I'm leaving on a jet plane...

for Bali. I know that I'll be back on Monday but oh babe, please, let me stay...

(aka rantings of a extremely excited 30 year old single woman about to embark on a trip to a new and exciting destination - Bali!)

And just like the song, all my bags are packed, I am ready to go...leaving Malaysia on her 50th birthday.

If I were to start on my thoughts about Merdeka, I'd never get to the airport on time tomorrow. Suffice to say, my Merdeka wish is that we as a society, learn not just to tolerate each other, but understand each other better. When a person reaches 50 years, she is expected to be mature, experienced. She knows nooks and corners, she's been there and done that. And for that she is all the wiser, calm and collected. Granted it is slightly (yes, only slightly :P) more complicated with a country, but I truly think that we should make a strong, 100% effort to be this sexy, strong, fantastic woman. My wish, really. Wishful thinking or possible reality?

Still happy Holidays, let's all try to have fun over the long weekend...I know I will!

Makan,makan,makan.Oops, I mean Merdeka,Merdeka,Merdeka!

Tired...

would be the catch phrase for me this week. Again. Ok so it's not exactly a phrase.But it sure encompasses the phase I am in right now. My knees ache when I walk. The body aches. I feel like I've been working out in the gym for hours - and I haven't! And the weird dream I had a few days ago is still fresh on (or is it in?) my mind.

My cousins showed me this door and said "U have to see what's inside." Curious, I stepped into the room and there it was! A black cute little pony. From the moment I saw it felt like I was in love. I petted it and spoke to it lovingly, just like I would to a dog. And when looking into it's eyes, it seemed to understand what I was saying. I had an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

So the question is what could this possibly mean?

"To see a black or dark horse in your dream, signifies mystery, wildness, and the unknown. You may be taking a chance or gamble at some unknown area. It may even represents occult forces." (from dreammoods)

The possibility of this conclusion is valid as I am trying out for new things in my life. (Although some people might suggest that it has more to do with the size of a man's balls I am yet to encounter...somehow I don't think it's about that!);)

It's always interesting to have dreams that are of a different kind. I just hope that when I sleep tonite, I shall have good ones!

It's been a tiring week what with the school starting. I feel like I've got a million things to do and only 8 hours a day to do it! By the time the clock strikes 4pm, I am soooo ready to go...the only thing that is keeping me going is the fact that in 11 days time I shall be in Bali. My first trip to Indonesia...so exciting.
I can't wait! I should write more, but I really really need to go to bed now. Shall blog soon...hopefully!

The first day in school blues...

It started of just like another day. I woke up at 6.15am, dragged myself to the bathroom, did what I had to do, had breakfast and sat in the car. As I stepped into the school, I felt the long gone yet familiar butterflies in my tummy. I sighed and realised that the holidays were finally over, and so were my carefree days. Oh what a summmer it had been! Listening to sweet music, extended lunches, chats with friends...Oh how I wish I could go back to that good ol' days.

The morning started off slowly, with the assembly and getting to know the new teachers. And then the work started! You have to do this and that and thisthat. Argh!It was starting to annoy me. But I didn't, no, couldn't show them how I felt. I had to keep it a secret. I pretended that everything was ok, that I was happy to be there. That every other minute I wished I was back home, sitting on my favourite couch, sipping on my cold lemon tea, watching my favourite program on tv.

I did some work, and somehow got through the afternoon. Lunch passed by like a breeze, over before it even had begun! The butterflies were still flying in my tummy. Even my favourite fried rice failed to comfort me. The only consolation? That it would be closer to going home. With that single thought in mind, I walked back, all the way to the 5th floor. There was a whole lot of talking going on. I did some work and somehow, time passed and soon it was time to go back!

Passionately, I switched off the computer, picked up my bag, waved to my supervisors and dashed out of the library door as fast as I could. Woohoo! I survived my first day at school - as the librarian!

I'm in Trouble!

Trouble creeps suddenly without u know it, doesn't it? There u are minding your own business, checking out the usual haunts, when a not very unusual statement, in my case it was "u can have food fights with ur friends" that got to me. My curiosity got the better of me and one click later I was in! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have joined Facebook. And I can't keep my fingers of it!

It is a far more interesting, interactive site than Friendster. Not only can u meet new friends and keep in touch with old ones, u can have food fights with friends, create quizes and polls, bite ur friends so that they become vampires and much more! I am still experimenting with it and it's a whole lotta fun. Find out more - go to facebook.com.

This week at work I've been busy trying to finish up the bulletin boards. Initially, the task seemed so very daunting. The board was huge and I had to idea what to do. But then things became clearer (after my visit to the temple on Tuesday)I decided to take the plunge and just do it! The results are as follows with a few more additions to make...






Not too bad eh?
