THOUGHT of the Day: Judging by the book cover

When i first saw this picture, it looks like some crooks trying to do something to the soldier. Yes i used the word Crooks. Sorry that i have to admit that i am not perfect and i tend to stereotype at times. Hm, won't you too? 

How many times have we come to a conclusion of our own after we see just a small part of the whole picture. It could only be a small piece of the whole jigsaw puzzle, and yet, we pre-concluded. 

Its like: when you dont see me drink water in front of you, you concluded that i dont drink much water. Or when i picked my vegs, and your conclusion is that i dont take veggies. And I snack in front of you often, doesnt give you the right to conclude that i eat unhealthily. 

No, i am not referring to anyone in particular, just some little thoughts about how human beings judge. 

So when i read the captions of this picture, i realised that once again, i judged. But the truth of the matter is that i am still a work in progress. A human that tries to be like Christ, not judging, always loving. And to love people with the love of Christ is never easy, but i believe that my God will give me the strength to love, no matter what. 

Recently i had wanted to cook a meal for my family and told my domestic help about my plans and she went "Mdm, you  can cook meh?" She's been with me for 2yrs now and thru these 2yrs, i have nvr cook in front of her, so her conclusion is that her mdm doesnt know how to cook. So, isit true? Not true. I dont do something in front of you, doesnt mean i DONT do it. And the truth is that i do know how to cook. And i have whipped a handful of meals for hub way before my domestic help joined. Its just that i choose not to. 

So, if i dont do house chores in front of you, doesnt give you the right to conclude that i DONT do them. 

Oh, i wasnt referring to you, yup, not you. :) Just saying. 

And no, i am not upset with such people, just amazed. 

Let's try not to judge a book by its cover. I am definitely more that what you see. 

QUOTE of the day

I decided to start a series of posts with the titles "________ of the day". It can be anything as long as its something from my heart, i will post. I promise that it wont be long post, unless needed. This "________" can be outfit, thought, quote, word, action and anything everything! I hope through my "________ of the day" you will be blessed and benefit from it, somehow.

I will start with QUOTE of the day. 

To revive this blog was never an easy decision. Why? Simply because i think i have failed enough to not want another failure. So it seems like there's no leeway to fail for reviving my blog. 

In the past, i have tried many new things, but to my wonder, they never take off. I wonder why. Have i not prayed enough? Have i not put in efforts enough? Or what?? So i came to a stage of frustrations especially when ideas for the blog keep coming to me, but yet i was hesitating to restart it. 

But, i am glad that i did. :) 

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." 

If you dont try, you dont know. So i am glad that i decided to give it a try. And believe me, i am tryin my best to be committed to blogging as much as i can. I cant promise every day a new post, but am trying every week once at least. Do bear with me if there are any imperfections in my writing or photo posted, i am still very much a work-in-progress. :) 

So, are there things that you have been wanting to do? But somehow you lack that guts, that courage and even faith in yourself to do it. Be encouraged by this quote, that if you never decide to try, you will not reach that stage of accomplishments. So wear that coat of courage and do what you need/want to do. 

Jia you! 

OOTDs

If you haven noticed, it wont be hard to know that i love fashion. I do not count myself as any fashion expert or guru but i think i do have some fashion sense. :)

My fashion sense is basically very SIMPLE. Yes, literally SIMPLE. I am seldom seen in anything not simple like floral print, loud designs etc. Love it when its simple but yet it exhibits some form of classy and chic feel. :) 

Top & Skort: Both H&M, Necklace: from Taiwan, Bag: Celine. 

I frequent H&M a lot and thats bcos i have been receiving gift cards for my bdays for past 2 yrs and i totally enjoy it! Haha.. Why? Simply because i love H&M clothes! Wow, like entering into some competition by them. Lol... 

So i wanted to try this this casual top and formal skirt, and in order to save time, i decided to try them together. To my mini surprise, i realised that do match each other! The top though is a little casual but if pair with this skirt, it does balance out a little, making it less casual. Good for office wear and casual meet ups! 

I tried pairing it with a neon top and wore to office. People say they need shades before they can talk to me! Lol.. Oh well. 

Well this photo doesnt quitw do justice to the colour, but let me tell you, the real colour is really bright! Hmm i think i should have taper it off a little by wearing a darker colour necklace. Hm.. 

Anyway, another look for the casual top:

This photo cant really tell that i am wearing a skort actually. Apologies and i think maybe i should have a close up photo on the skort. My bad. 

Next up, 

Top & Shorts: Both from Bugis Village, necklace: from Taiwan, Arm accessories : Too long ago, cant recall where it was bought from, shoes: from Malaysia, Bag: Celine. 

I seldom wear this pair of short because to be honest, it looks nice and classy but the material is the pokey pokey kind, so it isnt that comfy. But i do love that classy chanel feel. As for the top, this is what i mean by simple outfit yet theres a tinge of classy and sexiness in it. In this case, both sleeves and waist area are see throughs, making the wearer give out a boring yet sexy feel. I like! 

Top: H&M, Skirt: Stradivarius, Necklace: Mphosis, Shoes: from Msia, Bag: Celine. 

I had wanted to pair this black skirt with a formal white collared shirt. But aftr much thought through, i decided to go with a denim shirt instead. Why? Because if its black and white, its dull and boring. With blue and black, it helps a little visually. I decided to go with the all gold Victorian neck candy to ad tinge of life and colour to the whole outfit. 

Top: Cotton On, Skort: Temt, Necklace: from Taiwan, Shoes: frm Msia, Bag: Celine. 

This is one of my fav in my photos here. I feel that somehow it makes me look slimmer. Heheh. Thats what we ladies want right. This outfit is comfy and effortlessly chic! 👍

And finally the last one: 

Top: Cotton On, Skirt & Necklace: Mphosis, Shoes: from Msia, Bag: Celine. 

Besides black colour, i also love stripes,  anything stripey attracts me. I wonder why, lol. For this outfit, the white skirt can be dull and boring if paired win another plain top. So i decided to go with this stripe top and together with a gold necklace to add colour to it. I think it would be better if the neckace is more colourful,  but bcos i only have a few necklace, so... Maybe i shall get more necklaces! Shopping time! Again. :) 

So these are afew of my OOTDs i wore recently. I hope you have enjoyed reading as much as i enjoyed sharing! 

Til the next post! ✌
