Heart full of gratitude

August 19, 2018 /

Very thankful…

AND it’s official… OneClickWonders Productions are sponsoring our second kid and her family in Indonesia. Never in my mind would I think we could have enough financially to do that. It has been a huge step of faith and we are filled with gratitude. If you would like to give, please do consider sponsoring a child from Compassion.

August, a month of thankfulness

It has been a heck of a crazy month! And guess what? The week has not even ended yet. Been in the office editing for 36 hrs and counting, slept less than 5 hrs in total, was about to morph into a cocoon but thankfully Silver brought me out into the sun for dinner today. So I’m feeling a little defrosted at the moment which is awesome!

Thank you Jesus for Ketones if not I am so dead!

Things I am grateful for and fighting the fear monster

As they always say, list down what you are grateful for and there is no space for fear.

  • I’m grateful for supporting families and friends who constantly check in on us. You all know who you are
  • Super grateful to be sharing our beautiful office space with our partner with a crazy beautiful heart, you are truly amazing and unbelievable (big love you!!!)
  • Grateful for clients who are super supportive of us and what we do, who keeps giving us business and trusting us to do crazy experimental styles in our productions and still pay us for it. For refusing discounts because they wanna support our cause of sponsoring charities and kids with part of our profits.

It’s thanks to you guys in our lives, we get to live the crazy dream of changing the world, one kid at a time. We owe everything we are able to do to you guys!!

  • And most of all, thank you God who has been ever so faithful in all things and for sending all these angels to us!!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.. and let's change the world, one kid at a time.

So my strategy to fight fear is to always be grounded in gratitude. Do you have a way to starve off fear? Let me know!

With much love, Sam~

There IS more!

July 13, 2018 /

So it’s the end of conference and I am so filled to the brim. I’m actually overflowing. It’s gonna take me weeks or even months to decompress and digest everything I’ve seen, envisioned and heard.

It felt like the whole conference was centred on what I prayed for before I came. Centred on my state of being.

My heart and soul was brought to places Ive never seen or been or felt.. just one touch was needed.

It was so clear, every word, none wasted.. of lost love and lost joy and getting it back.

Of missed opportunities and lost dreams, but held in the hands of the Redeemer of time and space and circumstances.

I’m ready to go again.. I’m ready to soar again. I am ready to dream again.

I am emptied, refreshed, refuelled, reorganized and ready.

Most of all. I know I am so so loved.. yes.. There IS More!!

What is it like to marry a photographer? (Part 1)

July 4, 2018 /

Loads of Instagram worthy photos! My ig looks like an influencer’s ig! Amazing locations and sponsors throwing things my direction. Super confident and super used to being in front of the camera, having an ever ready smile and pose.

Not..

if you know me well or look at Daniel’s Instagram, you will notice that I am a unicorn, a rare occurrence of his feed. Not cos he is not proud of me, (damn he is too proud of me sometimes I get uncomfortable) but I am painfully shy in front of the camera.

But what is it like to be dating a photographer? Or even married to one?

I always get this question, “Daniel shoot so many chio bu (@oneclickwonders) and you are okay with that? Won’t insecure meah?”

I think I am blessed. Blessed with a hubby who sees me for more then I see myself. Is there insecurities? Of cos! Have we fought about it before? Yes! Then what changed?

As time pass, and we get mature, we learn to be less reactive and more objective. Daniel has a gift and it is up to me to not be in the way to hinder that gift. And I think after coming to terms with that, we enjoy our time when work and play.

Plus he is a very professional creative and his eye of beauty is not tainted. The trust we have is not blind faith and trust. I remember at the beginning, when I was very insecure, he invites me to his shoot to just hang.

And every time without fail, all these drop dead gorgeous girls will tell me how much they know about me cos Daniel just would not shut up about how awesome his girlfriend is. That meant a lot to me. Him feeling proud of me and telling everyone that does help in my insecurities.

So is it exciting to date or marry a photographer, yes cos you never know what that brings you. And I am so glad I took up the courage to chase him and he had the patience to deal with my crazy. Thank you Daniel, for letting me be me..

Pre-conference *helpppp*

July 1, 2018 /

Pre-conference

I am afraid of a lot of things. But my biggest insecurity, is insecurity. I am insecure about how I look, how I should act, how I come across to others, how people think of me, basically me as a personal identity.

Can I be real guys? Yes I go through an identity crises almost on a daily basis.

NOoooo… I hear. That cannot be!

I am very close to a full mental melt down now and the last few weeks have proven to be tough. I have been questioning everything I think, do or say. I question my purpose in life, my beliefs and my values and even my self-worth. This question was constantly in my mind. What difference would I make in the world if I am dead or alive? Not a morbid issue but more of an existential issue.

