Week Number 121

1) In what movie is the most violent scene you've ever seen?

I don't really like violent movies and have a very low tolerance on these type of movies. However, I was watching this so called historical movie, Joan of Arc and of course it is dealing with wars and the atrocities of it. But the very end of the movie when she was burnt was a little too horrible for me to forget so to speak.

2) Of all the people you know, who would make the most successful TV evangelist?

None. The people I know would never think of becoming a TV evangelist.

3) Who is the person who most deserves to be rewarded for something?

I am not sure about this question either. All parents who had cared diligently for their children, I guess. Parenting is just so hard.

4) When was the last time you cried and why?

About a month ago because of some misunderstanding with my brother. All sorted out now. He got sick physically because of our misunderstanding as well.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

This photo reminds me of a cabin in the woods. Since there are not much modern facilities in the woods, therefore the wooden fire place.

Week Number 117

1) What is the worst experience you have ever had in a car?

I was resting with my eyes closed while hubby was driving. Then something made me open my eyes and I saw a speeding bus turning a steep corner losing control with its tail just inches away from the car. The bus then spin a full round of 360° and overturned by the curb. We barely made it but fortunately our side of the road curb was wide and hubby managed to drive to the side to avoid the collision. Surprisingly none of the passengers were hurt even though the bus was lying on its side by then.

2) Who is your personal hero, and why?

Jesus as he was the role model for someone who had strong faith in God.

3) Name the one thing you have done that has caused you the most guilt during your lifetime.

I don't know how to answer this question. I try to look forward instead of regretting the past. If I had wronged anyone, I try to make amends as soon as I can.

4) What is the most important duty or chore you perform regularly?

Blogging as it is my work now.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Week Number 116

1) What are the three most important family values in your family? For the world? Are they the same?

For my family would be trust, love and respect. For the world would be love, justice and peace. I think love is the common value here. When dealing with a close one and the world in general, I think other issues and values take precedence.

2) Name your least favorite candy. Why do you dislike it so much?

This is hard. I have a sweet tooth and I generally like candy. If I absolutely have to choose, I think soft sticky ones are what I dislike. I mean those that stick to the teeth and you need to keep chewing until they dissolve or something. They make my jaws ache.

3) Among your friends, which would you choose as the next Pope?

None of my friends would want to be the next Pope!

4) What is the slowest realization you've ever come to?

About me being a perfectionist. Not with regards to expectations on others but on myself.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Just wondering here why a small narrow road like this would have a SLOW sign painted on it? I mean is there a likelihood any vehicle would speed on this narrow road in the first place? Perhaps it is to warn of animals crossing but would make more sense to have those sign board ones than painted on the road.

Week Number 110

1) What hour of the day goes the slowest for you?

1pm - 3pm. It feels hot and sluggish during the afternoons for me. I always feel like sleeping off these hours of the day.

2) What is the difference between boys and girls?

The way they communicate.

3) Write your own epitaph.

Hmm...I wish to be cremated but if there is to be a tombstone then just a simple - Here lies the beloved wife of ...

4) What is the worst habit you've ever had?

Procrastination.

5) Show and Tell.

I have recently read Nineteen Minutes (about high school shootout) and Second Glance (about spirits from the past) so this picture reminds me of these two novels.

Week Number 109

1) If you spoke English with an accent other than the one you currently have, how would you chose to sound?
Hmm...if I am still living where I am living, I guess I sound alright. Otherwise, I would be unintelligible. Sometimes I cringe when I listen to certain people speak. They sound all weird and like a fake.

2) Be honest: how do you feel about people who smoke?
I hate it. Smoking is not natural. We would be alarm and douse a machine if it smokes. What more, a living being? So it is all true and real that smoking kills. It has to because common sense tells us that living things can't survive for long if we smoked it. I would literally distance myself physically from a smoker.

3) Whose death touched your own sense of mortality the most?
I guess none yet because I haven't been able to relate to anyone's death to myself.

4) What has been the most difficult promise you have ever kept? Why?
I am not sure about this question. I try not to make promises that I can't keep.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

I don't really know what those insects are on the tree but they remind me of the plague of gadflies in Moses' time. Exodus 8:20-24

Week Number 106

1) Who is the biggest hypocrite you have ever met?

I don't really know because everyone has shades of grey in them including myself.

