun peeping through the leaves and branches, rays embracing the trees:) Our little fellows of the green hurry out to catch a sunbath. Birds singing, rejoice a new life with the sun.

Found this rango hugging the tree to get a little tan! it's cute!

Try to capture the sun ray! can you see them? hehe

sun blast! hehe loving this morning!

breakie surprise

Learnt something new today: 

Bird loves eating Tarts when sick:)

Got Bird tarts today and glad that made a little sweet surprise:)

But awww Bee is too buzzy, forget to snap a picture of my lovely tarts! 

They are in my tummy before I knew it! 

aww..what a gluttony! 

Mug filled to the brim

Bird made me hot chocolate drink and told me becareful not to spill!
Just right the next moment, I dunk the mug cover into the hot chocolate while trying to cover the mug!
Bee is fast! Bird is getting used to such episodes! haha

A morning of my life

Was reading a book about a Barn Owl named Wesley and his little princess Stacey, a biologist who kept this wild owl at home because Wesley has problem living in the wild with a wings not so suited for flying. And here's the interesting part: Wesley love water though typical owl would have kill you if you knock it down a pool of water! But here's a snap shot of Wesley in Stacey's bath tub taking a bath like a duck!!! This makes me laugh and charmed by these loveliness of our animal friends.

And just as I'm in my own little world with Stacey and Wesley..the bus I'm on broke down. Remembering what Bird always say about being in the moment, appreciate the moment. I got to the back of the bus stop and snap a few shots of the sun from the park where I alighted waiting for the next bus. So yea..it's well and fine.

Reached office with these creamy chocolate swiss rolls on my desk! Cakes my favourite!
hehe thank you Bird!  They looks like earthy hills! I was imagining "planting" a few greens on it!

Random mix in morning

Heart it

Morning surprise from Bird! Love the red little heart in the center of this black creature which we found out later it's actually an owl! So that's even lovelier and now I have it right in front of me in the center.. maybe as a bee and mac angel? hehe 

Happy breakfast, smiling coffee

A surprise Mcdonald breakfast on a weekday at work! And coffee! I have been dreaming about getting a cup of coffee for a long while now, but just didn't have the courage to take it with the memory of heart beating fast and drowsiness occur when I drank.
I love the fragrance of coffee..it carries so much stories with it...the depth of love, the gentleness of the soul all can be tasted, breathe in..from a cup.
So I did! I drank half a cup of coffee and I'm proud of doing so because that kind of break my habitual fear for coffee. Thank you Bird.
It's been a long week...but all it's well in the end..
Mcdonald breakfast reminds me of morning breakfast with Bird and reading book in the ray of lights..
Looking forward to our no work day!
Looking forward to the zoo, birdpark, st john island! More sunrise! Tea house! Or simply just a walk.. I love walks, breathing in life from nature and feeling love while appreciating small things with Bird.
Love:)

Morning vibes

So my Yantra for today is " Think good thoughts"

And I did. 

Watched a Ted talk titled "Three things I learned while my plane crashed" by Ric Elias.

Few things learned:

1. Instead of being right, I choose to be happy.

2. Dying isn't that scary. It seems we are prepared or living towards that. But I want to live my life. I want to one day watch my kids grow up.

3. We are too often trapped in too many things that doesn't really matters.

4. Don't hold on to our ego. Don't live the ego. Live life.

5. Appreciate loved ones like today is your last.

6. Anything could happen in an instant.

Read a magazine Bird bought while having breakfast from Bird.

(I haven't read any magazine for quite a while and it's definitely refreshing to pick up one and live myself, be in the know of trends, latest hottest colors, fashion, style and perhaps ways of writing, new places.)

Oh and I finally got a name for the new design blog in some split seconds of vibe!

Walkthedots

(This taught me some things just fall in place naturally and I just have to not be so serious for it to flow)

The thing that get me excited over this moment is that I didn't think more than 1 minute before signing up an account with the name! Oh and I magically use a template with lots of dots without knowing! 

So I should do less thinking, more action.

Guess I'm in touch with the other side of me now..so time to kick some ass! haha

Every second counts

"When we love something, emotion often drives our actions..." 

Read this from new Starbucks book "Onwards" 

I have read a couples of books about Starbucks:

1. Pour your heart into it

This was recommended by my boss/ mentor/ friend... and inspired me 

so much so to want to bring a brand alive. 

2. The Starbucks Experience

Where I highlighted and studied as I try to draw out a template to customize the company with love.

And I present my piece to my dear bosses at a Starbucks overlooking the river, now the Marina Bay Sands. I must say I was naive but has its goodness. I miss that passionate naive moment! That moment full of belief and guts and love! 

3. How Starbucks save my life

This touches my heart and teach me to view life and challenges in a different perspective. And of course, inspires me further to pull it through to my dear bosses to strike a chord with our "partners", to love and share.

4. Onwards 

And this well.. may just come in time to revive my passion and give me that gutsy armor to strive for my belief and dream. I need it now especially. And most of all, I need my bosses to see beyond products and profits but instead look into love and sharing. 

Good morning:)

Packed my work desk first thing in the morning. I cherish neatness.
Keeping things tidy and setting the right mood and environment for work is important. 
Personally, clearing the desk is quite equivalent to clearing the mind. 
I need a living pot of tiny plant to liven up:)

This pops up as I was breathing in the sun, feeling its warmth showering on my skin. I was telling myself to live life to the fullest, do not fear and fret..just live and love and these words "live life" pop up just when I was listening to soulmates. I smile. I transcended to the moment where Bird told me "I think we are soulmates" The words still fresh in my mind. I remember how those words were spoken with breathe held. I remember how we saw so many pair of birds in one morning...the dragonflies dancing in front of us.. the bees on the tree..even the roosters and hen by the public toilet and the sleepiness in our heads from a night of roaming by the beach. I remember. I remember all of it. I thank the sun today, recollecting all these moments. 
And thank you Bird.
Oh of course, the name of this journal is inspired by "how us soulmates are brought together by the birds in one way of another.." :) 
Soulmates + Birds = Soulbirds

Morning Reflection

Wonders of Nature:)

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.