Am I gonna be ever good enough? Am I doing enough?

As we are leaving for conference in 2 weeks, maybe I would find a world for the season if maybe it will all work out. *shrugs

Half year mark

June 1, 2018 /

We have reached the middle of 2018. The year of new beginning. It has been half a year since our office and it has been a month since Daniel quit his job to join me full time.

Am I afraid? I am freaked out! His job was kinda cushy and it was the backbone of how OCW got so far the last 2 years.

With this reduced income, how will we fair? I actually don’t know! But what fun is life without a little uncertainty? But maybe this is too much uncertainty. I had encouraged him to go ahead and leave asap. But was that a wise choice? I guess the jury is still out there! If we survive, I think it will be all worth it!

But if not, I dont dare to think about it to be honest. So here goes nothing!

 

A change of pace, with ketones?

June 1, 2018 /

This is something new, a new productivity! Very strange but very exciting at the same time! Maybe we have stumbled on to something new? Maybe this is a new lifestyle we can adopt? So what is this? Welcome to the world of Ketones!

The keto lifestyle! With the help of a ketones supplements of cos (I tried traditional keto diet years ago,and failed big time)

But today was hella weird! The productivity and clarity of what i need to get done as well as the speed I get shit done, unreal!

I am now currently still in the office at 2am, after editing 2 videos and emailing a ton of backlogged quotation, i am still very much alive and functioning. 

Maybe its the placebo effect? Only time will tell. But it has been too long since I felt so alive! 

So here is my first test of a ketones supplement called Pruvit and first feels about it. I have never heard of this in Singapore before till now.

Raspberry ketones from Pruvit

How to drink ketones?

Just add to a bottle of water and shake! A word of caution though, the ketones powder is very fine, so it carries pretty well in the air when you pour it out. I unintentionally snorted a little and choked a little.

How does this ketones taste?

SWEET!!! A little too sweet for my liking but nothing more ice and water can’t solve. I tried the Raspberry Lemonade and I quite like it! There is this other flavor called Swiss Cacao on the store but I will wait till it comes next month.

First thoughts

I actually felt a fog lift when I took the second sip. It was a strange feeling, like my head gets a little lighter. But these are just first thoughts.

I will maybe write more about it when I try it on a longer term.

One year married and still crazy in love~

May 13, 2018 /

It felt like yesterday where we had our wedding in the arts house. And in this year, so much had happened already! Many people ask me if there is any difference after I got married. I would say yes! Not that we take each other for granted or something but there is a finality that he is mine, all mine to love and be loved.

But there is always this fact that I hold very close. Even though I know Daniel is a fiercely loyal man and I don’t have to worry about him straying even though he hangs out with models and pretty girls, there must always be an understanding that everyone has a chance or potential to cheat but it is a matter of choice. A choice to either cheat or a choice to stay loyal. And there are many things affecting the choice. But that is another post for another time.

But knowing that there is this potential helps us not take each other for granted and helps us to be grateful.

I think the most important elements to make a relationship work is gratefulness, trust and fun. If you can have fun together, there is not a mountain too high for both of you to conquer.

So yes, here is to my ever patient, endearing and funny hubby. I love ya more then I realise I do!

Happy birthday

May 1, 2018 /

Is there one person who you know will always have your back?

One that will love you unconditionally but at the same time makes sure that you become the best person you can be?

If you have someone like that you are blessed!

And I am super blessed to have such a person I can call my best friend, my rock and my hubby!

Happy birthday baby! I always count my blessing that you are here with me no matter what.

How can people find their passions so early in life and pursue it and I’m here still bumbling in life

April 12, 2018 /

I posted this on fb and got a lot of calls and DMs asking me if I was okay.

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions and words of wisdom guys.

This is not an emotional post not was it a call for help don’t worry guysssss…

It was just a thought that came to mind when I see a bunch of youngsters so passionate about one thing and watching them put all their might into it, I just wondered where did this energy I once possessed had gone. It just feels like they can be whatever they want to be as long as they put their heart and soul into it. Maybe some level of “projection into the universes and get what you want” kinda thing?

Don’t get me wrong. I am happy with life, I have achieved alot in my 32 years and I am not fearful of anything. Neither am I gonna close down my beloved company cos I very much love what I do. I’m also learning many new things and gaining experience.

I’m not asking for a pat on the back nor am I pity party kinda person. Those who know me well know that I hate to seek attention.. especially superficial ones. So I do take all the advices to heart and more often then not it’s an awesome reminder..

I love the discussion and I love the ideas and am super thankful for all the edifying moments.

I really appreciate it. so keep discussion open, don’t need to fix me.. cos I am not broken.. hehehe.. a little strange and cray but not broken.. lol..