2) "I usually cry when I watched really sad movies."

3) Name some of your superstitions and explain why you think you believe in them.

No, I don't believe in superstitions.

4) What one thing in your life would you most like to complete?

My piano lessons. I stopped at Grade 3 or 4 and didn't pursue it anymore. Actually I got bored.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Err...this is George Washington, right? Sorry I am very poor at history.

Curious as a Cat- Week 105

1) What is the most abnormal thing about yourself?

Not sure. I don't think I would stand out in a crowd. Nothing abnormal nor extraordinary either.

2) What is the ugliest outfit you ever remember wearing?

I wear Punjabi suits now but certain colours and patterns are just so hideous. Swampy green with yellowish motifs. Yucks! Wore it once (in private) and hubby said to throw it away. Alas, it was a gift from an elderly lady who treats hubby and I like her children, so I came into possession of such an outfit.

3) If you could physically destroy one thing, what would it be and how would you do it?

My kitchen sink by sitting on it. It is a flimsy one and if I could I would like to get a better one.

4) When were you closest to being a champion?

I got number 3 for a sewing competition back in Standard 4 (10 years old).

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Queuing for food at the canteen. I see the penguins walking slowly in a line and I just thought about school and canteen. Perhaps the almost uniform colour and pattern of the penguin's plumage also reminds me of school days.

Curious as a Cat- Week 104

1) If you could know the location (i.e., heaven, hell, other) of any one person's soul, whose would you ask about?

Well, I believe that when a person dies, he goes back to the dust. However, in the resurrection when righteous ones are brought back to life on earth, I would like to meet and speak to Noah who build the ark with his family, Abraham who is called God's friend, Jonah who was swallowed by a big fish and remained in its belly for 3 days, Moses with the famous splitting of the Red Sea and many others.

2) When was the last time you literally screamed at the top of your lungs?
I can't remember.

3) What do you think is the most beautiful word in the English language? The least beautiful? Not sure how to answer this question.

4) What is the most cowardly thing you've ever done?

Pushing a naughty little girl away from lap. She was bouncing on me and it felt uncomfortable. I pushed a little too hard and she fell down. I didn't apologize. I felt bad and sorry afterwards.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Are candle light dinners romantic?
When I was newly married, my husband and I too entertained the notion that sitting in a semi dark restaurant with candles around us is the symbol of romance that can enhance love and marriage. So why wouldn't a newly married couple celebrate their first few wedding anniversaries in a restaurant with such ambiance?
Let me recalled one such dinner. We ordered something called steak and lamb chop. Two glasses of drinks that came with umbrellas though we didn't order those (the umbrellas, I mean). One thing I am not use to are these "gourmet" food. I mean the steak and lamb chops come is mini-sized portion and "decorated" with carrot flowers that are inedible, I always feel unsatisfied and still hungry after the meal. Of course the umbrella that came with the drinks can't be eaten as well. And we end up with an exorbitant bill afterwards. I don't know about you but with my stomach still hungry and the wallet flattened, it just takes out whatever romantic feeling there is!

Week Number 103

1) Who do you think is the most moral political leader in power today?

I don't know any.

2) Do you have a "lucky" color? A "lucky" number? "Lucky" clothes?

No, I don't.

3) Who is the worst-dressed person you know?

I generally keep company with folks who dressed decently. Therefore, most of the people I know dress sensibly. To me worst-dressed means bizarre fashion that vie for attention. I also feel very uncomfortable around people who wears revealing clothes. They are paying more to wear less.

4) What is the best thing you have ever had for breakfast?

I still like my muesli with milk.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Reminds me of the television series BayWatch.

Curious as a Cat- Week 102

1) If you were to become a TV evangelist, how would you do your hair?

I will never be a TV evangelist. But I like my hair short because having long hair is not so good for my skin condition. It causes some rashes at the back of my neck and forehead.

2) Do you remember the first time you were on the internet? What did you do first?

I first started being interested in the internet to find out about earning online. I was not into games, music or movies then. I mean those were not my priority and neither are they now. So I got into paid to read or paid to click (PTR/PTC), surveys, investments and all sorts of stuff. And now somehow through the forums and friends, I got into blogging.

3) If you could pair up any two single people you know, who would you pick?

