left to interpret the dreams of others

waiting for his own to be realised

and finding it was there all along

a soulful art book
mused in strokes and colours

the concept of home
and the comfort of being home
must surely also be shaped
by a transcendent love and architect.

thank you for creating and sharing
your art with the world! 💕💫

Cherishing this week spent ushering in the Lunar New Year. Most days we’re so spent by evening time but the 2 day PH meant we got to sleep in as well instead of waking up jumping into our anxious morning rush.

It’s the year of the horse but maybe we can just trot instead of galloping/racing all the time.😅 Hope everyone’s having a nice time wherever they are~

back to making small worlds again,
this time for someone
who wore my dove brooch to his wedding.
now a botanical friend joins him!

ever grateful for such kind opportunities 🙏🏻

back in the garden 🗿💚

the thing about pruning

is that sometimes you have to cut even the most beautiful leaves away.
they’re growing but branching further out in the wrong direction.
they look perfect but upon closer inspection it’s riddled with a malicious disease.

“But they took so long to grow this much,” you utter justifications to let it stay as-is.
“But what does it matter, if it’s going to hurt the rest of the plant?” the other voice coaxes.

The blade closes in fully as the stem gives way.
You let out a sigh of relief.

Now,
we grow again.

eve, awaits 😌🎄❣️

📍🕳️🌙〰️

curves at every corner

A month has rolled by since we moved in.
It’s a new space, but the same old rhythms still inhabit the day-to-day. A cup of teh in the morning before the mad rush of the day sweeps in, the waking up at 3am, making sure everything is in the right place, asking myself if things can be better. Then an old song plays, a look out at the sky grounds me.

Slowly but surely.

我们家的点点滴滴🫧🤲🏻

Our way of bidding a good farewell, by soaking in moments spent in this home one last time. 7 years in these walls just isn’t enough —- it was hard to say goodbye knowing that we all grew up here, from being a newly wed couple and first time homeowners to pawrents of a new puppy, to waiting for a child for many years and then being blessed with not one, but two. God saw us through many seasons here, and when I look back, time seems to move fast and stand still all at once.

I’ll never forget the feeling of peace when we first stepped into this flat after searching for so long, and thinking, “This is the one.”

We spent the morning doing our usual rounds, helping Papa with his coffee prep, remembering to water the plants, playing together with Olive by our side. It was chaotic and calm at the same time —- just like how we’ll remember these days.

Big hearty thanks to for these lovely captures so we will always have these precious glimpses of our first home to hold onto 💕

One week and a step away from saying goodbye to our matrimonial home.

Too many memories and emotions to process at this point, but it’s like leaving someone who’s grown with you through many seasons of life.

悲しい---💔😭
