Blue is Quiet Confidence

for the young who radiates with quiet confidence, a nautical themed party wraps the best celebration. Made these table centerpieces for a debut party.

Lighter Brown

Assembled these inspiration while cleaning my desk. 

If there's a color that I use for life, it's brown. Brown because like the earth, brown conveys beginnings (soil) and ending (soil).

Tracing Melody

 Been long since I visited and penned on this page.  A friend of mine said it's a season.  Perhaps, it's true.  The usual chatterbox seemed away.  No casual conversations, no multiple photos and flooding social media feeds ... and no words.  Phew!

But I think a new season is arriving.  And, it's welcomed by white and gold and a melody.  Must be God's divine intervention - He introduced me to a wonderful family who wanted me to help organize their daughter's debut party.  I hesitated (and so I thought) but the joy of being able to journey with others as they celebrate life is as pleasant as finding gold.

 We are still months away from the event but we are already seeing wonderful days ahead!

Here's to those who don't easily give up tracing their melody in life!

Chewy-Nutty-Yema Bliss

I see friends like a favorite food. You will not forget them. You may not see them often but when you do, everything else goes back to the good old day. 

Our 

Fireflies Burn ...

With an unexpected turn, I found myself helping out a friend in preparation for a big and meaningful event for her family.  I met them last night and discovered how beautiful conversations can be like with soft-spoken individuals.  It didn't take long for me to admire this family.  I suppose it's their gentleness and flowing caring words for each other that glued me instantly to this family.

Something lovely is going to happen soon as in this February ...

I'm gonna see a beautiful star in a starry starry night  ...

And perhaps introduce that star to this song ...

Fireflies 

By: Marie Hines

Fire on your back, Sky painted black
Guessing the turns fireflies burn

Tiptoe in time
Falling behind
Losing your way
Learning to pray

Brilliant parade
Blind masquerade
Waltzing in place
Weaving through space

Flashes of light
Season the night
Living is like
Chasing fireflies

Twisting the proof
Turning from youth
Laughing at fate
Swinging too late

Loosening lips
Lost battleships
Fighting the lies
Burning inside

A gallery of could-be's
A library of would-be's
A destiny of should-be's
Waiting at your door
The mystery of maybe
A history of save me's
A risk worth taking
Waiting at your door

Fire on your back, Sky painted black
Guessing the turns fireflies burn

Oh the gift of youth!  Full of zest that we can lit up the sky like fireflies.  May you continue to believe in fireflies...

Gold-stamped

Captured by those who so unknowingly make this pocket of time so worth it.

Thanks to hubby's new found friend Yeye and his wife Gigi, we found another reason to like and remain grateful to Singapore - the West Coast. We like it here! It's a newly upgraded park with newly installed play equipment for kids and neatly combed grass. But what draws me closer to it is the boulevard. It has a unique perfection with the massive metal body of its shipyard against the playful toss of the small bancas / motorboats. The picturesque sight is wrapped by glittering smiles of families having a stroll. Some looked so at home and started owning time with folded legs and uninterrupted conversations with loved ones. 

Hubby's all in his element also

I think he misses this air so much! I shall let him own this time and be intimate with his brush, watercolor tubes, water and the West Coast muse. 

Here are some more pretty chatters from West Coast

And some small details that reached my heart
