Getaway

When the long weekend rolled around, we packed our bags and left for the HIGHLANDS!

We were there last year for my bday... so I pretty much anticipated how its gonna be. Still, its nice to be away from the blazing sun so typical of our island. Temperatures dipped as low as 16 degrees... & it reminded me fondly of the oh-so-cool outdoors in Tokyo.

Having the cool-as-mint winds caressing my cheeks with a hot cup of hot choc from Starbucks. Heaven. Pure pleasure is really in the simplest things :)




I got my wish of riding on the carousel. Pure glee. Me thinks I'm jus really a lil girl having to act all grown-up. ha.

With the group..

Us on the carousel,snapping away :)

The trip there was pretty crazy due to the weekend. It took forever to reach & we had to wait for ages to check-in. The more popular rides were so packed that queues seem never-ending. Not for the patience-challenged folks like me.

I feel more like a spa getaway.. Having my tired body kneaded & prodded, easing all the knots in my tired shoulders amidst serene & lush greenery, with Richard Clayderman in the background & the faint scent of fresh roses lingering.. wrapping up with a milk soak that's oh so luxurious..

I'm so gonna make this a reality soon.

Something meaningful

Once I came across this meaningful quote. This was how it read:

" I try not to live my life satisfying every want."

I could not recall the author of this beautiful quote..but one thing's certain, it left me pondering & I dare say, pretty inspired.

I intepret "wants" as impulses for material possessions.

When I was eight, I remembered I so wanted this doll that could talk and say "I love you" .

I wanted it soo much that when that doll commercial came on, I sat glued to the screen & totally mesmerised.

I knew I wanted it terribly when I couldn't walk away from the shelf that housed my very desire.. that if I didnt have it there & then my heart would ache so bad, it was as good as dead.

Now that I'm all grown up, the doll I never had became a fond memory.

In recent years, I could pretty much afford what my heart desires with a little effort.

Of course, there are times when I wondered how it felt to slip my manicured feet into a pair of Jimmy Choos.

Or how wonderful it would be if I had the Chanel clutch to go with that LBD.

But have u once felt there was something u gotta have, but once its within reach, it loses its magic? I have.

Sure there is always that sense of triumph that leaves one euphoric, but it isn't enduring.
At least for me.

Let's just say..I WILL try not to live life satisfying every want :p

LOST

A miliion thoughts racing thru my mind..

That place where I think I'm heading, are u really with me?

Aren't u leading the way? If so, why am I lost?.........

If Only..

If only life is a perpetual holiday.

Silly, idealistic me.
