There are certain days you just wake up happy and feeling loved.

Today is one of those days.

That'll Be All.

Friday night : Dinner with the King.


That'll Be All.

Thank you all for asking but I did not have the repeat of the nightmare last night.

I slept peacefully.

Peacefully to the extent that when I woke up and changed positions this morning I felt my blood rush from the left side of my body to the right. Does that happen to any of you?

Today, I start to feel like the Queen of Hearts.
With only seven days to go to my last day, I find myself accepting farewell luncheon requests.

It makes me feel so loved. Thank you Universe and friends for bestowing this love onto me.

It's such a feeling of mixed emotions though.
It's happiness
It's pain
It's love
It's sadness

Just like all the colours of the rainbow.

I'm taking the time to feel every emotion.
I know a Queen shouldn't but I have to; I want to feel the emotions.

That'll Be All.

I hate to say this but I have been having nightmares the last few nights.
I woke up in a cold sweat two nights ago at 5 am and could not go back to sleep till almost half past seven.
I could not remember what the nightmare was about though.

Cut to last night.

I went to bed rather early read midnight.
And the nightmare started again...

This time it was alot more clear.

I found myself in an army camp of sorts.
And I have no idea what I was doing there.
But I saw alot of my friends there and we seemed to be divided into two camps.
I somehow got lost from my camp and was wandering around alone.

Then suddenly a war broke out in the camp and we were infiltrated by the enemy.
And there I was alone in the middle of the war with gunfire and grenades trying to protect myself.

I somehow managed to make my way to a barrack of sorts.

The barracks were these huge rectangular brick structures but with enormous french windows with the sunlight pouring in.

As I entered the barrack I was surprised to see that the curtains were all open but my team were all lying flat on their backs on the floor to protect themselves from being seen through the windows which were barely one foot off the ground.

I was quickly asked to lie flat on the ground but the only space available was at the far end of the room for which I needed to run across the open window area.

I jumped across the bodies and quickly lay down right next to the window and then the inevitable happened.

The enemy stood right outside my window with the barrell of his gun pointing straight at my head.

I froze.

Almost instantly we were in a crossfire. The other camp members were dressed in militarywear and there was firing all around.

And I woke up once more, in a cold sweat.

That'll Be All.

The Queen welcomes MERLIN - the great wizard, prophet and adviser to several kings, including King Arthur to her bench.

So far, he considered himself just a Sorcerer but the Queen deems him fit to be Merlin in her court.

Welcome Merlin to the Queen's Bench.

I wonder how he feels about being in a Queen (read woman's) court...

That'll Be All *poof*

10 more days and I will be a free bird.

As you know a collection of ten years is called a decade.

I have spent the last decade working over two organizations.

Both have been absolutely wonderful to me and my career.

I claimed my Long Service Award and Gratuity from both companies.

But at the culmination of the decade, I decided it is time for some introspection into my own personal life.

It therefore amazed me to read that in Chinese astrology the 10 Heavenly Stems refer to a cyclic number system that is used also for time reckoning.

Wish me luck.

That'll Be All.

There are 11 days left for me to come to work, after which I shall be a free bird.

A funny story about the number 11 from my childhood.

When I was learning my numbers as a child, this is what I said once...

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, one-ty one...

That'll be all
