It’s a magical moment to be up above the clouds. ☁️

So, when was the last time you climbed Mount Kinabalu?

It’s 4AM and before I start my weekend with another flurry of work and events, I wanted to post this up over my business page - the page that is open to friends , family as well as strangers alike - to read about not just my business or work related self … but snippets of my private life which I usually keep in a close journal as therapy for me when I need to pen down my musings.

This early morning post is about this decade old drum set.

This electronic drums was something I sought permission to buy from Azmi. I took drum lessons before marrying him, but never had the space to own a set.

But when we moved in together at our home we decided to buy 11 years ago, I coaxed him to agree to it and whilst he hesitated at first - he gave in and took charge looking for one that I could beat the sh*t out of, without causing lawsuits from neighbours (hence the decision to go electronic)

I could use it while I spun music from my DJ decks and it was snug enough to fit into the room which was meant for storage - not knowing God would bless us with more children and a pandemic that would lead us to pivot into creating a livestream studio to sustain our business.

He had told me to sell it off second hand - and I kept coming up with excuses that perhaps the boys would use it someday … or that it was too old and outdated “no one would buy it so best we just keep it”

Truth is?

Letting it go was like letting go of a dream in completing my music lessons which I had put a cork in the bottle upon finding out I was pregnant with Iman.

As time passed on, blessed with more children and different situations that made us have to change business strategies along the way, my music hobby was getting pushed lower down the priority list as more and more items on my “to do list” grew and climbed on top.

My children says I’m not fun anymore “you’re always working mama” and last night, as I went to put Ilon to sleep promising to sit with the older kids for our weekly Friday Family movie nights (a ritual we have started to keep the children’s sanity in check during this gloomy pandemic) , I am devastated as I ended up falling asleep halfway while working and breastfeeding Ilon.

They say you must find balance in life. Work, love and play.

I don’t know how to do that anymore.

How many of you feel that this pandemic has just made you become a work zombie?

Anyone up at this hour?

Shall take a cold shower now. I’ve got a show to run in 6 hours and I’ve not done a flow yet.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

With this view, we can never get tired of hiking too. 😉

📍 Kulanga Hill, Keningau

In my life, outdoor activities are one of my favorite activities, traveling to places of tourism, hills, forests and nature is the main place to find peace and enjoyment of healthy living..

I have climbed @kulangahills several times but never felt bored due to the challenge of climbing, tired that is worth it when arrive at the top of the hill,when you can see the beautiful scenery around keningau from here.

歡迎光臨~我是樂筆！

記得大一北上讀大學時，我常因想家、想爸媽偷偷在被子裡哭，當時D床的雲林女孩常攀越床板爬來C床，輕聲溫柔地放了包衛生紙在我的枕頭邊。外宿的記憶隨著日子更迭，默默堆疊；隨時年紀增長，越發增多。

到底一個人住好，還是兩人或以上住好？

過往我一直是喜歡與人相處的陽光個性，但近日搬入女生宿舍後，我才發現自己多麼需要獨處與安靜！！！面對每日生活、休閒、作息、喜好的關切與目光，真讓我好想轉身縮進後方的殼，但一回眸才發現背後空蕩蕩。

然而，兩個人大多時候比一個人好的，因為人本來就需要團隊、需要扶持、需要愛與接納，很開心擁有熱情的新室友們，希望北漂的孩子都跟我們一樣找到好室友、好房子，最最最重要能擁有平安與歸屬感的「家」！

補充：跟新室友們在家裡錄Podcast回音很大，加上天氣熱開了冷氣，真的有點吵，但內容保證輕鬆好笑！希望大家聽完心情愉悅！

Welcome to Sunlight!
When I, as a freshman, flew the nest, I often hid and cried in the quilt due to homesick. The girl from Yunlin often climbed over the bed board, putting down tissue gently beside my pillow.
Memories of living in the dorm are more and more.
Living alone or living with others, which one is better?

I acknowledged myself as a people person in the past. But recently I moved into the new house, I found that how much I needed to stay alone!!!
Facing interpersonal pressure,I want to escape my everyday life, but looking back I find nothing.

However, being with others is usually better than being alone. We all need team, supports, love and acceptance. So glad that I have new roommates.
Hope you, flying the nest like us, find good roommates and house, and most importantly, have peace and "home"!

p.s. Echoes of podcasting are loud in the house. In addition we turn on the air conditioner, so it's noisy a lot, but the content is funny. You have my word! Hope you are pleased after listening!

Lyrics:

It’s all because of your love
這全都是因為你的愛
It’s got me higher than the Eiffel Tower
讓我能爬得比艾菲爾鐵塔還高

I said I told you I was afraid of them heights
我曾告訴你我有懼高症
You said it’s ‘cause I never climbed them with you
你說 那是因為我不曾跟你一起登頂

It’s all because of your love
這全是因為你的愛
It’s got me higher than the Eiffel Tower
讓我能爬得比艾菲爾鐵塔還高

Pray you don’t let me go
我祈禱著你不會放手
‘Cause who’s gonna catch me
因為你是那唯一會接住我的人
When I fall for you
當我深深為你著迷之時
I can’t count on me
我無法再相信自己
When it all comes crashing down
當一切都崩解之時

Au natural high
如此自然快樂
Au natural high
如此怡然自得

The first time that we took a bite
第一次我們一起咬下一口
Could not believe all the dreams that were hidden inside
無法相信藏在內裡的每一個美好夢境
It’s alright, we still can survive
一切都好 我們依然可以活下來
You take my hand, I’m still your man
你牽著我的手 我依然是你的男人
Still we give it a try
我們依然努力嘗試

It’s all because of your love
這全是因為你的愛
It’s got me higher than the Eiffel Tower
讓我能爬得比艾菲爾鐵塔還高

Pray you don’t let me go
我祈禱著你不會放手
‘Cause who’s gonna catch me
因為你是那唯一會接住我的人
When I fall for you
當我深深為你著迷之時
I can’t count on me
我無法再相信自己
When it all comes crashing down
當一切都崩解之時

Au natural high
如此自然快樂
Au natural high
如此怡然自得

Pray you don’t let me go
我祈禱著你不會放手
‘Cause who’s gonna catch me
因為你是那唯一會接住我的人
When I fall for you
當我深深為你著迷之時
I can’t count on me
我無法再相信自己
When it all comes crashing down
當一切都崩解之時


Au natural high (It’s all because of your love)
如此自然快樂(全都是因為你的愛)
Au natural high (It’s all because of your love)
如此怡然自得(全都是因為你的愛)
Au natural high (It’s all because of your love)
如此自然快樂(全都是因為你的愛)
Au natural high (It’s all because of your love)
如此怡然自得(全都是因為你的愛)

Pray you don’t let me go
我祈禱著你不會放手
Who’s gonna catch me
你是那會穩穩接著我的人
When you’ve got me higher than the Eiffel Tower, ohh
當你帶我到比艾菲爾鐵塔更高處之時
