Dear God
Grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

There I sat, with my eyes fully closed and clenching my fist against the metal bar and Wheeeeeeeee of I went... up and down, dashing down the tracks and against the wind.Anyone could see that I was paralysed with fear... How long has it been since I last stepped onto a roller coaster ride... I have conquered my fear or so i think? Guess without my all encompassing companion by myside, I would not have had the courage to even step into the roller coaster carriage for the fact that my greatest fear would come true..must have read too much 5 people you would meet in heaven.. Since young, this gigantic machine has always intimidated me, it seems that it will consume me any minute!!! Ok, feel free to laugh at me!!!! Anyway, thanks a million to the buddy by myside... if not for you, I doubt I would ever have the courage to sit on a roller coaster... I tried my best not to scream into your ears and poured out my fears to the floor instead! To the passenger in front, no thanks to you for turning back to keep a mental record of my "look"!!!!!!I hope my fear-stricken face is stuck on you and you can never erase it ever haha!!!! Had loads and loads of fun at Sunway Lagoon!!! Reminded me a little of my fantasy island weekend escapades with the puffs.. Got myself all bruised and injured because of my addiction to the subarashi during those days!!! Hey mic and fen, I miss the both of you.....
Oh, I had an enjoyable weekend retreat in KL! Without Karen by myside, the shoe fanatic in me seems to have gone into reclusion.. I bought only 5 pairs of shoes over the weekend...:( Ok, ok, bought a dress and some T-shirts as well but well it is a marked improvement from my past obscene records!!My previous trips resulted in a diasterous number of at least 15 pairs or even more... My mum once commented, "What do u think you are? A caterpillar? Why do you need so many pairs of shoes" So instead of the Baby E (baby elephant.. well that was the name my uncle had for me when i was young.. guess it's not that difficult to figure out why), I have grown into Big C (Big Caterpilliar).... Hmm... I wonder how would I look if I had to wear different designs on each foot? Fellow Vincci addict bought 9 pairs and I guess the guys had their fair share of fun! Shan't disclose what they bought but anyway I was highly intrigued by their purchases!!!
Guess the males in the group are now terrorised by the name of Vincci! While we girls go in search of more, I can so see the speech bubble right next to their head and on it is written,"Oh dear, not another Vincci and to make things worse.. a bigger one!!" One man's food is another man's poison i suppose... Man can never understand the closely knitted bond/relationships that woman have with their shoes and bags, just like how women can never understand the fascination men have with ball games and cars.... That's why they say...."Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus"
I miss Madam Kuan's nasi bojari already.. when is the next time i can sink my teeth into the yummy juicy fried chicken plus the flavourful and colourful rice...Talking about which makes my mouth waters...
