The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.Proverbs 4:18 (NLT)
Eyes to the mountains
Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.Psalm 121：1-2 (NIV)
(Extra)ordinary
This photo was taken with me standing under the umbrella when there was a thunderstorm in my town. If you live in the South East Asia, raining probably isn’t something extraordinary, but if you have endured weeks of hot weather and disturbing haze from forest fire, a rain is like an extraordinary gift you’ve been waiting for. Besides, I do like the smell of rain, somehow.

给正在奋斗的你
你脸上云淡风轻，谁也不知道你的牙咬得多紧。你笑得没心没肺，没人知道你哭起来只能无声落泪。你必须非常努力，才能让人觉得你毫不费力。度过一段自己都能感动的日子。之后，你想要的岁月统统会还给你。
—给正在奋斗的你
Serene
Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.

A New Year and Another Chance
Experienced with the rather scary situation downtown (with the fireworks aiming at people instead of the sky and smoke filling the square and streets), we chose a small hill overlooking the river this time. Turned out, people were playing wildly and it was smoky and a little bit dangerous too.
Ah well, it was a new year countdown.
Usually I’m able to sort of guess the agenda of the year, like, I’m going to get to the next year of my studies in the summer, if things go well. But this year, as I’m graduating, my future remains scarily unclear. This year will bring a lot of new experience, but also a tremendous amount of uncertainty, which to be honest, is extremely unnerving for me. I do hope that I will be pleasantly surprised this year, like I did in 2014 😉
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right

The White Enchantment
The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

Warmth in a Winter Day
A cup of coffee…
… in a nice quiet cafe…
That’s quite a good source of warmth in a cold winter day…

How many (Merry Christmas!)
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Lyrics from How Many Kings
This is the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
