A Trip to the Philippines

After a long week of travelling, I am finallly back home. Traveling may sound interesting but it has a huge price to pay at the end of it - I'm down with an irritating cough sadly. So much for wanting to kiss Hayden, now I have to wear a mask whenever I am near him!

It was my second trip to Manila and my first in Cebu. Being in these places, especially in Cebu makes me feel proud for being a Malaysian. Feeling even more appreciative for being who I am and where I am as the people in Cebu are either down to earth or down right indigent. Seeing children begging in the streets and knocking on your car window in the middle of the street (when you stopped at the traffic light) and started singing to you, it really reminded me of the movie Slum Dog Millionaire. We even saw a naked woman walking down the road unashamed of herself!

Well, apart from working, of course we did have a great time...shopping! From Glorietta malls to GreenBelt and to our favourite - Bonifacio Global City in Manila, we also had a good time relaxing at SPAs! It was all worth it at the end of the day as we got the job done with what we set out to do (work wise of course).

Next stop - Bangladesh. Hmm.....



In Cebu city - They crowd around our taxi singing to us

Welcome the Rabbit Year!

Happy Chinese New Year everybody! I'm a full time mother this week. In Brunei.. Nothing much to do. Hubby & Baby sleeping. And I just can't sleep in the afternoon despite my lethargicness. Thank you Cityville for accompanying me! Without FB, I think I'll just tear my hair off.

I read somewhere that this year is apparently bad for those who are born in the year of Rooster.

Rooster Fortune in 2011:


The rooster will encounter a lot of obstacles in work. Due to low popularity, you will be involved in verbal spats and will also be framed by others this year. Your work will not go well, money will be a major worry as well. It is recommended that you get to know more about financial management, be thrifty and do not break the law to earn quick money. Also, do not be a guarantor or lend money to others this year or you might get yourself involved in lawsuits. There will be a alot of ups and downs for your love life, expect some problems with your marriage. You will feel moody at times due to the pressure from work and you should seek medical advice if you are feeling unwell. Any delays will be bad for your health.

Geez. I hope its not too true. I do not want to believe in this and do not want to invite any negativities to rule my life for this year. Like the Law of Attraction, the more we attract the bad stuff, then the bad stuff will somehow come to you. Agree?
 
Oh well, we will see how it goes this year. With my recent career promotion I do hope to do well and cope well especially with the increase level of stress that I will be having. Lots of expectation, no room for mistake. Wish me well. Gong xi fa chai!
 
 

Fiercely loyal creature to those they really care about

and can be brutally honest too!
