Just You And Me - Zee Avi
You were sitting at the coffee table
where you’re reading Kierkegaard
Minutes later, you proceeded to say
something that almost broke my heart
You said, “Darling, I am tired of livin’ my routined life.
There’s so much in the world that i’d like
to soak up with my eyes.”
Well, baby I never did stop you from going out to explore
We can do it all together from the colds of the poles
to the tropics of Borneo
Ba da da ba da…
Let’s pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin’
where we can finally
be where we’d like to be
Darlin’, just you and me
Just you and me…
So Darlin’, what do you say?
Does that sound like a plan to you?
We can build our own little world
where no one can come through
We can live in huts made out of grass
we can greet father time as he walks pass
we can press feet into the dirt
a little mud, no, it wouldn’t hurt
Ba da da ba da ba…
Let’s pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin’
where we can finally
be where we’d like to be
Darlin’, just you and me
Just you and me..
More gorgeous designs??
Jess, have obviously been getting busy with her jewellery designs. I checked her page last nite and found that she has few new 'beauties' on the line.. Perempuan ni memang sangat2 ber-dedikasi!
She used pliers to make this flower pendant. The bluish-green stone used is an Azurite.
Opulent Beaded Smoky Agate Necklace
The gorgeous blend of colors on the necklace enhances the smooth texture of this smoky agate pendant. The double straps are strung using superstrong fishing line. Composition of different beads and sizes such as gold metal tubes, wooden beads and polished cat's eye chips lend to the uniqueness of the necklace, while metallic multi-toned black, brown and faint pink hexcut beads are accompanied by black seed beads.
A textured golden metal disc hangs on the other end of the necklace adding another area of interest while it's weight allows it to hang nicely at the nape of the neck.
The tassle of cat-eye chips at the end of the pendant provides movement to enhance the character of this piece of jewelry.
It's circumference measuring 64cm, the necklace is long enough to easily slip over the head. Quite a weighty piece, this necklace drapes beautifully against curves of a woman's body. Pendant measures 4cm.
Autumnal Carnelian and Agate Necklace
This lovely carnelian and agate with brass hoop necklace is a reflection of autumn. The rectangular red-brown carnelian pendant was strung with tigertail and hangs from a gold clam-shell bead tip. The necklace is made of brass hoops, handwired with multi-toned agate beads and brass chains with a gold toggle clasp.
Agate is said to protect the wearer from danger, encourage boldness and stimulate success. It has been used to cure insommia ,to ensure pleasant dreams and to relieve stress.
Carnelian is said to stimulate analytical capabilities and precision. It provides perceptiveness and awakens one's inherent talents and skills while also protecting the wearer against fear and rage.
Pendant measures 3.5cm and 2.5cm while necklace measures 45cm long.
Brass Wirewrapped Flower Pendant on Chain Necklace
A great gift for a young lady or for anyone who wants to feel uplifted. The gold and brown hues captivate the spirit of autumn.
The six individual brass petals are wire wrapped into a flower with a golden spiral stigma. It hangs from a brass chain measuring 45cm long. Diameter of the flower is 4.5cm.
Good things must always be shared so we will spread all the goodness around like a MAD COW DISEASE :-)..Go check her ETSY page for more designs and choices ..

Connect the Dots..
I 'curi' this from my cousin's Nizie's note on FB.. I like it a lot.. Thanks Niz.. this is so inspirational!
I think I have read this article million times since Jobs spoke to the undergraduates of Stanford University in 2005. But somehow, it has always been my all time favourite and recently it has inspired more than I can imagine. try to internalize it n be amazed.Enjoy reading and sharing..
“You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future,” says Jobs. “You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
Jobs believes that everything happens for a reason and although that reason may be hard to see at the time, sometimes you need to just sit back and have faith that things will work out in the end. Trusting your own decisions is often one of the most difficult but necessary and rewarding experiences.
When Jobs enrolled in college at the age of 17, he did not know what he wanted to do with his life and with the expensive tuition at Reed, he was spending all of his working-class parents’ savings trying to figure it out. “I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok,” he recalls. “It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.”
Dropping out of university allowed Jobs to stop taking the required courses and begin attending ones that he found more interesting. One of these was a calligraphy instruction class, where Jobs learned about serif and san serif typefaces, spacing between different letter combinations and about how to make beautiful typography. Jobs didn’t understand at the time how this might be helpful, but he decided to follow his interests nonetheless.
Ten years later, when Jobs and Wozniak were designing the first Macintosh computer, he remembered his calligraphy lessons. He decided to incorporate the fonts he had learned about into the Mac. “It was the first computer with beautiful typography,” says Jobs. “If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.” While it was impossible to connect the dots at the time, in hindsight, Jobs says that everything became clear.
A similar experience occurred years later when Apple’s board of directors ousted Jobs from his position at the company. A clash of vision left Jobs unemployed at 30. “What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating,” he recalls. For months, he struggled with his fate and began to feel like a very public failure. But, slowly, Jobs began to realize that although he was fired, he still had a passion for computers and so he decided to start over.
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me,” says Jobs. “It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” Jobs went on to create NeXT and Pixar and eventually returned to Apple when it purchased NeXT.
“It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it,” says Jobs. “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.”
To all out there.. "It's always the darkest before dawn! " - Keep the faith.. HUGS!
