Leaving on a Jet Plane...

As the tittle suggest... I'm leaving... though not on a jet plane ah =D

My Contiki trip to the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Tao & Koh Pah Ngan is finally here! I'll be going with Chris who is my company's intern... She's going there to familiarise herself with Contiki's product, while I'm there just to soak in the sun! =)

Had wanted a break really badly when Chris asked me to join her for this trip. I can get staff discount so why the hell not? =D That was 3 months ago... Time really does fly!

My anticipation for the trip is weaning... Have always been a bad trait of mine... I cannot plan for holidays so long in advance.. I love last minute trips because my excitement level usually dwindle after some time. So last minute trips is the best because I can carry my excitement over to the holiday destination... hahaha! But nevertheless, I am still very much looking forward to this trip because I WANT TO EVEN OUT MY TAN.

I did not do any prior research for this trip, so I'm just going to go there with an open mind and soak in the experience along the way. That should be the way to travel, always with an open mind.

Will be flying off on Bangkok Airways, the only airline that flies directly to Koh Samui.

There's only one flight from Singapore to Koh Samui each way.

30 Apr   SIN-USM   ETD: 2010hrs   ETA: 2055hrs
08 May  USM-SIN   ETD: 1635hrs   ETA: 1920hrs

Heard that the airport in Koh Samui is very rustic and I love it! ^.^

Only downside to this trip is that I will miss my dragonboat training... and... oh well! 9 days will pass in a flash!

Oh! I just found out that Dadddy's going to Vietnam to climb some mountain! I am so proud of him! After conquering Mt Rinjani (I think) in Lombok last year, I think he is addicted to the sport! It's good to see him being so active at the ripe old age of 60! heh. Told mommy she should join him and carry his bags and cook for him... muahahaha!

Thailand, here I come!

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

That indescribable feeling

I was pondering to myself why people say that when you love someone, you couldn't give a reason why you love him/her. If you could give a reason, it just goes to show that you love those qualities in that person, not the person. In the past, I am a firm believer of the latter. That love has no reasons. When reflecting on my own relationship, I was thinking to myself whether is it really true. That love has no reasons. The romantic side of my thinks it's true, while the pragmatic side says otherwise. Here's what I have concluded. I love that my man is dependable, easy going, good natured, positive in attitude and outlook in life, stable. Basically the rock in my life (there's no need for any other rock, seriously). But hey... Lots of men possess the qualities stated above. But none is able to capture my heart like how he did. THAT is the reason I cannot find words to explain. THAT is why I am drawn to him and not any other guys that possesses the same qualities...

15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

[Quoted from http://www.purposefairy.com/ ] Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go: 1. Give up your need to always be right. There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make?...