This is a tricky question and I am not much of a match maker. I prefer that people get to know each other. If they personally ask for my opinion, that is a different matter. However, when I sometimes see two individuals who may be compatible, I do speak indirectly or in jest. One couple did get together and married later on. At this moment, no one in particular that I can think of.

4) What was the biggest fight you have ever had with someone?

Hmm...not sure if you will believe what I say but I don't remember. There are incidents here and there but they are all resolved in the end so there is no point in bringing them up. I hate confrontations and would do my level best to avoid unpleasant moments with people. If I am in the wrong, I would apologize immediately and hope people that know me well will not think I intentionally hurt them.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

This photo reminds me of castles and knights. Just share a joke that I've read.

While riding on a bus, Jamie overheard one woman ask another, with great curiosity. "Well, what happened on your date with dashing Prince Lancelot?"
"Yuk!" was the disillusioned reply. "He was more like disgusting Prince Lust-a-lot and I was the one who needed the suit of armor!"

Curious as a Cat- Week 101

1) If you could teach one person a lesson in humility, who would you choose?

Myself. I wouldn't say that I am a proud person but I have too high expectations on myself and others. It makes me difficult and also depress when I can't meet up to the expectations that I have set. Sometimes, I rely on my own strength and abilities too much. Then when I had an acute flare up of eczema, I was devastated. I couldn't go out of the house and depression sets in. I was overwhelmed by my own condition. I think in this situation, if I could be more humble and modest with myself, it would greatly helped that I can accept my situation and carry on. It took sometime for me to figure it out and I wouldn't say that I have completely adjusted to my condition too.

2) Do you prefer silver or gold jewelry?

Interesting that this question is asked. I like silver better. Not sure why but I don't look so good with gold jewelry. Besides jewelry, even my spectacle frames, I would try to get silver or coloured ones rather than gold.

3) Which relative would you gladly never see again?

Hmm...not sure how to answer this as I am not too close to all of my relatives. I guess I don't mind seeing ALL of them once in a while. I find that I don't have much to talk about with relatives. No common ground. I didn't really create a rapport with them when I was a kid, so it is rather difficult to start as an adult. So it has always been, "Oh, you have grown taller!" or "What a nice dress you have on," kind of relationship with my relatives.

4) What experience has made you wisest?

I guess since it had an impact on my life until now, it would be having my skin problem. I have to deal with it on a day to day basis, so always a learning process. It is not bad all the time and there are medicine to control it but I do need to adjust my schedule and control my stress level as well.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

I am thinking of an evacuation like there has been a call to evacuate a certain area because of seismological readings. That is a study of earthquake.

Curious as a Cat-Week Number 100

1) If you could have the characters from any painting come to life, which painting would you choose?

The Last Supper but I know it is not possible.

2) What athlete do you have the most respect for? Why?

Hmm...not sure about this. I am not a fan of any sports.

3) What physical ailment would you most like to avoid as you age?

Alzheimer's disease or any kind that makes one looses one's mind or mental faculty.

4) What is the most disturbing sound you know of?

Howling wind when it seeps through the windows. But other types of course include screaming children, heavy machinery, sirens, heavy metal and the list can go on.

It is a great holiday retreat! Jamie is so happy to finally reach the cabin at the mountain top. It has been a rather hazardous drive to maneuver her four wheel drive along the winding road because the road is wet with melted snow but she really needed to get away from the city for awhile. Along the journey she is glad to have Jack to keep her company. Jack has been with her since he was a week's old puppy. Jamie got Jack from the neighbour who had too many puppies to care for and gave one to Jamie as a gift. She loved Jack from from the first day she laid eyes on him.

Jamie played, slept and ate with Jack. He is likened to a part of the family. She is ever so happy to find Jack excitedly wagging it's tail in pleasure at seeing her home from college and later when she started work. She likes to tickle his ears to make it bark crazily! She has told many stories and secrets to Jack knowing that he is always so understanding and never judging. Although folks say that dogs are man's best friend but Jamie loved Jack as if he is her best friend.

The cabin is a family retreat home that is well equipped and nicely furnished little cottage. There is really no need for Jamie to chop wood or get groceries as the cabin is also maintained by a keeper that is hired to check on the cabin once a month for supplies. Or if the family is coming for a longer stay, they will call the keeper to arrange all that is needed. Jamie has visited the cabin alone with Jack many times to meditate and rest.

