Nothing beats meeting old friends and spending time with them. Ive missed all these people for the past 3 months, makes me wonder sometimes why I dropped everything I had to embrace new pastures. Today I met my ex colleagues, my good friends, some since the time I started, some along the way. Talked about school, updates on their lives, i have missed these people so very much.
Ive been meeting my family and friends since I stepped down, its like having life into me all over again. Many more outings lined up for the week and next, not forgetting the work I am here for as well.
My little monkey is asleep, he woke up at 5am this morning to as me why the sky is blue, he is just full of energy and wit.
Im truly blessed to have so many people loving me so much, I wish time would have a temporary halt so that 5th Oct never comes. Along the way you make new friends, but its never the same.......

A Wonderful Birthday
Birthday is the time you realise how much you are loved and missed by your loved ones and that is also the time you get to know of the people who do not really care about you. Mine this year started the day before with dinner and cake cutting. Twelve midnight I got the 1st call from my flatmate, both of them returning from a movie. They lied to me they were in a fren's place but they were in the tram heading home. Some people had heard them wishing me and started singing "Happy Birthday". Ten mins later, the door opened, the 2 of them grabbed me, gave me a hug and insisted I got ready to hit Chapel for some drinks and fun. We headed to Imperial in Chapel, had a margarita on Vishesh, danced, ate at hungry jacks and headed home.
My flight was at 1330pm and I was out at 1130am, heading to the airport. At the airpost, alomost 12 hrs later, i was greeted by my cousin, her husband and my nephew. My nephew had made me a card, how sweet. Home sweet home, I was delighted to see my family, it was a surprise for them. I couldnt get my nephew up but he was up at 3am, saw me and gave me a big hug, we slept hugging each other after that. Heaps of wishes from friends and family, through Facebook, phone and in person. My friends had sent a present over to Melbourne, thinking i was going to be there, I never got to see it before I left.
Monday, lots of food cooked by my aunt, visits from cousins and another cake cutting session. I had a blast, reunited with my family and friends and also with family and friends back in Melb, some expected, some unexpected but there is still a void in some part of your heart when you dont receive the expected wish from that one person.....this is life.....

Death of My Heroes
Patrick Swayze, someone I watched growing up has passed on at the age of 57, after his battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a well known dancer and actor, who can ever forget his moves in Dirty Dancing and romantic persona alongside actess Demi Moore, in Ghost. I was 17 when I watched Ghost with the 1st love of my life. I remember it was my 17th birthday, he waited ouside my school n presented me a bear when I walked out of the gate. I searched high and low for the movie 'Ghost' after he passed on in 2007. My cousin would drag me away when i went into the shops to ask for that movie, can't believe I looked for it in S'pore, JB and Jakarta, but didnt get it in the end. Maybe I should look for it in Melbourne heh :-)In 1991, Patrick was named in People's magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive", he is definitely every womens' dream, a combination of masculinity and grace!
Micheal Jackson is another one I grew up watching and hearing. My brother was crazy about him and had his initials engaved on his comb. The 'King of Pop' had a song for souls young and old. He was a true legend, he wears no mask in public and was known for his cute sense of humour. I loved Micheal best when he was 26, he was so cute. He had a slight nose job done and his brows thinned and he looked amazing. My personal favourite will always be the single "Heal The World"

The People We Meet
I always belief there are reasons for crossing paths with some people, sometimes the reasons are not known but nevertheless its always an experience, some sweet, some bitter but they are all part of life's bittersweet journey.
This past week has been great. To start with, there wasn't uni. Then Antony came into my life, is he the angel god has sent to shadow me during these phase, I question myself. Im not sure, but what seems sweet is not a smooth path either. Why? I ask myself, why send me someone who isnt going to be there forever? He is like my happy pill and a fatal attraction at that.
Its amazing how strangers become friends. Our usual dinner outing, Jaisri and I headed to Chapel. There were a series of twisted events that took place today. She had changed her mind about going somewhere else and had come to visit me. After some cooked lunch and a few glasses of muscat, we headed to Chapel St. From lapocheta,to thai and after streaming throught the street we decided on Italian, no seats and we got the bar, people left and we seated proper in 20 mins. The table beside had two guys seated 10 mins later. Two glasses of sweet white, Rivioli and Fettuccini is what we had with conversation revolving around people from back home. Then the guy from the table beside says hi. Faruq and Ifi. Handshakes and a conversation started. We were invited to O' Reily, a club in Chapel St. We met Lina, 6 more glasses of Bourbon, a few hours in the dance floor, a chicken kebab along the street and now i am back home on my bed. We had a blast, clean fun, a night full of laughter.
Who are these people? Why do they cross our path? I wonder......its true, angels do exist.......
