i love life now! yesterdays are always so far away and everyday is a totally different experience from the day before and i just don't know what to expect but wait eagerly like a kid waiting for santa's reindeer bells on christmas to accept enthusiastically what life has in store for me each new day. worry? what's worry? i wont pretend; i do worry. but i'm finally beginning to trust more in the fact that there's nothing to worry about and that it's all good or gonna be. simply because that's really how it is.

why does it have to ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ? why couldn't it be ACHYTBJSLOX.....? why does it have to be in that order? why does "B" sound like "bee" and not "see"? "B" is really just a shape, innit? just a random thought....

yesterday i met up with sheryl who just returned from her lovely holiday in cairns, australia. she went bungee-jumping, whitewater-rafting, sky-diving and swimming with fishies in the beautiful great barrier reef. snippets of our conversation...

shireen: so how was sky-diving?? so jealous!! aargh!!
sheryl : it was ok lar. not as great as i expected.
shireen : (dumb-struck look)

shireen : so how was white-water? aargh wish i was there!
sheryl : it was ok lar. not that great!
shireen : (dumb-struck look)

shireen : ok, so how was the great barrier reef?
sheryl : hmmm, not that great.
shireen : (dumb-struck look bordering towards why-am-i-not-surprised look)

shireen : so how was bungee??
sheryl : oh that was the best!

finallY!!! some people have all the luck! but sheryl really did have a good time. she only had a chance to do the beginner stuff for most of the activities that in my book, are supposed to be exciting. that's why it was "not that great" in her words. the conversation then changed course to the dreaming up of our new zealand holiday next year hopefully. we're still dreaming about it. and what with the antartica cruise at the end of the year, which i am still dreaming about. sheryl's totally serious about it. she's got the cash. me? i'd need to rob a bank cos i was too lazy and contented to get off my ass to work for a few more months! haha.

and yesterday, i was all set and dressed and ready to go for dance lesson. dear mel calls me to say she's got free tickets to the horror-themed restaurant igor's! so i grabbed the opportunity and went for it. dance could wait till next week. hope they didn't teach too many new steps. but igor's was fun! i won't say more lest you have not gone and wish to. wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise/shock factor! well, this is what i mean by the unpredictability of my life at the moment!

alanis morissette said something cool on mtv. i've probably seen that clip a million times but never heard this part. she said that now she was beginning to see things as more sacred than precious. more sacred than precious. she has yet to fail me!

staring at the word "precious" too long till now it looks funny. i'm smiling! goodbye!
