Last week, I managed to 'lure' HP to my flat. I have been 'dreaming' up various ways of getting her to my flat (without getting any complaints) and came up with so many scenarios.

Everytime, she would just follow me and stopped about 1 metre away from the lift. No matter how I tried to 'call' or waved to her, she would just lean against the wall and wouldn't barge. Sometimes, she wouldn't even look at me and pretended not to hear me.

It happened unexpectedly that morning; she followed me across the street when I went over to the newspaper stall but I managed to 'lose' her for I would not want to get her into any trouble.

Later, when I walked back to my flat, she saw me and just followed me all the way until a metre away from the lift. This time around, when I waved to her, she came to me immediately but she stopped abruptly just right in front of the entrance of the lift. She sniffed and paused for a long time, seemed undecided until I pulled her collar and she stepped right into the lift.

When I let go of the 'open' button, she wanted to shot out of the lift but the doors closed right in front of her nose; nearly crushing her head. I was afraid that she panic so I pressed the button to open the doors again to let her out but she did not. So, I let the doors shut and up and up we went. I put my hand on her to calm her down just in case she panic. That's how I managed to get her to 'visit' my flat.

A few pics I took last year at floral fest. First time that they showcased some herbs plants.
Wish that they will show more of these this year.

Dream Jobs

I have been working for more than a decade now and I still can’t be sure what is my dream job?
Well, as I discovered that I am quite a lazy person, all my so called ‘dream job’ will turn out to
be ‘not –so-dream jobs’ as I learnt about the job description, the environment, the wage, the hours
requirements, qualifications, etc, etc.

That’s why I dare not dream about a ‘dream job’ anymore. Just yesterday, someone I knew who
is in his mid-twenties, just gotten his dream job and he’s leaving for the capital city.

It is rare to hear that some one got his/her dream jobs nowadays (at least not in this part of the world or my world).
I really envy and give my heartiest congratulations to everyone who got their dream jobs!

I sounded so pessimism because I am now ‘suffering’ at my present job and I am happy / relief that my other
colleague manage to ‘ break free’ from this office. I wonder when is my turn or will there be one? Wishing hard for
it everyday. Hope that I have a good karma to switch to a better job/office.

Temporarily, I think I can name my ‘sort of dream job’ is to be a reiki practioner/volunteer or work with dogs(?)
I wonder would I back out once I found out the ‘real ‘ world of both the dream jobs?

Finding a job again is hard……at my age* and lack of papers, lack of confidence and the not so good
salary offered. (Hey! A lot of grads can’t even get their expected pay and what about me!)

So, I am wishing hard everyday but not taking any action to get any papers. (too tired and forgetful to
learn anything by now)

Well, just try to enjoy myself to the fullest in the weekends. (I am looking forward to my Reiki Level 2
Workshop next month )

*p.s. that is why they never increase yr salary/salary cut because the employers know!
(this is not happening to me yet but I do (indeed) understand now! So does my nearing 40 best friend!)

Memories Captured

Thanks for the comment. It is a real encouragement for me. That is the beauty of digital camera.
Also thanks to my friend who recommended this fabulous Olympus digital camera. Hope to share more
pictures and to take more meaningful pictures in the future.

It’s a shame that I had not replaced my first camera since it ‘retired’ from action about year 2000.
Missed out a lot of action and precious moment since then; namely; the picture of late “Bobby” the lovely brown stray
dog at my place. Also the historical moment of the bombings in Haadyai, Thailand about 2 years ago.

I was near the shopping district when it happened. There were two explosions, but no one realized it.
Everyone at the food stalls was busy with their business. It struck me that it might be a bomb explosion but
I looked around and seeing everyone was calm so I thought maybe it was a gas explosion or something just
dropped from the building.

After a minute, the crowd realized it when we began to smell smoke and everyone got panic and started to run.
Police vans arrived shortly when we were walking hastily away from that area. I met a few friends from our group
on the way and we stayed together but the route back to the hotel was blocked. We stood in front of a Chinese coffee
shop and watched while waiting. The owner of the shop was kind enough to let us into his shop.
His staff/family members served us hot drinks and he refused to accept any payment. We stayed there for at least
an hour before we felt safe to go. I am real grateful to the owner for giving us a ‘refuge’.
Sadhu to him and his family.!!! May him be well, happy and safe always.
