lots of love from far far away land

With love,

not where we thought we'd be.

around 9000 km.

far far away from home.

along came hock.

he created a huge change.

and so do i; made a shift in his life.

we've step into a passage,

not where we thought we'd be.

the light at the end of the tunnel is getting

brighter and brighter, day after day.

to the adventures,

to the ups and downs,

 to the unpredictable future,

to a journey worth travelling together,

i will always be there.

P/S: Hock, you are dearly missed and it's not funny!

With love,

Jade

a transition

daddy's little girl

dad asked,
"why not don't go back there?"

i smiled and replied,
"flight has been booked and i'm ready to go...

but i'll be back, dad!"

---

a day or two left.

bags still not pack.

this indescribable feeling is taking over me again.

part of me is so excited to see what's coming my way, 

but on the other side still lies this little girl; afraid to face the world alone.

to the cowardly brave girl,

it's time to shine and show the world what daddy's little girl is made of!

With love,

Jade

unspoken connection

It’s like they are related!”

"The Sound of Music"

These walls were not built to shut out problems. 

You have to face them. 

You have to live the life you were born to live.

belief is the word

Your DREAM: a belief that you should believe in.

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours.

And if they don't, they never were."

of love, attachment and loss

it's part and parcel of life.

 *a short video inspired by Anne Carson's book, Eros the Bittersweet.

today, she may be here.
tomorrow, you'll never now.
so hold her tight.
and 
tell that someone that you love,
just what you're thinking of if tomorrow never comes.
(Ronan Keating's "If Tomorrow Never Comes")

a challenge, an opportunity

♺ DalaiLama
Whenever there is a challenge,
there is also an opportunity to face it,
to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.

i pen down my thoughts

You can’t love someone for what they stand for or seem to be.
You have to love them for their details,
for the things that are true of them and only them.

— Rosalee, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (2004)

i observe. i write.

whatever it is.

my thoughts, my actions.

this is me.

With love,

Jade

i'm happy when you're happy

all these while, one of my main reasons i shoot is to make people happy.

i stumbled upon this video and  it really shows my reason to snap.

i like to see smiles on the many faces i meet.

this is why i love taking photos :)

With love,
Jade

can't wait to kick some ass!

During your travels it’s important to always keep one thing in mind.
When one thing ends, something else begins.

changes happen for a reason

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

People change so that you can learn to let go.

Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right.

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

— Marilyn Monroe

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

everytime when i stumble upon this phrase 'everything happens for a reason',

i remembered Mr Makihiko Kumekawa  told me this.

and oh yea, i've got a post in 2008 on this.
(lol..that's me! i tend to repeat myself! XP )

People change so that you can learn to let go.

a leopard never changes its spots?

OR

Gandhi's "You must be the change you wish to see in the world"?

so, do people actually change?

that's for me to know and for you to find out! 

Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right.

take people you are close with the most for example.

do you think you take him/her for granted?

you can make time for your other friends and all, but what happens to our dearest?hmm..

appreciate them, please.

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,

i've believed in lies.

i've believed in everyone i've faced

- the good, the bad, or god knows who's the good or the bad

i've believed in all of them.

but i've learn.

today, i believe in myself.

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

perhaps.

But if everything happens for a reason, then what's the reason when nothing's happening?

With love,

Jade

cease the KID moment in you!

do the things that make you happy.
take time to enjoy the small things.
create a kid moment.
don’t take things for granted.
appreciate them as if you are seeing them for the first time.
do something fun.
do something silly.

they become the heroes of your little stories.
find the kid in you! :)

With love,
Jade

the reason

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

back in line

If you wanna be somebody,
If you wanna go somewhere,
You better wake up and pay attention.
- Sister Act 2

I've been rotting and it's definitely a bad thing.

NOW,
I'm gonna fix my batteries back on the clock,
and
I'm back, babeh!
I'M BACK!
