Shouldn't stop you.

Enough. When do we ever have enough of anything?. I feel that there is a tendency that we stop doing what we dream to do or aspire to be because we feel that we haven't got it, nor have enough.

All i know that with whatever i do, its about taking the next step forward. It may be tiny, but significant. Rushing into it wouldn't be beneficial if there is not to be a continual growth. And the next steps would often what be scary. Perhaps a little intimidating but that is the only way to get used to things, to accustom myself to new environments and territories. And it starts from being brave, persistent in your thoughts and actions, being a go getter. The best way to learn is through experience.

AHOY! How is everyone doing? :)

Its just 12 days into the new year!! How quick as it passed. just another 343 days till 2015! Okay im definitely not counting down, but oh wouldn't it just zoom by and shan't we not put any God given day to waste nor laze!

+ This year i am going to grasp sound Opportunities that come my way.

+ Be brave to try new things, to always be learning something new.

( i have a more defined list but as much as i do blog and share, i do have my own private moments ;p)

I feel it is important to look at the positive side of things, instead of letting the fear of your insecurities and doubt take over. Be wise in your research and calculations, and well if you know it is something required of you, listen to that whisper and jump in by faith. People all around would be trying to shovel their opinions as well as use their experience as benchmarks for you, but it is so important to stand firm in what you believe and not waver. All because it would be much more difficult doesn't mean we should not try!

I am so thankful and Glad that KANOE is growing steadily. At basically the rate in which i myself am going. I know what i can do and that i love, enjoy and have been gifted with the ability to make, design and create beautiful things with my entire heart. What i have yet to learn and perhaps what i am not so very good at doing is marketing. I know i must place myself at the best location, but i guess now i am slowly researching on the direction i should take and move towards.

Love making those little Rings that brings a little magic and wonder. A little joy, hope, beauty and love. I love it when people receive their Rings and get the whole experience package of excitement in receiving something warm and of the heart.

This year i want to always look at the bigger picture, to learn to share my dream with others and work with others, and hope that all our dreams can collide into a bigger one that would bring much joy and success!

Perhaps i am a dreamer, who longs for the sea :) 

HELLO SEASPIRATION 2014!

I realized my title is Seaspiration but i had not really talked about anything sea-ish! haha. Perhaps it is the Sea that brings us to wonder and hope, long and wish! :) God makes everything beautiful. 

2014!!!

diving into the unknown.

:D:D I am really excited! This year really did start off with a "Bang!"

So many new things to do, learn, experience and explore! I am really excited!!! Really getting immerse in the arts, designing, as well as my resolution to live under the sea! I'll learn so much this year i know. Im just going to step out in faith and courageously. That is the only way to live.

I really am so glad i am not teaching haha!!! i loved that i did, but i am just so happy now doing what i do. I hope and pray that everything will just fall into place and knowing that God is just always there, and He will always only give me the Bestest! as i willingly Trust His love.

But i know, i really do need to organize myself! So many things everywhere, i am constantly doing something and man, this week has been pretty tiring!. There are many stuff to prepare for!

I pray and hope that really God's favor will fall on me. I just have to be honest.

And this year i'm definitely going to meet my husband. boyfriends don't last. We are just going to get married. Because when I know i Know! I don't really like dilly dallying around. And He will be the Bestest! Okay, i most probably have frightened most of the guys reading this , but whatever, you are most probably not the one i'll marry in this case. HAHA.. okay totally talking a lot of nonsense now. but i am just really excited for the new year! :D:D 

Its funny when you start to step out in faith, things just fall in place. And you constantly are supplied with enough, and with more. Sometimes you just have to do what you feel is the best thing to do in your heart.

To 2014!! :D

It is like walking into the unknown.

Why are we so reluctant to try something new. While starting this whole business thing, its like there are so many decisions to make and sometimes you think "am i making the best decision, choice, etc." But i guess we have to progress and make a decision non the less. And the decision should be to move forward. Not to stagnant nor to turn back.

