(for this I had to give up)
A Story similar to mine,
~

~
three/three six five: Dance was my life
~
"Dance was my passion.
I used to train rhythmic gymnastics and ballet for a total of 15 hours a week.
People said I could go far, but guess what?
I had to give it up. I developed serious back problems (scoliosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc syndrome...).
So the doctors said if I carried on, I would end up with life threataning problems...
It was one of the most hardest things I had to do.
I have many medals and cups.
I dedicated my life to dance, but Ihad to give it up..."

The clock stroked 00:00hours.
A text massage came in from YOU
"HAPPY 1st Year! Many more to come! Now... it's time to go and search for your present."
In fact, I knew he had already gotten the present for me, so I played along. But what I didn't know was...THE PRESENT WAS ALREADY HIDING SOMEWHERE IN MY MESSY ROOM (for 2weeks since I returned from Phuket)! He is so full of surprises(:

(i know you would sit with me but what about FRIENDS?)

~
Don't you just wonder sometimes, if you do runaway, who would mind? Who would be worried? Who would come looking for you? and who would just sit there and say "....I'll always be here for you, my friend."

Signing off feeling rather disappointed.

(welcome me home with open arms)

~
"I see it as it looked one afternoon
In August,—by a fresh soft breeze o'erblown.
The swiftness of the tide, the light thereon,
A far-off sail, white as a crescent moon.
The shining waters with pale currents strewn,
The quiet fishing-smacks, the Eastern cove,
The semi-circle of its dark, green grove.
The luminous grasses, and the merry sun
In the grave sky; the sparkle far and wide,
Laughter of unseen children, cheerful chirp
Of crickets, and low lisp of rippling tide,
Light summer clouds fantastical as sleep
Changing unnoted while I gazed thereon.
All these fair sounds and sights I made my own."

(a thousand laughter till my heart contents)
Ola, my fellow readers!
I've returned from my 3D2N trip to a little island in Indonesia.
To be honest neither the hotel rooms my friends & I stayed were of any first class standard nor the spa massages we had was as good as the ones in Phuket or Bintan.
However, given such a good location for all three rooms at a good rate for a package worth less than S$250nett with all meals provided plus two free spa massages thrown in, one mustn't complain.
Not forgetting the most important factor, 'the company you are going with on the trip'.
Mine sure was terrific.
Had too many laughs.

p/s - pictures will be posted on FB when I get them.

Anyway, I was reading Female a few days back and I came across a 2-pg write up on 'Why You Should Go..' to the following four countries (Kochi, India/Chiang Mai, Thailand/Phuket, Thailand/Langkawi, Malaysia) to escape from the grind.
And out of the four, "Luxury Hotspot: Phuket, Thailand" was featured.
This leads me to say that I'll be flying there again.

You may be saying, "What? Again?"

But what can I say, it lives up to its given title in the magazine - Luxury Hotspot.
And just like one of my friend said, I'm like on a holiday spree this break.
So off I go again till the weekend ends...


Adeus.
