Give it a Toss , Baby!

I think I already have my fair share of inaction and feeling that I am powerless to break the shackles of routines.

Now it is time to freshen myself up with a few tight slaps on the face, *ouch* and give my dusty and cob-webbed life a fierce toss! * Shake about * Ha..HaKK...Choooooo!!!

For the past two weeks I felt like a hamster on the turning wheel , which keeps on running, but in fact it hasn't moved from its original spot. Nothing was worthed looking forward to, nothing to inject that zest in life, nothing. I was mourning over the lack of purpose, I felt totally aimless, but then it hit me that I can sulk and continue to be a boring nobody or choose to be a more exciting nobody.

Then i start to look at the posters in school more closely for worthwhile events. Itching to go for an expedition again, and there is this one going to Calcutta in May, which aims to raise awareness in child prostitution and HIV/AIDS,especially in young girls brought up in the red-light district who are very susceptible to fall prey into child prostitution. i was instantly drawn to it, read about the organisation which help s to take care of gals who escaped from trafficking and prostitution on Readers'Digest and there was instant connection. Emailed the gal in-charged of this project to find out more.

Here are a few feel good to-do plans :

1) As mentioned, join another expedition. Don't mind going to India again, Calcutta is a city robust with noises, colours, and lots more.

2) A weekend getaway to Pulau Bintan, approximately an hour ferry ride away from Singapore. Beaches, coconut trees, spas...AHHHH

3) A weekend sleepover/ movie nite with Jacq and floormates. One lovey-dovey movie, one scary movie (if we have the energy to be terrified, hahaha) , call for PIZZA delivery, softdrinks and alot of YAKKING, hahaha.

4) A barbeque nite at West Coast Park with fellow Indian expedition mates.

There there...So much for events to look forward to for the coming weeks. Have written them down here , to remind myself not to revert back into that clueless, lifeless sloth in near future. U guys make sure i stick to them.
