Yesterday was a twist from the ordinary. I have been kind of depressed of late. Even though I am home in

Malaysia

, I just wanted to hide in the confinements of my room and not see anyone. Nevertheless, I am thankful that I did step out of the house today.

My first stop was to the beauty shop. (Yeah, laugh all you want. There is nothing wrong with having my grooming done by professionals.) I was done in 30 minutes and I popped back into the house to doll up for my lunch meeting with Julie.

We had lunch at a rather fancy restaurant at Isetan. The ambience was good and we caught up over a rather scrumptious meal topped with dessert. I complained (as usual) and she listened (as always). Julie is cheerful, zesty and supportive as ever. She is not only my consultant. Above that, she is a close friend and dubbed “big sister.” Thank you, Julie for the fantastic lunch. All the best in everything you do! Remember, wherever God leads me, you will always welcome to visit me. I will have that comfortable bed ready and waiting for you.

I zoomed back to do some shopping and took a breather at home before battling the traffic to meet up with friends from JAC. After our rendezvous in the city, Siti and Shereen joined me in my “matchbox-on-wheels” as we braved the rush hour traffic to the other side of

Klang

Valley

for dinner. The distance and traffic was not too pleasant but Siti and Shereen enjoyed the entertainment of my driving. I lost my patience a few times and Siti had a blast hearing a few of my yellings which she had missed so much.

About an hour later, the entourage of 2 cars, 5 gals and a guy arrived at the restaurant of Susan’s choice. We met Elisa there and were soon joined by Wai Kea. Dinner was ENTERTAINING. It was

Malaysia

at its best! It was an all-you-can-eat steamboat (Chinese style fondue) with the highlights of tasty chicken wings which you have to grab them before they are gone. We were graced by Susan’s talents and had servings of chicken wings every 15 minutes. My heart to you, Susan. You made dinner fun and memorable in many ways.

I had the chance to speak with everyone and am grateful being able to see them again.

Moong Lin, thank you for always pampering me. You have been a good senior and friend. My best wishes to everything you do.

Wai Kea, it is always nice being able to chat with you. I am so sorry that I will not be able to make it to your wedding in November. I know I will be missing a lot and will be kicking myself for not being there. Nevertheless, my best wishes to you and your betrothed. I look forward to pictures and videos online.

Elisa, you are always so sweet and seeing you never fails to put a smile on my face. I hope all is well at work. I simply love the look and the warmth in you.

Shereen, I am happy to hear that you are doing well. I look forward to hearing more good news from you.

Siti, thank you for your prayers in advance and I look forward to seeing you in

Japan

. Congratulations once again.

Samuel, I am happy to be a part of your unforgettable birthday. Continue to go after your dreams! I hope you will get the birthday present you desire.

To all I have met yesterday: I missed each of you in a unique and personal way. You will always be in my heart and I wish you every good fortune. Thank you for everything. Seeing you guys again sure brought a ray of sunlight in my gloomy state. I love you guys. Many hugs and kisses to you. Do keep in touch.
