In times of need

I wanna pray for those who's in times of need. The need of a peace of mind during painful breakups, witnessing loved ones with agonising illness and those who are under constant pressure and suffering self-doubts. May the Lord our God provide you with assurance that all things are in His hands. Though at times like this you may question the existence of the Lord, but He is with you, always, as He promised. Have faith in our one and only Father, and believe.

In Your most precious name. Amen.

to give thanks

Thank you all.

I'm electrified with this hearty sense of gratefulness. No experience is bad experience as God assures us. Every drop of tears and every moment of joy is captured and valued. At times of lows there are people who would give you a pat on the back. At times of rage there be a cup of soy latte. And at times of confusions there will have answers.

Although one may think that I've exaggerated a little. Ineluctablely, there are many things one would deal with on oneself, and more often, these are the things that trouble our lives. I'd love to think I have all things controlled around me. However, we all know that is unrealistic and foolish. However, we should never put ourselves down by all means. These moments of challenge and struggles are magic ingredients that make our lives so tasteful.

Love love.

Salvado Dali

Some of the remarkable pieces from Salvador Dali, as appraised, from the Dali exhibit held in the National Gallery Australia.

It was an overwhelming intellectual challenge to extract the heart and soul from each magnificent piece. The preciseness of each brush stroke, the surrealistic mix of textures and forms and the tortuousness of ideas depicted in such a cunning way. It would definitely worth visiting again.

Will definitely visit again.

Self-portrait with the Neck of Raphael, 1921

The Anthropomorphic Cabinet, 1936

The Hand, 1930

Soft Self-portrait with Grilled Bacon, 1941
(One question being asked if actual eyes were casted, what do you think?)

Christ of Saint John of the Cross, 1951
(I personally adore this piece in how he rendered the crucifiction of Jesus Christ with such graceful manner.)
