sitting around in the sun
the sun is finally out. have been experiencing many days of cold weather which is a tad unusual at this time of the year. oh wells. not complaining since all i have packed in my bags are shorts, slippers, tank tops and bikinis. i wanted to go for the white river rafting, but am not game to do it alone with a whole bunch of strangers. decided to go for the jet setting instead so that my uncles can join me. aunt and uncle just had shoulder surgery and is really not up to the rafting activity. contemplating on the helicopter ride, but uncle think it’s too expensive. so here…

never thought of this.
i never thought that i’ll say this, but after the month long anticipation of the africa trip… i suddenly have no desire to go at all. it’s like i’ve lost interest, too tired, and suddenly it seems more like a dreary thing than something that i’ll anticipate. guess it was a prolonged case of anticipation, or that i am too tired with everything that’s going on right now. there’s just so much to be done. the mind is racing but the body is in a trance. argh. i just want to push everything away, curl up in bed and wish no one would bother me for a while. there’s just…

perfect timing or bad?
at 4.30am this morning, i packed the boy off at the airport again. and while it’s the last day of the long weekend, it’s the start of a month of ‘independence’ and missing the boy. our flight schedules couldn’t have been more perfect (or not!). our schedules: HIM: 21 – 25 Sep – China HER: 26 Sep (2AM flight!) – 7 Oct – South Africa HIM: 7 Oct – 18 Oct – Italy, France, UK and so, we technically can meet and chill at the airport for a few hours on the days we are flying in/out. i cannot decide if i should be happy (YAY! we at least get…

south africa..
been trying to read up about south africa for the past hr and a half and it seems like greek to me. totally cannot relate to the places and the names and what nots. this is by far the hardest research i have done for any trip. i reckon it’s the fact that i cannot remember the names of the places.. so i keep reading back and forth to refer. have anyone gone to south africa that can provide some tips for reference? from the list, what would be worth covering? johnnesburg, south africa safari, victoria falls, chobe (botswana) & cape town. on a side note, i cannot seemed to…
