Moleskine Daily Planner 2010 Hard Cover

Was shopping for a book at Kinokuniya Bookstore at KLCC today when I saw the Moleskine planners and desktop calendars for next year are already on sale. So I picked up a hard cover pocket size daily planner for myself. It comes with two cover versions – soft and hard. This year I am using a soft cover planner and for a change I decided to get a hard cover one. It comes with a useful address book insert that is thin enough to be slotted into the expandable inner pocket.

It is only September and I have already got this 2010 planner for myself. It means I am going to continue doing my illustrative journaling for next year. Exciting!

Journal, 16 September 2009 – When you’re faced with a problem…

How many times when you’re in a situation you tend to talk about your problem and complain about it? We will find that most of the time by doing that you won’t solve the problem but it gets worse as you talk more about it.

The revelation to you today is that do not talk about your problem but talk to your problem instead! Do not speak about how big your problem is but speak to that problem how big God it!

“… if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20

Beauty is in the details

I have always admired the craftsmanship of watchmaking.