After setting her stuff in the room, she took Jack for a quiet walk outside. Jack is exhilarated and he is barking and exercising his legs running around. After all he is on familiar grounds. While happily chasing and playing with Jack, suddenly Jamie's leg caught on something and she felt a sharp pain shot through her thighs and hips instantly forcing her to kneel down. She bellowed for Jack to support her to the cabin. Surprisingly, Jack fled from the scene! Jamie is panicking now. She left her mobile phone in the cabin and she wondered if she could crawl to the cabin on her own. When she tried to stand on her feet, she let out a sharp cry and fell back on to the snow. She started to cry.

Suddenly she heard a man's voice and felt a pair of strong hands helping her up and supporting her body. When Jamie wipe her tears away she saw a handsome guy with Jack tagging along! Jack hasn't abandon her after all! He had sense her pain and also his keen sense of smell had moved him to seek help. After helping Jamie to the cabin, the guy introduced himself as Jack as well. When he first saw Jack the dog, he knew something must have happened to the owner because Jack was frantic. And when Jack the guy, followed Jack the dog to the scene of Jamie's accident, he heard Jamie called out his name! So he quickly came to her rescue. Now Jamie has TWO loved ones in her life named Jack.

Week Number 99

1) If heaven looked like the inside of a friend's home, whose would you pick?

Hmm...I don't know how to answer this. I feel that the company makes it "comfortable" to be with someone whether at their homes or outdoors.

2) If you could redesign your country's flag, (how) would you?

Gulp...design a flag? Err...not sure. There isn't any artistic fiber in me. Not for home decoration nor anything graphic.

3) What question--that you have never worked up the courage to ask--would you like to ask your best friend?

Let me see. Something pertaining to my appearance or weight, I guess. Not that he will lie about it but I can't take the "truth" from him. Hahaha...

4) Who has caused you the most frustration in your life?

My sister.

Coreen is fed up with her marriage of 15 years. She is about to call it quits. Why can't James be the romantic guy that she dated? Where has the guy that she stole kisses in front of her parent's home gone to when he won't even kiss her goodbye if the kids are around now? What happened to the guy who picked wild flowers to put in her hair when he can't even get a stalk of rose for her birthday? Her husband is always working and talking about job related matters while she had sacrifice her career to be the full time housewife and mother to their two children. But she needed more emotionally. She is a woman and wife besides a mother!

Although she just wanted to pack up and leave, she owes James one last chance before calling it quits. She said down with tears streaming down her cheek and wrote him a letter, an ultimatum. On the next day to work, James felt that Coreen acted a little strange this morning when she packed him his lunch. It was like she is not really there when he took his brief case from her. He had a hunch that there might be more in his lunch than just food. He opened his brief case and saw the letter. It says:

Dear James,

I am writing this letter as a last resort. Perhaps I am feeling a little edgy and unreasonable at this moment but I am suffocating emotionally in our marriage. I longed for the man that promised me to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part." I need that affirmation again.

So this is what I am proposing. There is this wire that is set up between two polls at the end of the road by the barn yard. I am asking if you are willing to walk across it as a tight rope to show your love to me?

Or else? I am leaving...


Your desperate wife,
Coreen.

Coreen was waiting impatiently for her husband's phone call or return that evening. She is curious at how her James would react to her ultimatum of a letter. Surprisingly, James acted as if he didn't read the letter at all. He is his usual self the whole evening and night. When she hinted by asking how was his day at the office and whether anything unusual happened, he just started his speech about the clients, workmates and other work related matters. Coreen is disappointed.

The next day, after sending James off, Coreen decided to pack her suit case and leave. As she carried her suit cases down the stairs, she noticed that there is an envelope addressed to her. It is from James! He replied:

To my dearest wife,

As much as you might be awaiting for positive affirmation to your proposal, my answer to it is a NO! My dear Coreen, I would not be doing anything remotely dangerous for you or anyone else for the matter. I will seriously take care of my health and well being for all it takes. You see my dear, I must save my limbs to rub your back during the special time of the month. I would want to hold your hand when we cross the road when we are in our 70s or 80s. I need to preserve my legs to go shopping with you and carry the groceries for you or even to take out the garbage so it doesn't stink the kitchen that you toil in daily. I need well supported shoulders for you to cry on when you are frustrated with the kids. I need my back to be intact when I hold you during the times when you had fallen sick.

