Stitched them together for a better view. Go on, clikity click it.

A view of Lake Chuzenji in segments.
I absolutely love this place.

The Bigger Picture

Sometimes, its good to take a step back, to look at the bigger picture.
No doubt the minuscule detail you're looking so intently at is an artwork by itself, but you could be missing out on a whole bunch of other details if you miss viewing them from a larger perspective.

Interestingly, my tolerance & stress levels are being pushed to the test with the amount of work commitments I've taken on. I think I am now able to relate to what a headless chicken feels like when its running around! plus I feel a little less human & a little more robot-like with the 7 day work-work schedule I have now =------=""

With that, I've decided to try to take a deep breath........(counting to 10)
& focus on the main goal at hand, instead of worrying about every other little detail along the way.

It may sound like common sense now when you're calm & reading this, but trust me, when you've got a uber tight, make it spandex-tight (don't ask me where that came from :P) deadline for a project you've just been briefed for, about 10 minutes ago, let's see you not flail around madly!

I'm not saying I've mastered the art of being calm in the midst of a storm but at the very least, I'm learning to swim real fast after being thrown into the deep blue sea!

Picture Caption: Little did I know I was being photographed whilst I was focusing on the magnificent mountains of Nikko, Japan in early winter.

p/s- posts might be a little sporadic but I will persevere!
Shall update here whenever I can! :D

Hugs to all,
Lynn

Note: Thank you, bunny :D I'm learning!

OH HAI flickr!

Status update: Am currently rushing to meet Jinjerup's new range deadline, veggie patch + catch up on my little mountain of reading material due at work tomorrow! arhhhhh!! Longer posts when I'm a little free-er! hugs* Meanwhile, here's a look at the places I wish I could zip on over to right now.























1. Lake Chuzenji in Nikko, Japan.
Its cool mountain wind from the lake was wonderfully soothing. It almost felt as if all thoughts & worries could've been swept away. The waters, due to the strength of the wind, glint every once in awhile from being touched by the sun. I could've sat on that pier for the whole day.

























2. Temple area in Nikko, Japan.
Luscious mountain greens towering above you whilst you stroll, whispers of the wind rustling amongst their leaves. Most of the temples are placed near enough for you to walk but yet far enough for you to contemplate whilst doing so. Just picturing it again calms me down. I have made a promise to try to visit this very spot again in my lifetime. (It's personal)




























3. A cliff overlooking a valley in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia during sunrise.
(Note: would only like to be here during the break of dawn, other times of day would be either too hot or too cumbersome with the amount of commercialism it now has to offer) Standing there for over an hour just to catch a brief glimpse this was one of the most breathtaking moments of last year. Looking back, I am glad I got a chance to watch the valley sleepily shrugging off its misty coat to reveal the wakening of life beneath.
