Serendipity

"Music soothes my soul, like words clears my mind,

And when I sing,  it tunes my woes away,

When I play, it resonates with my inner peace,

When I dance, it stirs the rhythm of my heart

to serendipity. " ~ Grace Ann

Nelson Mandela Lesson from Boyd Varty

Once in a while I turn to my TedTalks App on my Samsung Note for some inspirational juice and I was browsing through the topics. Nelson Mandela, a prominent figure, a life changer has recently passed away.
I was curious to know if this man Boyd Varty is speaking from a face to face encounter with him or like the rest of us, who knows him by reading.

He did have a soft spot for Madiba because he has literally seen and spoken to him. I liked the way he spoke with his hands movement, it's like story telling. Spoken from the heart, I hope you will be encouraged by his experiences.





One of the quotes from Nelson Mandela that I like and feel the same. Having the courage to fight through the wrongs in this world and stand for what you believe in is in itself a victory over fear.

 It's knowing when to speak that depicts humility, when to stay silent that makes us meek.

Nokia Lumia 520 Review

Nokia Lumia 520 is an entry level smartphone packed with features suited for a practical user. Looking sleek in its squarish form and fits nicely on my palm. My take of this phone is this is meant for users with slim fingers and who does not need massive apps but just the essentials.

This phone currently ranges from RM480 - RM520 depending on what accessories you add on like size of external memory, casing etc. I bought mine for RM480 with an 8GB memory card. If you like, it can expand until 64GB

It is preloaded with HERE maps and HERE Drive for navigation which you can use anywhere without wifi or data plan. That's the upside of it! You would need to download the offline map into the phone, whichever country you are visiting. This is what I like about it.

The OS is Windows 8 and it is just two page for you to toggle on. The screen is nice to swipe and scroll on. Pixels are fantastic for a price like this.

The camera is of 5mp and captures sufficiently clear especially in daylight. For the price paid, I would say it is worth the buy. There is Nokia MixRadio which allows you to download alot songs for offline listening.

My Side of Chelsia Ng

My Side of Chelsia Ng.

Chelsia Ng ~ a singer, songwriter, actress, a friend most of all to many and a daugther who made her parents so proud.  I’m happy and proud to say she is still the same ol' Chelsia I have known since school days.  Her strong attachment to her family is what made her strong in her roots and values.  The love and support she’s gotten and not to mentioned from her late grandfather, I believe made a foundational impact on her life thus keeping her feet on the ground while flying in her dreams.

A lively, energetic, bubbly Chelsia from the island of Penang started her journey at a young age of 14. She is definitely a livewire and you can’t be around her without being surrounded by an energy of positivity.  In school days,  I have seen her handle situations that affected her and although she had lack of self confidence and insecurity, she goes through it all and conquered it. No further details here. As she said, she is a very emotional person, no doubt at all but you will love her for that. Some thing that I admired her for. One who is expressive and speaks from her heart and mind and I believe that is what you will hear from her new album ‘Here With You’.

My favourite tune would be I’m Sorry of  all that she has ever written so far, which I have heard it earlier when it first came out as her first single. The tune is what attracted me and Its like you can even speak from the song. For this current album, I exceptionally like Pick Up Your Phone and Here With You. She has a unique voice that resonates well with these songs. She described her songs as eclectic, pop yet quirky. She reminds me of singers like Macy Gray, Alanis Morissette, Jewel, Indie Arie and etc who has their unique way of conveying their songs.

From her days as a finalist in Asia Bagus till now, this young Penang lady has grown  to prove to the world what she is made of. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in her career. I do not need to state her credentials, the internet has an array of her information. 

All I can say is, I’m proud of her achievements and the person she has become.  Kudos to her Mama and Papa Chels too for always supporting her in all that she does. From my view, their support is obviously what makes her stronger.

God Bless You, 'Ng Chelsia', go for it!