I may not be the most romantic husband on the earth but I do love you, Coreen.

Your ever faithful husband,
James.

Coreen could not stopped the tears now. When she heard the fumbling of keys, she flew to the door to find James carrying milk and bread instead of flowers or chocolates. She flew into his arms and wept.

Curious as a Cat- Week 98

1) If there is someone in your life who has been your symbolic lighthouse, who would it be?

My husband. Always guiding and taking care of me, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

2) What career would you like to try for a year? Why?

I am not that adventurous and imaginative enough to try a new career. Perhaps being a "problogger" or one earning through blogging is a challenging enough career for me. From part time tutor to problogger then.

3) If you could be more focused in one area of your life, what would it be?

Spirituality.

4) What was the best gift you ever gave to someone?

Listening ear.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

It was New Year's Eve and Reena doesn't have a date for the party hosted by the new company that she had just joined a couple of months ago. It is not that she is not a sociable person, it is just that she has so much to learn and get settled in this new company. There are files to peruse, folders to organize, new people and clients to meet and even to refresh her product knowledge of the company that she now represents.

"What will I do at the party tonight by myself?" Reena thought about calling her ex boyfriend but she knew that he has probably got a date by now and they weren't really the best of pals after the breakup. But that is another story...

Reena thought about just NOT going for the party but she couldn't afford to miss the opportunity to make her presence felt at the new company. Besides, her employers and colleagues need to get to know their Chief in Editor at Today's Fashion, don't they?

So with a heavy heart, Reena put on the new little pleated strapless cocktail dress that she bought for the occasion. Oh yes, she had indeed put in some effort to get this dress. After all she is young, single and available and the New Year might just bring her a new life of romance as well!

As Reena arrived ALONE, at the party, she was greeted with a very festive and cheerful atmosphere of purple and red ornaments. There were pink and lavender ribbons on the walls and ceiling. Reena felt happy and cheerful already just by being there. After doing her round of social greetings, the shout of the countdown for the New Year began...10, 9, 8...

Reena though joyful, just step back into the shadow while the other staff got together with their partners and dates to be kissed. 7, 6, 5...

Reena felt someone walking towards her. It was Marcus, her ex boyfriend! She couldn't believe her eyes! There he is standing right in front of her in his handsome self in a tuxedo. He is holding his hand out to her...4, 3, 2...

Reena broke into a comfortable smile and reach out to Marcus. At the count of ONE, they came together for a kiss that is both familiar and curious, with a tinge of hope and promise.

Curious as a Cat- Week 97

1) If God agreed to grant you one favor, what would you ask?
Good health.

2) If you could only give one gift to someone (with cost not an issue), what would you give and to whom?
A car for my hubby. Nothing fanciful but a practical one. Now we are sharing.

3) If you could have one extra hour each day to do only one thing, what would you do in that hour?
Read.

4) Who is the person you know with the freest spirit?
Free spirit means somebody not afraid to flout convention: somebody who lives the way he or she wants to, regardless of what convention dictates or what others expect

Jesus Christ since he had a purpose to fulfilled on earth, he did what he was to do despite being very unpopular with the religious leaders of his time. Conventionally, for people from his background, folks get married and have children. But Jesus had to preach the good news of the Kingdom and therefore he was always on the move to do the preaching work.

Week Number 96

1) Finish this sentence: "I hate myself when I am sick and can't go outdoors to do what I wanted to do."

2) How much time do you spend on the phone or IMing with friends every day?
Hmm...depends on my mood. With the availability of internet, I would say I only spend about 5-10 minutes daily. This includes the time friends text back, of course. Perhaps weekends is longer period.

3) What strategy would you implement to deal with drug abuse in today's world?
Increase in spirituality and fear of God, strengthening of the family bond, choosing the right associates or friends, and if addicted seek medical and professional help.

4) What thing about your family are you least proud of?
Lack of affection. I don't mean that there is no love in my family ( I mean my parents and siblings), just that we don't show it through hugs or even handshakes. But we are learning to.

Curious as a Cat - Week 94 and 95

Curious as a Cat

1) What three things do you value most about your religion or spiritual practices?
Neutrality stand, sharing the good news of the Kingdom and free from idols.

