To Medan for yet another wedding...

I am very excited about my maiden trip to Medan, Indonesia. Medan is situated in North-eastern Sumatra, safe from the horrid Tsunamis and earthquakes. It is also famous for its Lake Toba ! However, there might not be much shopping to do, I suppose.

Back to the topic before I digress further. I am pretty excited about the trip there because of a different agenda. It is not entirely a "holiday" trip for me, though perhaps partially. Jenny, our Indonesian secondary school classmate is getting married !

I will be going there with an old secondary classmate and will be travelling from Singapore to Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia by bus, followed by bus again from JB to KL. We will take a cab from Puduraya to the KL Low Cost Carrier airport (KL LCC) where subsequently, we will catch a flight from KL to Medan. Jenny or her driver will be picking us up from the airport and sending us to her brother's budget hotel for the 3 days 2 nights there. FOC ! I feel like a million dollars!

My companion and I plan to tour around the place on Saturday before attending her wedding on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully, it will be fun and fruitful! My other friends and colleagues joked that I must doll up pretty pretty there so that I can delay my flight (meaning that I would have caught the eye of some rich Indonesian Chinese tycoon!!!). If only I am that lucky!

Haha... Sometimes, it is good to dream of the impossible to perk ourselves up, don't you think?

New Year 2008 resolutions

As the year draws to a close, I have had a few thoughts that came to my mind. First of all, thoughts of what to plan and expect for the year 2008-cum-New Year resolutions.

Top 5 2008 resolutions:
1st - To find my Mr Right soon
2nd - To achieve better results for both work and studies
3rd - To earn more money in the coming year
4th - To exercise more, sleep earlier and rest more
5th - To travel to more exotic places

The 2nd to the 5th new year resoultions are quite achieveable if I work harder in the coming year but for the 1st one, it depends on fate. I really wish to have someone to love, care, understand and be with me to share my happiness, sadness and whatevers. I do not like the feeling of being lonely and having nobody to talk to in the wee hours. Someone who would ask me to sms or call whenever I get home on a late night. Someone to spend my weekends and festives with. Someone who can tolerate my temper. Someone whose life is united with me as one and whom I can grow old with. I do not need someone who is handsome, rich or powerful, just someone who is decent, honest and understanding. It would be good if he is working in a decent job with a comfortable salary. Taller and older guys would also be very much preferred.

Are my pre-requistes for the better half too demanding? I doubt so. These are basically what every girl wish for in their other half.

Or maybe the problem lies with me?

Only God knows.

Steamboat dinner-cum-Mango Cake

I had a simple but endearing steamboat dinner with the late bf's family this evening. It was also the father's lunar birthday today and coincidentally, I had bought a mango cake for the family!

The Schnauzer is just as adorable and lovely and welcomed me all the same. I love the dog to bits!

Feeling sad and lonely

My mum brought me to this Buddhist "monk" in Geylang on 11 Aug this year where the latter predicted my coming fortune. He claimed that I would be meeting my "Mr Right" before the end of this year, which I am not sure before the English year of 2007 or before the lunar year of 2007 ends. He also mentioned that my "Mr Right" would be the one who will be with me till old, so I assume that he would be my future hubby till we grow old. I definitely hope so as I do not wish to go through another sad love story with the pain of losing the one I love; separated by death. I truly hope that he will not die before me as witnessing the one I love dying is a devastating experience and I do not hope to go through it ever again. Call me selfish but I dun think I deserve such fate ever again. I also have not been in a stable relationship ever since he left me in early 2005. 2008 is fast approaching and I am still emotionally and physically alone.

Will there be someone new awaiting for me soon? Will he be able to love, cherish, understand and be able to take all my crap like he used to ?

I am still waiting for the answer to be revealed by itself...
