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.
Not all the moments can be captured. Some can never be placed down in words. Others have such an impact that words are used to share with the rest. By sharing, I do hope it inspires people, allows some reflections, hits the hearts and probably encourages. I treasure moments and those who share them with me...

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.

Lives in a Different World
A small airport with minimal.
Roads with traffic busting in congestion.
Traffic lights disregarded by many.
Lives of people pace on.
Vegetation on pieces of land.
Various fruit plants scattered along.
The sight of red land, rich in minerals.
Lives of people strive on.
The lack of proper infrastructure.
The slums as main housing for many.
Jobs of any to self provide a living.
Lives of people go on.

The lives of simplicity as happiness.

Style and Individuality
Style is defined as - A quality of imagination and individuality expressed in one's actions and tastes.
Individuality is defined as - The aggregate of qualities and characteristics that distinguish one person or thing from others.
I expressed my views on this few years ago and pretty recent this year. However, what really pricked me was seeing it happening again, slowly but with confirmations that I was not too sensitive.
I am not saying that I set trends in my world. I wear what I feel most comfortable in and what brings the most out of me. Taking my own style along with my individuality. It is me. Those who know me, can roughly guess what I normally wear. From my casuals to party wear. There are a few brands that I am totally into and I take them along all these years. What is in fashion may not be suitable for you and I. They can be regarded as references to be updated somehow. However, the style that you owned is who you are. We may like the same things, even buy the same piece of thing, however, the individuality remains.
I should spare the details as it can be rather sensitive. I just feel that my style has been carbonised and reflected like a mirror image, right there in front of me. I cannot make a statement to say it was CC. After all, everyone has a right to dress the way they want.
My only consolation is that an individual carries their own statement. Though carbonised, the other hardly brings it out, it does not belong and match. Am I saying all these just to comfort self? It does not fit that style and individuality of the other.
I hope you guys out there are not experiencing what I have been. If you are, I totally understand that stir of feelings and imbalance of emotions.
Style and individuality, is yours truly.