2) Is there a way that you feel inferior to other people generally? Why do you think this is?
I feel inferior when I put on too much expectations on myself. When things don't turn out the way I want, I tend to give up than get up and try again. As to the general feeling of intimidation, it is more of the look and appearance of the other person than their personality that I have the inferior feelings to. Usually when I get to know the other person better, I feel we all have the same fears and challenges.

Mid Valley Megamall

3) Where is your favorite mall? Why?
Mid Valley Megamall. It has the biggest bookshop in southeast Asia. Mph Book Store.

4) For whom have you had the most sympathy or pity?
Not a particular person but I pity young people and the elderly because young ones have tough choices and decisions to make in life and without guidance and direction can just feel so lost and insecure most of the time. The elderly because being dependent on others is really a fearful thing. Getting disoriented and confused.

There is no snow here in Malaysia, so I can only relate this picture with a camp fire.

1) If you had to experience one trauma your mother has gone through so that you could better understand her, what would you choose?
Giving birth to me so I will learn to appreciate her more.

2) What is the most revolting combination of colors you can imagine?
Dark purple colour for a house! No kidding! Wish I took a photo of that abominable looking house! Colours are really interesting. The same colour purple on lavender is so pleasant but on a house or car...Phew!

3) If you could punish the most difficult person at your workplace, what would you do, and to whom?
I work from home now. So if I get difficult with myself, I will punish myself by sending me to bed for the rest of the day!

4) What is the thing you know the most about?
Duh...not sure. Life is about learning. Was it Albert Einstein who said "The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know."

1) Name an event where the power of the crowd was inspiring.

I guess any sports events. I mean the cheers are deafening.

2) What is your oldest article of clothing that you still wear?

This is a tough one. A maroon coloured business jacket that my mother gave me.

3) If you were to describe your first "real" kiss, what would you say?

Hmm...curiosity, warm, eager...

4) When were you most moved by a ceremony?

My friend's wedding, not so much as the ceremony itself but they sang (the Bride and Groom) a love song to entertain us guests!

1) What period of your past life do you think or dream about most?

The 20's. That was when I am most energetic and accomplishing much that matters.

2) Describe the kitchen in the house in which you grew up.

My mother is not much of a interior designer or decorator. Cupboard were covered with vinyl. Not sure if I got the material right here. Plastic looking material with smooth surface. All in bright blue! Table tops, cabinets and drawers.

3) In what store would you like to work? Why?

Book stores or vcd stores. Internet cafe is not bad either.

4) What was the most difficult choice you were ever forced to make?

My baptism. My parents are not Christian. Not forced to make this decision but something I need to do obviously.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Another day of monotony at the office. As Sara was looking out of the window of her office, she wished that she is somewhere sunbathing by the beach. And suddenly she yearns to be at the beach savouring some grilled corn on the cob. She felt her mouth watering.

She quickly finishes typing the invoices and glance repetitively at the clock hung by the wall. How she wished that the hands of the clock would fast forward to the time when Sara will meet up with David at the cozy dine-in restaurant later. She could picture the little restaurant with sweet smelling candles everywhere and the distinctive bouquet of sunflowers by the cashier.

When the clock strikes 5, Sara quickly gathered her stuff and headed out of the office. She need to get home before 6pm so that she can be ready when David arrives. Just as she turns the corner into her lane, she smelled something strange. A few feet away, she saw a stall selling roasted chestnuts. Sara bought a packet and thought to herself, ok, this is not exactly grilled corn on the cob by the beach but roasted chestnuts on my way home sounds just as good!

* Just felt a little creative today.

Week Number 91

1) Which one person would you choose to understand you better?

My sister. And for me to understand her better too. Relationships work both ways.

2) What do you think is the best age to be? Why?

For me is the 20's. Kind of still energetic but not hyper as in teens. Illness had made it less easy for me in my 30's now.

3) Of all the people you know, who would be the easiest to seduce? Why?

My hubby. Well, we are married now, aren't we?

4) What's the best advice you didn't heed?

Go do some exercise. Now I can't fit in to most of my dresses, not to mention to the detriment of my health, emotionally and physically.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

If the clock is showing that time in the morning and I am looking at it, it means that I had a sleepless night. I have that rather often due to ezcema, which is a skin problem.
