Anonymous, tis one's for you.

I am overwhelmed.
was that flattery for a complete stranger
or have our paths crossed in the real world.
Even though the night of day has arrived
The comments lifted up my tired soul
I am flattered no doubt.
identitfy yourself.
It puzzles me you write this way,
feels as if you know me..

up up and away...

Been away for sometime,
Neglected many of the friends I once met with on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Work’s been keeping me and it’d wouldn’t be fair to say that life isn’t good to me.
Yet as earthly beings we never really seem to be fully satisfied with our possessions or the life that we have been given. No matter how much we have been blessed.

Like strings of a kite that sway with each direction’s wind
directionless and clueless on the next one coming.
However, glad that there’s never been a day the other hand of that single string has released.
He had been tugging each time I darted right down.
And In good time, before the pits came forth, I was tugged up skyward once more.
How was I so blind to ignore.
Alas, I have gained sight,
And strength to soar again.

back from tanjong pinang..

The district meeting.. or they call it a "retreat" somehow ended on a better note than I had earlier thought.. The relaxed atmosphere paved the way for better relations between me and the BOSS.

So what did i do there.. or what could I have done there.. when you're in Rome you live like the Romans.. so in a Kampong, you live like the "kampongers"..
Jon and I had absolutely nothing to do, and joining the rest in the room to gossip and laze simply was un-enticing.. so off we hopped into the village asking if anyone could lend us boats. Paid a little sum of $8 for the hour and went riding the waves..no wait a minute, what waves.. I meant tide.. I felt like a fisher-woman, looking pro with the strokes using those long heavy wooden "dayungs"(oars).. exactly like the ones we see in the china movies.After an hour of being a joke, we scott off to exploring on some villager's bicycles.. (bikes that had seats pointing skyward as u peddle.. ) It was a not so pretty sight all around the little island but an eye-opener..

THE BEST THING that caught my eye.. got me laughing so hard.. PICTURE THIS!
A chicken was taking a stroll, hopped onto a higher ground, saw a stick leaning on the higher ground took a step towards the stick, one leg on the stick and one leg in the air, and to my amazement.. did a SLIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have videoed that but good scenes come when u least expect it..

It was a simple trip, but I've learnt to enjoy life thru simple means just like how they do it.
It's good to be away from the city buzz every now and then...
