huh??? its already friday... ...

man! time do fly - its already end of the week before i know it. its been quite a mad house... but, i'm glad that its about 4 hours more before the weekends. I don't exactly know how to feel about this particular weekend. Somehow, the end it, will mark the beginning of an almost nightmarish week ahead. though, i do hope for the best in this trip.. oh well, i guess things can't be that bad. I'm sure there'll be something interesting about the trip. Let's keep our fingers crossed ya. Am due for a labortary visit next week up in Penang, and no, i'm not taking a flight up - i'm driving up. A pretty WONDERFUL decision isn't it ?

Durn!

Will need to stop by KL then up to Penang - its a loooong drive i suppose - 7 1/2 hours ? Its quite a scary thought... with the fact that i aint' so familiar with the route up from KL to Penang. Enroute KL's fine - but.. Gosh - not to Penang.. the thought of it frightens me. Yikes! I better be going up in that Odessey - anything less, i'm not going...

Oh well - i got a taste of being a full time stalker today. Have been trying to reach someone so as to firm up certain plans for a project, for the longest time. I just need to catch hold of him, and, squeeze a meeting out of him to pick his brains. Man! Was it tough to touch base.. i've been trying to locate him since 0830 .. can you believe that!!!!! but, fortunately, i manage to nail him much later in the afternoon, and did bagger him for that 2 hours i wanted. phew! it is a relieve indeed that i got that done. . .

God! and now, i'm having a bad headache... sigh... i haven't got anything plans out for tonite. I haven't really got the time, and energy to think about it really. . . hmm . . . and the thought to plan anything, or, commit to any plans.

The Weekend that Came and Went With lightning Speed

Gosh! is it already tuesday today - time do really fly at a really frightful speed doesn't it. And, it is indeed a little disconcerting to know that in time to come, i will open my eyes and go - "ahhh... its been 30 years ago since i did that"... , or look into the mirror and see an old wrinkled face looking back. At this point, I am thinking of a non-botox kind of life.. i dont' really want eternal youth - that will be so... so... unreal... i suppose. Its not that i've been really thinking about old age, it just came to mind when i realise that time has been moving at lightning speed... ... It wouldn't be long before i find myself not living as a youth any longer


Anyway, i wasn't to talk about that - its too heavy a subject to discuss that early in the week. My weekend went well. I just have to tell you that i picked the perfect wine over the weekends. And i am so proud of myself. =) Ha! Was at wine culture at demsey over the weekends for some wine. I picked a nice red, 2002, limited edition, cabernet sauvignon, chilian red. Yummy! I'm glad i didn't pick the merlot - that would be awful i suppose. but then again, it depends on individuals. Some love it spicy, i like it fruity. so... it worked great for me. and my frens. phew! its been awhile since i've tasted nice wine - and it wasn't all that expensive.

it was a nice nite - with perfect company, with a perfect bottle of red. i dont' think anyone could ask for more. =) thought the part of staying awake while on my way home wasn't that good an episode. Fortunately, i had a ride back from a kind fren.

A quiet, but nice weekend. I did really enjoy myself. It was simple. don't you just love frens whom you can hang out with - not thinking about anything else, but just relaxing and enjoying one another's company... and knowing that the other is enjoying yours too ? ;)

Very old posts and SaLsA

Our New PM
its pretty disconcerting when you realise these days that some young people do not know who the new prime minister of singapore is... it seems that our youngsters are going up in a more micro-view of things

I did wanted to write more on that issue, but i realise that i didn't have the time to continue after writing a 3 liner. and now, i can't really remember what i wanted to comment on that - and besides, i reckon that the issue's a little stale for discussion.

I wrote the above on the 23rd Aug, which was early last week. More then 7 days ago. So, i'm not about to put you through stale news - or bore you with even more "the new prime minister" yabble.

I'll touch on something more light hearted - My salsa class...... salsa... that latino dance and yes, I can dance... hahahah.....


My last Beginners session in salsa was on monday. Musings about it ... Well.... i enjoyed myself tremendously. I know, it doesn't look like it since i haven't written anything about it. Its not that i'm not excited, but, i just do not have the time to jot it down and remuse what I've learnt and experience from the class.

The class had 5 sessions, teaching the basics in salsa. There was plenty of entanglements of arms and legs.... mainly, my own. In lesson 3 and 5 - i got really all confused, with all the turnings and lefts and rights... ... my right foot and left, seems to be everywhere, and most of the time in the wrong position.. .... but, I did manage to get it all right in the end. :) and indeed, i am so very proud of myself. . . :)

Those tougher sessions did really reminded me vaguely of one class i picked up last year. Its this class on dance-exercise - Gawd! that was awful. But for this round, the "entanglements" were.. well, good ones, nice ones... at least, i enjoyed myself... at least, i was motivated enough to really learn the footwork instead of just resigning to the fact that i don't really give a rat's whiskers whether i got it right or not. Haha... it was indeed lovely.

My dance partner's this really charming 16 year old - he is adorable, shy, but definately sweet. Oh, all right - he isn't REALLY 16 - but he really do look like such a little kid. Don't you simply love younger people? they are less sinister - what you see is what you get - nothing hidden.. well, of course, i can't say this for all young individuals.

I've signed myself up for Beginners 2 in salsa - and am really looking forward to the beginning of class 2 weeks later. In the meantime, i'm going to get as much practice as i can. its strange how addictive it can get once one get all head over heels with it. I think i'm beginning to fall in love with the dance. love the beauty, love the grace.
