Time Alone

After as what seemed like a long week, finally the weekend is here! :) The Great Singapore Sale is still on & I hadn't really been out shopping & itching for it! Yesterday finally got the chance to go town with Cindy. We managed to get something for ourselves each. Retail therapy for me again! :P

After a day's out, its my Sabbath day today. Had a long night sleep. Had weird dreams with no logic @all. :O Ridiculously odd. It would be fantastic if I can control what I dream, as if writing for a movie script! Haha!

I went to Lot 1 in the morning, spending some time just shopping around,running some errands, checking out things as well as dropping by the library to borrow some books. Borrowed a few books on Spain- the travel guide & the Spanish learning guide book. Been very keen in the country & the language ever since watching Dora the Explorer with my nephews. Dora is a Spanish animated cartoon character whom you guess it, who loves exploring! She is sometimes joined by her cousin, Diego on interesting adventures. Dora often speaks short Spanish phrases & it gradually sparked an interest in me! :D I would lurrrvve to have an opportunity to go Spain! However, @the mean time, I'm contented just to read about it. :)

After my stint this morning, I just felt so refreshing afterwards. I realised how important it is to have some time alone every now & then. To spend some solitary time doing the things that I like & enjoy, to just relax & keep my mind off those loathesome worrisome things.


The Dawn of a new week is here! Every day is new! Embrace the day with newfound hope & positive expectations of good!

A Restful Break

Its been a tiring week. Many things to clear @work. Alas the weekend is here! Went to watch Indiana Jones with Cindy today & shopping after that. Been waiting for too long for the movie. I wonder how come it took awfully long for George Lucas to write for a film?Starwars, Indiana Jones. Gosh! The last Indie movie was what, more than 10years ago! & Mr Harrison Ford is already his 60s! Not a really enjoyable sight to watch but still, I must say that I'm very impressed that he could still do his own stunts! Though he's not as agile as before. Anyhow,its still a very encouragable effort. Kudos to Mr Ford! :) His trademark sense of humor was still there. This time round, a new sidekick, Shia Laboef aka his son. Overall, I enjoyed the movie & Cindy more, coz' she was laughing from start till end! Haha! Well, glad I'm able to go out to take a breather from a busy & rather troubled week. Gotta distract myself @times from thinking too much. :O

Thank God for a fun & relaxing weekend Bintan getaway. It was really a very welcoming break for me indeed. @least I could just get away for awhile & really unwind myself.But I find it too short & a bit rush though. Coz' for one thing, we took the afternoon ferry on Friday & morning ferry on Sunday. I hadn't really got the chance to really explore around. My colleague, Kenneth had more time & fun exploring, 4 day trip. His was really extreme sports with his family. But one thing I'm really thankful about was that my sis-in-law specially booked massage a session for my mum, aunt & me! Just nice coz' I really needed a massage desperately as my shoulders is experiencing tension. But expectedly, it was rather expensive. My mum & aunt kept complaining about it throughout the trip.

I specially liked the villa we stayed. It was really huge, comfy & spacious! How I wish it were my home! It would be real nice! hee! There were 6 families staying in 2 villas-20 of us including kids. The 1st night I didn't really sleep well coz' Linus came to sleep with us in the middle of the night. He was wailing when he didn't see his folks by his side as they went next door to play mahjong.

The 2nd day, I had to babysit my nephews in the morning as their folks went playing golf in the early morning. These two boys when together, could really create a din & taking care of them is like running a marathon! They kept running & jumping all over. I was dog-tired by afternoon. Goodness, my bro & sis-in-law took them for a swim shortly with the rest. I hurriedly went back to the villa together with my aunt & mum for a well-deserved rest. By evening time, all of us went for a stroll by the beach. Really cooling & the sea is so blue! Imagine only just 45mins ferry & you could see such crystal clear water! & you could even see crabs! My brother tried to catch one, intending to bbq it for dinner but the fella was too fast for him, it just disappeared into the sand.

We had bbq feast @night. It was a sheer good & fine meal indeed! There were seafood & steak,lamp chop, chicken wings etc. My stomach was full to the max! Best of all, there were someone from the Resort helping us to bbq! :) How about that!

I rose early morning the next day to have breakfast @the Resort main lobby. Sure felt good to eat in peace, without the chatter of my nephews. Hoho! We checked out soon after that & it was Home Sweet Home!

Next destination will be Macau! Cindy & I plan to go there probably by end of the year. I wanna see the recent built Venetian...i heard such good reviews of it! We'll see how. Hope we will be able to make it. :)

Getaway...finally!

Haven't been updating my blog for awhile. Was feeling physically tired & troubled over certain issues. Just didn't have the mood to write :( Well, thank God things seem improving now & I finally can get down to writing! :)

Met up with Cindy & Meiling two weekends ago. Cindy bought us goodies from U.S. & best of all, she managed to get me the Zune Player that I wanted,@Walmart! YESS! I was extremely exhilarated & having a fun time exploring & using it since. :D It seemed the longest holiday for Cindy, she said. Yah, she can say that again. Hee! Now its my turn...yippee! Am going to Bintan with my family for a short weekend getaway. I've been waiting way tooooo long for this much-needed break. :O Although its kinda short, but better than none.

Initially I wasn't really keen to go when my mum asked me, as I heard quite negative feedbacks from few of my friends, that it was boring, nothing much to do & see. However, after hearing from my colleagues mentioning about it, with good reviews, I changed my mind. I thought, since I desperately wanted a break, who not go? No Lobster (long vacation), got prawn (short getaway)will do too! Heehee!
