The Happy Smiles of My Family
My family is all I have in hard times. Although life and destiny has separate us apart into different places but there's something called love to hold us together.
It's been ages that my mom and grandma never been to Penang to visit me. I'm glad that finally they able to make it last week. Everyone temporarily let go their work and what we do is just to have fun together. To search good food around the island, to enjoy the precious moment with each other. There's nothing but only laughters and happiness when each time we spend time together.
Brought my mom and grandma to Straits Quay with my sis for a high tea.
My mom's smile is irreplaceable to me.
Grandma was having her good time in Penang.
Smiles from my sis <3
When things go wrong in life, just look around you to see who are always there for you and you will see that among everyone else your parents are always there. Family is members that love you and care for you, no matter what choices you make in your life even if they don't agree with the choices, they will always stand by you.
I love my family. Without them, there's no me. =)

Why Do You Judge Me?
You have not walked in my shoes
You have not been down my road.
You have not cried my tears.
You have not carried my load.
Why do you judge me?
You think you know my story.
You think you know my pain.
You think you know my future.
You don’t even know my name.
Why do you judge me?
You were not there to see me stumble.
You were not there to see me fall.
You were not there to pick me up.
You were not there at all.
Why do you judge me?

Finding Pleasure In Simple's Thing
These past few years, there's been a large movement towards simplicity. People are finding that less equals more in regards to time and happiness. The same is true for pleasure – the simple things are often the most pleasurable and bring about the most joy.
Many of my favorite simple pleasures don't cost a thing – like hiking in the woods or settling into a tub of hot bath water and bubbles by candlelight or sitting out on the deck with my Kindle in one hand and a glass of water with a thick lemon wedge in the other or browsing through my local bookstore.
What are you favorite simple pleasures? Do you enjoy sleeping in on a cloudy Saturday morning? Or maybe you enjoy cuddling with your favorite furry pet.
Now that you you have your simple pleasure juices flowing, make a list of your favorites. Now go to your calendar and schedule a few into you day. Try adding a few simple pleasures into one day. Sprinkling these simple pleasures throughout the day reminds you to invite pleasure into your day – regardless of how busy it is or whether or not it's not going so well for you at the moment.

Audrey Hepburn, The Forever Legend
I had just draw a picture which is inspired by Audrey Hepburn in the movie of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
When people hear the name Audrey Hepburn, the words beauty, style and grace come to mind. Others know her as cute and flirty characters from movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sabrina. However, Audrey’s life amounted to more than just a big screen entertainer or fashion leader. She was a dignified, compassionate and selfless woman who was beautiful beyond the physical sense. Long before Oprah, Madonna or Angelina and Brad, she helped children in Africa and Latin-America. Audrey Hepburn remains a beloved icon with proven success as an actress, dancer, singer, speaker and UNICEF’s most famous Ambassador. She lived her life by the philosophy of serving others. As she once said, “Remember; if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others” (Bourgoin). Audrey Hepburn dedicated herself to aiding those in need while living a remarkable life as a true humanitarian and an inspiration to people around the world.
She won many awards for her works including an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Roman Holiday, a Tony Award for her performance in Ondine, a Theater World Award for her work on Broadway in the play, Gigi, amongst many other honors. During these times, she became an idol of many young girls and women who admired her unique, elegant style. The public truly adored her talent, beauty and glamour. Audrey was proud of her accomplishments; however, she felt that she needed to do more with her life.

Hepburn knew she could use her fame to help others. The press constantly asked the movie star for interviews and to give her opinions on a variety of topics. She became well-known for her wisdom and for having a positive outlook. Audrey’s basic philosophies of having a sense of self and personal style, a good attitude, living without regret and working hard were often publicized. Meanwhile, Audrey also began talking about “having a purpose” and “giving back.” Her desire to help others became apparent. While many fans just wanted fashion advice, she was more focused on sharing deep and inspirational thoughts, or informing society about the terrible conditions that children in Africa were forced to live in.
Growing up without a father, living through the Nazi invasion, and dealing with the demands of fame, all contributed to her dedicated work ethic and personal outlook. Marked by challenges, her young life taught her many things about hope, commitment, and serving others in a pure and selfless way.
Audrey Hepburn was more than just a Hollywood star, she was an inspiration who lived her life in the most meaningful way.
She is fondly remembered saying, “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone” (Keough 163). These are the words of a true hero.
