  • Whew, look at all the cobwebs...


    Still in the midst of brushing away the cobwebs on my blog. I think I saw a big spider scurrying away...

    Lots of things happened in the past couple of months. My husband became a victim of the recession, but he's found another job now. A better one. Our plans have changed and we're keeping our fingers crossed that we get good news in November (can't say about what yet).

    Things have not really worked out the way we wanted them to, but we've learned to pick ourselves up each time we fall and keep moving forward.

    Anyway, we took a trip to Snowdonia, Wales last weekend. Absolutely beautiful place.  My parents will definitely love it!

      
       
       

     


     


    Right....I've got more pics to upload, but the Xanga photo uploader has sort of crashed. So, I'll upload more pics later.

  • Another week...

     
    What do you do when you yearn for a break but the situation dictates that you keep going on?

    How do you appear strong when on the inside you're slowly wilting?

    Why does my hamster keep trying to dislodge its house from the 2nd level and chuck it down to the 1st level in the cage?? 


    It's been raining daily for the past week or so. And it looks like the ducks down at the river have been washed away by all that rain. Poor things.

    I haven't blogged for a long time. Been too preoccupied with work. Need a change.

  • Monday...


    Reading that the economy is possibly on the rebound now was the best bit of news I had this morning. But it got me thinking again about our lives here and what will happen next.

    The whole retrenchment scare we experienced earlier was truly like having a bucket of cold water dumped on us. Our enthusiasm and excitement over our new life here fizzled out a little and we were left feeling very much unsettled. I did not manage the possibility of having to return to Malaysia / Singapore to start over again very well, I must say.

    That possibility downright sucked.

    The sad part is, we're still on edge right now as the whole job situation here is still quite uncertain. We will probably have to live with this feeling for a long time to come.

    Such is the life of an immigrant, I guess.

  • Of farms and sheep...


    April 10 (Good Friday) - We went to Welshpool with our cycles. My first visit to Wales, and to to think it was only a 20-minute train ride from where we're staying.

    I imagined Welshpool to be  really green with loads of farms and sheep and cows. And....I was not disappointed.

    Very green, very sheep-py, very fresh and beautiful.   It is places like this that inspired us to come to this country in the first place. Aahhh...bliss.


     

    We rode on the steam engine from Welshpool to Llanfair.

    We came across a bunch of ducklings. Cutest things ever!


     

     

    Hello!



     
    It's SPRING!


    The two things that put me off:

    1)  The spring insects that kept trying to fly into my mouth and choke me; and
    2)  The damn, cheap, hard bicycle seat that hurt my ass. Damn seat.
