Thank you, Dad, for providing and protecting, for training and correcting, for loving and caring. Thank you for all you do to give us the very best possible in life. Thank you for leading us in our walk with God and for being such a part of our lives.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
I love and appreciate you.
It’s pretty crazy to think that June is already halfway through. And before you know it, July will be here! And while this favorite may be about two weeks late (considering it’s for the month of June), there’s still half of June left to enjoy these free desktop wallpapers.
There are several fun (and free) wallpapers here! I currently have the popsicle one from Design Love Fest as my laptop wallpaper. Too cute.
Such a fun way to kick-start the weekend. Happy Friday!

Life is often full and busy. But I like to take time to enjoy some of my favorite things. So Friday Favorite is a weekly series where I share my favorite(s) for the week. Check out my other Friday Favorites here.
The fact that I love paper + parcels really isn’t a secret. And as Julie Andrew sings in The Sound of Music, brown paper packages tied up with string are definitely some of my favorite things.
But when you get both at the same time? It’s like Christmas come early.
So I was super excited when I found out that I’d won not one, not two, but FOUR of the newest tag collections from the Chic Tags giveaway on Stephanie Howell’s blog.
But I was blown away when I actually got my parcel on Tuesday – an envelope fully stuffed with packet after packet of paper goodies. Too much goodness in one envelope. Seriously.
I’m really excited to use these and work them into my scrapbooks. Anything to get back to this whole scrapbooking thing that I’ve been missing out on big time.

This week’s favorite is Kinder Bueno. And to be sure, it’s not just any biscuit; it’s all the creamy hazelnut goodness that is kinder bueno, shaped in an almost-too-cute-to-be-eaten hippo.
Ever since childhood, Kinder Bueno has been a favorite. So this Kinder Happy Hippo kinda takes the cake. Or biscuit.
Too good + too cute. ‘Nuff said.
Kinder bueno, you made this week really good (:
Having mixed feelings about the rain messing up my running plan this week.
Enjoying the new look of this space and thinking up new blog content + posts.
Remembering to trust the God of miracles+ give thanks in everything.
Relishing the last two weeks of summer break before school begins again.
Planning and preparing to get things done.
Thinking of ways to make dreams a reality.
Looking forward to dinner with friends tonight.
Learning to embrace everything, good and bad, that God places in my life.

This week seemed to fly by yet slow down, all at the same time.
But hooray for Thursdays – only one more day until the weekend (:
Summer break’s been great – relaxing, taking time off school, not being stressed out, and doing things I’ve been wanting to do. But it’s also challenged me to think about how I’ve been using my time and spending each day. And that’s important because we all get one, and only one, chance to live each moment.
“Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
– Psalm 90:12
Happy Wednesday! I hope your week’s been good so far (:

Each Wednesday, I share a quote + some thoughts that have been especially relevant in my life during the week. Read more Wednesday Words here.
Hello, sun + hanging out. Hello, more summer vacation + relaxing. Hello, being busy doing nothing. Hello to the second half of 2013.
This month is pretty much going to be full of relaxing and doing fun things before I start summer school. It’s pretty crazy thinking about how we’re already halfway through this year. But I daresay, it’s been a blast so far.
Hello, June.
I may be a little late jumping onto the instant photo bandwagon. But I finally decided to spend my birthday money on this Fujifilm Instax 25. AND I LOVE IT.
Not being sure of what you’re going to get and watching the film develop before your very eyes right after you take the photo is part of the thrill + novelty of having an instant camera.
I already love the little collection of instant photos that I’ve since amassed and I can’t wait to see how it grows!
Happy Friday!
On those days that I tend to over-think things, second-guess myself, or let my thoughts get the better of me, I remind myself of this:
Then I take a deep breath, choose to think God’s thoughts, and go about my day.
I hope your week’s been super duper so far; happy Wednesday!

When I found out that the Public Garden was having their April flea market at the National Museum of Singapore, I jumped at the opportunity to check out the market AND visit a museum, a double-win for me. It was so nice having free entry to the museum because of the flea. And I’m pretty stoked that the National Heritage Board is now offering free entry to museums around Singapore. For more details, read here.
We only had about an hour to check out both the flea market and the museum exhibits before closing time so time was rather tight and we didn’t get to spend as much time as I would’ve liked. But I loved the time I got to spend there and I’m definitely excited to go to another museum again!
I didn’t have my camera with me that day so all these photos are taken with my android phone.
‘Twas a really fun evening. And definitely a nice way to spend a Saturday doing something different.
I’m still plodding through my 21 list, albeit a little (too) slowly because there’s only a few months of twenty-one left! But I’m glad I got to cross this one off the list! (:
