Wake me up when it is September!

After going through the fog, as dense as the greens in a forest, I think I have settled for something from within my heart. I know I am going to miss the past few years I spent, at the same time, I am so going to catch up with those human moments I have missed.

Life is not all about self after all. Many times, friends tell me, "It is time to think for yourself." True as it is. However, what will my life me without others I heart, love and care for? I struggled with a decision, for a year or two. I asked myself, how long can I do with just me and the occasional my dearests and I. I asked, a carefree versus a stress-more life, a chaotic versus a healthier lifestyle, a lonesome versus a warmth surrounded soul... etc. Imagine the 'ding dongs' I went through. Ultimately, home is where I belong, where I can continue to grow and glow.

My decision was executed. Wake me up when it is September! One day to go! Actions will slowly roll in. Distance will slowly minimise.

MOVIE WORLD

Brisbane - sunny yet cold, with constant wind that sends chills. Anna and I decided to make a trip down to Movie World, Gold Coast.


We took a train from the city. Along the way, we had doubts that we were on the right track. We were busy catching up, ignoring the platform information and where we were heading. We headed on the right track nevertheless, the bus shuttle to Movie World caused us to stand in the windy condition, jumping around to keep warm.


Once we arrived, the kids in us sprang alive! We were hungry for food but the rides took the hunger away. We went straight on the SUPERMAN Escape, something with speed and height! The adrenaline shot right through! the ride with screams and laughters. Then we headed for Shrek 4D Adventure. One cool experience, with spiders crawling down your legs and non-stop horse rides in a dark theatre. Thereafter to Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster. The interior filled with that familiar funny voice and unexpected turns on the coaster! We had our hands up all the way just to add to the excitement.


We were then just in time for the parade on the main street. The familiar characters of WB, and superheroes. What I wanted was to take pictures with the characters, which was not available somehow. Disappointed slightly. I want to hug my Tweety and Taz! We then decided to eat but when we saw yet another ride, we went for it. The Wild Wild West Falls Adventure Ride. Beware - U get real wet! Reverse turns, high drops from the tops, we ended up wet! Cold and wet, we finally settled down for food! Kid's meal, with batman's mask as free gift! We gave the masks away to little ones after posing in it. We then walked around at the Kid's Fun Zone and headed to shop for a few things. Time flies when we all are having fun!

It was a fun time just for Anna and I. Though my camera went flat at the very beginning, I had Anna's to capture those few moments. If only the characters were there... and it was less windy to pose for more! A must-try, SUPERMAN Escape!

Holiday and then?

What contributes to a great Holiday? The factors are all different for us. For me, it is the quality time I get to spend with someone discovering the place, sharing the food and doing the shopping together. This holiday did allow me to rediscover someone dear and also self. Nothing beats a break from the routines, familiar sounds and environment, right? Besides, this time, everything was planned for me. What more can I ask for? Uber, "the pillars" in my life, how lazy can I get from now? LOL. Though I am still independent as a "little girl".

Moving on to another chapter of life it seems. Still a fog out there for me. What's next is a BIG question mark. SOS! I am starting to feel choke at times. Whatever it is, I kept weighing the time I am losing with my precious ones. Is this yet a calling for me to return or just a form of missing dear ones? In time to come, I will know, and everyone else will come to learn about my final decision. Scary... drum rolls... till the next update!

Sorry folks, just no time for details at the moment.