Just give it a go. Give it your best. Come out with many options give yourself a deadline, and go with the best. I don't want to be to scared to risk it. I do not even know how it would turn out. I guess its like everything else, we just have to believe, believe in ourselves, believe in our product and what we create and want to give to society. Take the leap.

Shape Shifter.

I need to stick to One thing.
One idea. the best one.
And go all in with it.

and just go with the best option of the time. things doesn't have to be perfect , nothing is in the beginning. :)

A morning person.

morning light

Okay, it may seem contradictory as i am writing this at 12.30am but hear me out. I am a morning person. I would rather wake up 5.30am for breakfast than go out to a nice bar at 10pm. I just love the day, and during the night i just love to be at home. If outside, then it would be to look out at the stars or something but that is kinda a silly thing to do in the city. I would rather be at home sewing than out at a fancy restaurant drinking champagne and singing karaoke .

You see the reason why i am still up writing is because i went out to meet with friends, to dine and chat. i love my friends, but once i got home i went straight back to sewing at 11pm+. I guess i just love what i do. And i would rather work on something with someone than just talk with them about the weather and so on so forth.

I have pins on my bed now.. yeah i woke up this morning feeling a prick on my back. I guess, free acupuncture? Need to clean up soon and head of to bed. I did have quite a hefty dessert tonight so the sugar might keep me from sleeping a lil. Its a problem of mine, i am exactly like a kid, just do not feed me sugar at night.

and like a plant, wake up when the sun is up, soak up all the light energy, photosynthesize during the day and when dusk comes and the sun goes to sleep so does Noelle.

Tomorrow is another day and i am excited!, Another thing about me is that i make a schedule for each day because if not i might forget. I have too much thoughts, so schedules really do help me get things done.

This post is pretty much rambles. Must be the Sugar. Sigh.

OMG SLEEP TIME!

December.

If you placed December in Week term, December would be the "weekend". Its just the THAT time of the year!

Probably also my most favorite month of the year. Its like the clearing off of the year in anticipation for the new year :)

On a side note, I've never had a birthday that was not awkward. Born in the middle of December, that is when everyone is on Holidays and getting ready for Christmas, it doesn't even feel right celebrating a birthday ;s..in a way. Anyways!

I remember how usually holidays, i would holiday. But over this 2 years being a teacher i have learnt to use holidays wisely. Perhaps because teaching was rather a relaxing job for me, and during the accumulative 3 months holiday, i question myself, 'what do i do?'.. Its always good to have a plan.

I've learnt that time was not for wasting (neither are holidays) . I could do so much! Why should i waste it watching TV, or scrolling my news feed on Facebook, stalking people etc. If i spend everyday making cookies i bet i'll be a cookie Master in no time. So if i watch Tv everyday i'll most probably be be a Highly Qualified time waster.

But the thing is, if you are working in a very crazy work environment that is extremely demanding and have much of OT's then by all means spend your holidays as you wish! But preferably doing something you love! what you've always wanted to do if you had the time. Catching up with awesome people, Or by relaxing and recuperating before getting back refreshed!

I remember half way through fashion school i when into anti-fashion mode. my final year project if i came to look back at it now, was pretty much in the lines of making that statement. perhaps that is how i am going to do fashion, by not being.

Perhaps i found the industry extremely Ostentatious. So superficial and fake.( maybe i should not look at it this way, there is nothing wrong with having beautiful designs at a beautiful show with beautiful tall and skinny people ). Well, it is also an industry where there are no moral or values that governs it. Its totally up to you. 

 I guess there are a couple of worlds in fashion co-existing, the Ostentatious ones ( all about the who's wearing what, the name, the status, the money, the luxury, the show ), the Subculture ones (goths, rockers, mods, beatniks ), the pirated ones  ( cheap copies of the above ) and the ones who loves beauty in simplicity, designing and making, which imparts into garments ( what i am for ). I guess in this world this is just how design goes in every area. Different, and to each its own.

Lets leave this talk for another post!

Have a happy December :)
