9 days of relaxation..

My one week of hols was spent quite well I have to say.. 4 days in Hong Kong (2 days of travel.. :p) was great and got to chill with Julie even tho hubby and I went sight-seeing on our own.. It's been a while since I travelled to another country and seeing how people lead their lives in another place is most often an eye opener.. one thing is they walk really fast and the women are so stylish.. - those I saw in the MRT that is. And the trains are plenty, on time and so efficient! What a far cry from what we have here in Msia.. Maybe if we had another extra day (and some extra cash) we would have gone a bit further around HK.. but there's always a next time.. :)

Besides that, this holiday has also again brought me online a lot, facebook mostly.. I'm trying to not be too hooked on it but its hard.. Sadly, reading other ppls status seems to be the highlight of my day at times.. haha.. Am also pretty aware that the things u write on fb may be construed differently so one has to be careful.. sometimes I just write on impulse and end up putting my foot in my mouth cuz when i read it back, realize it could be understood otherwise! Ooops! The pen is truly mightier than the sword..

Now it's less than 24 hours till I set my foot back on KMB soil.. and I'm trying to catch up on some work.. (am so doing last minute work).. Funny how we plan things to do - with a list- and end up doing so little on the list (at least I did some).. I didn't even spend much time on reading.. and do I have a lot of books that I've started but not finished... sheesh...

As much as I love holidays.. I still do love working and kinda looking forward to going back to that work routine.. seriously? Seriously. ;)

a sight for sore eyes

Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.

what colour are you?

Am once again surrounded by the chaos and craziness of my working world. And I haven't even started teaching yet! One thing I often get to do when I'm at work is shop! There's always something for everybody whenever someone starts selling. In my defense, it saves me time from having to go to a shop myself.. and if i can get quality goods at affordable prices (pay 2,3 times.. haha), why not? Today it was batik. And being around colleagues who watch what we wear day in and day out.. everyone seems to know what colour would suit which person. I was no exception.. Once again, I didn't surprise anyone and chose material with the same colour I always choose. Which got strong reactions from my dear observant friends. So, I decided to try listening to everybody's protests and tried hard to find something that wasn't me . I wanted to embrace the challenge of wearing something different. Getting out of my comfort zone. But then I wondered, why would I want to be not me ...

a note before midnight

It's the end of June.. soon it will be July - my favourite month ;) Significant things are happening in July. Results. Decisions to be made. New students, new class, new people to break my heart.. Anyway, it didn't work. My time off. Remind me not to have any time off from the world wide web cuz it'll never work. Can't be separated. Today was not a good day. I need to get my eyes checked cuz my lack of power which I never knew, is giving me terrible headaches and I couldn't see the writing on the mahjong papers my students presented today :( and my power is already 600!! :(( Ok.. gotta go battle with my cat and shove a pill down her throat. Please cooperate. If you're interested: sher127.tumblr.com goodnight readers of my blog..
