Relax and Recharge

i am back from my krabi trip!!! Good trip i suppose, 4days 3nights...

away from the noisy city and being uncontactable... ok, it is not exactly that quiet because it is now bustling with lotsa caucasians, getting more commercial. it is a matter of time that it will become somewhat like phuket.

we stayed in ao nang district on the main island of krabi that is near the beach. it is just a 5mins walk to the beach and you can see the sunset - beautiful! but it is also scorching hot there as compared to the rainy season in singapore... all the 4 of us were tanned and burnt in the process..

sunset in ao nang

we did sunset canoe, snorkeling, island hopping and sun bathing. the surrounding islands and caves are very nice, nothing that you can see in singapore or malaysia. the water is so clear that you can see the fishes and the corals..bamboo island (i think)

and of cos, dont miss out the traditional thai food that they sell on the roadside. warning - only try eating if your stomach can take it. dont risk it and spoil your holiday. spent relatively little on this trip (about S$400 in total) partly because i also did not go crazy shopping and all thanks to my "finance advisor". all i bought was a seashell bracelet, a monk pants, a bag and a top (which i think it is abit too small for me).

now i feel better, recharged before i start going stressed and crazy over my festival. definitely would like to return to krabi and stay for a longer period if there is a chance.

the chao-da me on 2nd day...

Craving for my trip

this week is a superb short week for me... only worked 4 days and i am off to krabi tomorrow morning for 4 days.

yippee yippee ya!

desperately need a break before my festival starts in 2 weeks' time. and as usual, i need to work whilst family and friends are enjoying their chinese new year. but, i am fine cos i quite enjoy working during public holidays since it can be quite boring staying @ home if you have nothing to do...

looking forward for this krabi trip - for the sun, sea and sand! but it has been raining non-stop these few weeks and am worried that it might be the same in krabi. if so, i can't enjoy my sun and the sea.. =(

am praying hard to be shining sunny. i wanna be a sun-tanned beach babe when am back on mon..

wanted to go hong kong in feb... all ready to submit my travel proposal till a "decree" came in from the boss.. oh wells.. *crossing my fingers*

it is said that god made each woman from each man's rib bone and they are unique and perfect for each other.

then why he has to break his own bone?

new 2006, new resolutions, new hopes... what else?

-3rd day of year 2006-

a new year means to have new hopes, new plans, new perspectives and get unfinished things to be done in the new year. usually i dont plan resolutions because i know i wont keep to it or in the other sense is that i think my life is good enough and am pretty much contented with what i have - a bunch of buddies whom i can share my woes, a boyfriend whom i feel he loves & cares for me far enough, a family that i need not worry much, a job that i am happy with so far. isn't that good enough?

i did not do anything great over the weekend. just spent my time with my love ones and friends, learning what new happened in their life before embarking on their new journey into 2006. a couple of interesting events happened over the weekend.

(1) i was @ the lawyer's with one of my friends talking to the lawyer on drawing up separation paper. (2) got to know my gal-friend decided to "break up" with her boyfriend of 7 years. (3) a newborn baby was brought into the world last night.

***

interesting to know from the laywer that separation/divorce has been made so simplified and easy in Singapore. so long that no child is involved and if both parties are agreeable, a couple can be divorced within 6 months after they ROM for as short as 4 months -- this is called annulment.

as i was listening to his explanations on the different procedures (annulment, separation & divorce), at the back of my mind, "how worthless a piece of marriage paper can be especially if no customary ceremony is being carried out!". i can be a part-time marriage legal consultant... hahaha...

of course then again, there was so much hype when we were planning for the 1st wedding in akino. =P

***

surprised by 1 of my sec sch gal-friend that she has "broken up" with her 7-year boyfriend especially when she was so looking forward to his return from australia 1+months ago. another case of things happening at the wrong time for both parties - girl: all ready to get married and settled down. boy: just back from studies in australia, looking for a job, very much still wants to enjoy life with friends and not committed to be tied down.

***

finally got an sms from feli last night! her little baby boy decided to pop out to take a look at this new beautiful world! going to visit her and the little one tonight.. am so looking forward.. so heartwarming to start 2006.. =)

a super long essay for the 1st blog in 2006.

may everyone has gotten all their hopes come true in 2006 and live their life to the fullest without much regret!
