Alamak....

Eeeeee...malu laa....does this means that my friends who knows me will be viewing my postings at footloose....alamak...malu nye....

Actually, what happened was......I was invited to write, I thought is at their blogspot.....and being new to all this, I had accidently placed my blogspot on for all to see....eeeee

Oh..oh...maybe not...I had been mistaken. What I saw was my dashboard...so it has their blog and mine listed there. Ishhh...what a relief....I'm actually a very private person and don't wish to reveal myself and my ramblings to my friends. Writing on this blog is to help me practise writing and help me put my thoughts on paper.....but I do not feel comfortable if people who know me read what I write....eventhough what I write is actually nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that....I don't feel comfortable. That is why, I never keep a diary. I tried to have a diary once....but the fear of somebody else reading what is inside of me put me off. So....I'll be more comfortable if you cannot pinpoint who I am.

Tai Ji

Hi all,
Has been more than a month since last I posted on this blog. Trouble is being new to doing all this, it takes time to familiarise how to do these postings....and not having a lot of spare time to learn is a liability....and....since my last posting, I've been to Pulau Ketam and to Surabaya. Took a few photos of my travels...but alas...my laptop was infested by the dreaded viruses....and all my photos are in the laptop. The laptop is with my son...he is in the computer business...he should know what to do....so he'll try to salvage as much as he can from the hard disc.. hopefully...my photos can be saved.

This week I've been going to my Tai Chi classes by the lake where I'm staying. I've always admired those I saw practising their Tai Chi whenever I get round to having my morning exercises. And I'm determined to practise Tai Chi every morning.......so that I can master the art. May be Tai Chi can help me improve my health. The last time I went for my check up, the doctor gave me statins to control my cholesterol and hypertension. Oh well.....all these comes with old age..and having a sedentary lifestyle makes it worse....

So...off I go until my next posting....

How it all started

This year 2007, I will be celebrating my 50th birthday and I wish to make my 50th year different from all my other years. Growing up...going to school...getting married and having children....I've had it all. Now I'm free.....well...at least...almost.....I still have my youngest son, at school....my daughter, at college and another son, finishing his last semester at University. Oh well....they are all grown ups now.....and I can relax and enjoy my last few years in this world....blogging!!

What a beautiful world this is. I feel, it was just yesterday that I was a sweet 17...on my way to Oxford to study for my A Levels. It was in 1975........ and studying computer language 'fortran' in my university years was really mind-boggling to me....... and having to arrange all those punched cards and get them right every time......I suppose kids these days cannot fully appreciate how lucky they are...to have a personal computer all to themselves and not having to bother punching all those cards.

So...back to my thoughts...... well....last night I thought.....well.... I love travelling ..... for leisure that is..... so why not I pen a few anecdotes on my travels or whatever beautiful sights the world has to offer. The world is so beautiful and there is so much to be thankful for..... Thank you dear God for all the beautiful things you offer to us......
