Airplane seats!

Just got off a 12 hours flight and had maximum of 1 hour sleep on and
off. The seat is supposed to be "new and improved" on Cathay Pacific!
It's the kind with the sliding seat in a shell. I have to say it's
the second most uncomfortable airplane seat I've ever been in. Number
one most uncomfortable seat goes to Tiger Airways. Don't think I'll be
flying with them ever again! It really puzzles me! Why do they have
to make the seats SO uncomfortable? I'm sure most people are with me
on this one.

6 months of happiness!

Can't believe it's been six months since I've been unemployed!  That also means six months of depression free. It is true that time goes by so quickly when you are enjoying it.  I hope this happiness can last forever.  Now that I've started my new venture, Bella Ricca, I hope it will provide me what is needed to continue my happiness.  Wish me luck!

Another one down, 3 more to go.

Just celebrated my 37th birthday yesterday. My boyfriend asked, "How do you feel? Being one year older?" I thought about it for a second and said, "Urrrg...about the same?!" He replied, "Yeah...that's about right!". Oh well, I am considering throwing a big party for my big Four-O. A round-the-world trip would be beyond awesome. Will see how it goes...

I don't recognize myself!!

I looked at myself in the mirror tonight, and I didn't recognize this
face! It is the weirdest thing I felt I years!! How come I don't
recognize myself in the mirror??? Am I going crazy? So strange...

Lucky day?

My birthday is not until a few days later, and I've got a treat
already. Whenever I order BBQ Pork and Chicken Rice, I usually
receive boney chicken with little meat. When I saw this lovely rice
plate shoved in front of me over the fast food counter, I was
completely shocked. Half a chicken leg!!! AND no fat on BBQ pork!
Do I look very pretty today so the chef decided to be nice to me??
Anyway, I am feeling lucky today with a very satisfied stomach.

A Breakthrough!?

A new month began. Yesterday, I decided to take a plunge and bought a domain name with web hosting as the first baby step to starting my own business. Today, I went to my daily yoga class as usual. Tried to take it easy today and didn't expect anything special to happen. What can happen in a Hatha1 class anyway? Towards the end of the class, our instructor told us to get ready to do the Wheel pose. I had never been able to the the pose. The best I could do was to stick the top of my head on the floor to support the weight of my upper body. The instructor told us not to be afraid and try even if we can't do it. She said the Wheel pose just came to her all of a sudden and it will happen to us too! And VOILA!!! It happened to ME!!! Although I can only hold the pose for 2 seconds, I am beyond thrilled...just like the first time I was able to stick the top of my head on the floor trying to do this pose! Today is a day to be remembered! :D

Current Status: Temporarily Retired

It's been almost 5 months since I quit my job.  Totally loving this new life but I have trouble filling out forms for the "Occupation" section.  I'm obviously not a Housewife and it's not nice to use the word Unemployed.  A young woman who sat next to me in a restaurant today is in a similar situation.  I shamelessly eavesdropped on her conversation with the 2 men who sat next to her on the other side.  Apparently, she's quit her job a few months ago and has been traveling around Asia with an open end ticket.  She called herself retired and I should use this status as well.  Unfortunately, I can't afford to be retired for much longer so it will have to be temporary!
