Renderings of the heart.
I was just stoning at the table one of these days over the week...when for some reason, I just grabbed a paper and started doodling. I didn't even have any idea what I should draw....it just 'spilt' out I guess. =S
I really like the process of drawing. While in the midst of it, I'm basically caught up in the little framed world I've created. Just a glimpse into the heart of a creator. Makes me just in awe of how He does it perfectly. The cool thing about drawing, is that you can add in these fine little details that the whole world misses, but not you. You know every nook and cranny. And certain elements added in, most probably only you and a few others know of.
And everyone who sees it, gets different things out of it.
And at the end of it, the moment of looking at your own finished piece....mmmmmm. =)
Kinda experimenting, so please don't mind the amatuerish results. =)
here's the doodle
the piece at the end, with some background gradients and tinge added in photoshop

Hmm...I think I must be the slowest blogger around huh? It's been so long since I last updated, and now this post is gonna be on my birthday, which is 2 months back.
=S
But in anycase, I just wanna leave a mark on the birthday this year....cause it really was quite a moment of blessing for me. Above all else, it was the people around who made a difference... and more than anything else, I treasure your remembrance and the time that was shared.

It was a blast of an evening. And it was followed by further little gestures for the next following days. Some more cakes, cards, an apple struddel, a nice polo shirt, some gifts.
More than the gift, I'm really thankful for the trouble taken. Yeah, it was less quieter than usual for this year.
It's been 2 months, but still, thanks guys!

Donning the no. 4, buckling the chin strap of the helmet and feeling it on my head, smelling the freshly brushed kiwi on the boot, feeling that all too familiar weight of the sbo on the shoulders.
It's almost nostalgic.
Just a few more hours before I walk down that familiar path down my camp once again. To those of you who happens to come across these words, here's a tiny request.
Just a short mutterance to God, and ask for His grace and strength to be upon me as I go through this week. The 2.4 years of NS life back then was only possible by His grace....so would it be the same even just for this one week.
Thanks for the remembrance alright? Appreciated.
And hope to see you all soon, real soon.
