"THE" morning....

Tomorrow, 2nd February 2010, I leave to Sydney first to (hopefully) collect my New Caledonian visa, then off to the Gold Coast to visit my godparents, and then off to KL on the 11th Febuary 2010.

Waking up this morning is another one of those dreaded mornings I have had a few times too many over the last 5 years. It is the morning that you realize you're not going to be able to wake up to the wonderful "routine" you've had for the next couple of months.
It is THE morning where you wanna knock your head for booking your flight ticket too early.
It is THE morning where you wake up and REALLY don't feel like leaving.
It is THE morning where you wanna scream at your bun for not turning the world upside down just to come with you!
It is THE morning where you cherish every moment, every second with your loved one(s) (eventhough you're only leaving for 2 months?).
It is THE morning where you realize just how much you're going to miss that special someone very very much.

BUT, I am going back to see my family and I'm ecstatic! But you know when you have found your other half, you don't feel complete if he's not there even if you have your most favourite people around you?

I'm just being a drama queen, I wish I can have everything and I know I'll be devastated to leave my family when I return to NC in a few months and THE morning where you wake up............starts all over again.

*yawwwwwwwwwn*

Mmmph, yet another lazy day. When is this going to end? I really hope that I can find a job real soon when I return to New Caledonia in a few months.

Life is great but everything seems so hazy and disorganized. I really need to get organized but somehow I feel so helpless annd lost. I trust God that he has plans for me and therefore I'm not too worried, but hello....I still need to be worried don't I?

Can't wait to return to KL next week but ain't too happy without returning with my bunny in tow.
Ah well, you can't have everything in life.

Just hope that 2010 is the year I will get my life back on track!!!!
But hey, ya still gotta embrace every moment like the adventure of your life.
No regrets...no regrets....

Facial at Spa Ramada

Ahhhh, and so I finally went for my 1.5 hours phytodermie facial at the Spa Ramada, Ramada Hotel Anse Vata which was a Christmas gift from Ronan's mum. Absolutely incredible and my skin feels more hydrated than a baby's bottom indulged in moisturizing baby oil. It is supple and smoother than silk.

The one thing that I loved was a special machine used to extradicate the toxins from your face. I can't remember the name of it but it feels like a little fish sucking your face with soft jelly like lips.

I'm very much not a facial and spa person because I'm stingy as hell and can't bear to spend money just for 1-2 hours of perfect relaxation and pampering and the absolute-feel-good-about-yourself feeling. But I will love you for your life if you give it to me as a gift!! =D

However, I think this Spa Ramada might very well just be the exception to my stinginess as I feel on top of the world right now.

Mother Nature's warning?

We experienced some weird weather 2 days ago. Wasn't a sand storm like the recent one in Australia but more like a mist storm. Ronan was all "ooo" and "aaahhhh" "amazing" but his reactions reminded me of the reactions of the people just before the tsunami hit thailand. It made me think if it is necessary to take things lightly or seriously at moments like this when mother nature might be trying to tell us something and death could just be moments away...........................call me a dramatist if you like.

It was almost like an apocalypse scene because the sea was calm and silent and mostly you can hardly see the sea like its usual self. See for yourself below....

Usual view from my balcony...

The view 2 days ago

The quote above seriously scared the living daylight out of me. I have been much of a reader my whole life but could Albert be right?

Touchdown in Noumea 23rd Dec 2009

So, the day has finally arrived....The decision to move to New Caledonia has been made after hours, days, and moments of trials and tribulations, laughter and sorrow, screams and purrs....ahhhhh, the beauty of relationships eh? (Bun, please don't throw me out of the house for this).

Ok, so picture this. Malaysian girl decked out head to toe in Armani jeans, Armani tank top, Armani fabuloussssss white vest, Armani belt, Armani sunglasses, black gladiator rock star heels, ready to start Day 1 in Noumea with a bang. Trotted up to the immigration and got questioned like a dunggu and totally fell to pieces. Lady looked liked she was ready to throw me back on the plane as I wrote different dates on my embarkation card than my return date because of my Long Stay Visa Visa Information for Australians going to New Caledonia (but that's a whole different drama altogether). Anyhow, I was a furious dragon as my overexcited fiance who is from New Caledonia got off the plane from business class and went straight off without waiting for me. According to him, no place to wait for me. Beautiful.
Anyway, nothing much happened after just that at customs, they took one look at my Malaysian passport, raised an eyebrow at me with a smirk and asked whether I have any "food" with me.
Officer: Non food?
Me: Nope!
Officer: Non noodles?
Me: No!
Officer: Youuuu sure?
Me: *stare*
Officer: Ok, d'accord go go!

Right...........doesn't mean I'm Malaysian that I will try to bring in frozen hokkien mee right?????
Then...
Went straight to my new home, saw the view, went to heaven and back again...
