Mixed Moods Monday

Todays the new moon - give or take between the 20th & the 21st of november - a new cycle in the moon phases and in our lives too. Personally for me the new moon symbolizes a new beginning, fresh starts - always postivity. The waning moon usually brings out the negativity in our lives - cleaning the cycle preparing us for the new - and along with the new moon comes the mood swings - like how the moon controls the tides it does too human emotions - could vary from person to person but its been that way for me - so i have my good moments and not so good moments but all in all im still me .. ....

Today however was a day of mixed emotions - the good the bad the good the bad and the good again. Third day of the school holidays - im sitting here getting the chills cos i got in the rain and i feel a flu coming on ...

I spent the day with the ladies - my mom my aunts & my cousin. We were over at my aunts for a late Eid visit and she made 'rojak su-oon' its actually mixed vermicelli salad - its basically eaten with dried shrimp which have been blended to fine powder,bean sprouts with a chilie gravy and some fish crackers ... We hung out there in the afternoon before going shopping. It was a nice afternoon - talking about all kinda stuff - you know women stuff .. My cousins a full time housewife with three kids and she is doing one heck of a job - we were exchanging our daily routines and you know what i envy her - i wonder how it would feel to be in her shoes - and something just tells me that i would actually enjoy it .. I have so much respect for housewives who care for the home the husband and the kids .. i wonder if she would envy my job - .. I think the best part of her job so to speak is that its her own kids mine well its borrowed kids i return them on weekends and holidays .. anyways .. We stayed there for a couple of hours befor heading out for out little shopping trip ..

It was rizling by the time we left and dark clouds were rolling in - it was really dark clouds almost like smoke - funny thing i loved it .. im a rain dark sky thuderstorm kinda girl .. then again i like the sun too - it all depends on my mood ............

We took bus service 293 to Tampines Interchange - ... and had the most plesant experience with the bus driver. He was polite, helpful, considerate and a very jovial fella .. The story goes like this .. when we flagged down the bus my mom was still keeping her things in her handbag, so the bus didnt open the front door and it was about to leave so my aunt ran to the bus and ask the bus driver to wait which he did so with a smile .. my mom got to the door and it was quiet far from the curb which would make it difficult for her to get on - so he said to her one sec i will move the bus closer (just how sweet is that)When she was getting on the bus he was so patient - he said 'take your time auntie', careful .. i was so taken at by his kindness - it gives you hope in people - knowing that inspite of the mean people around there are actually the nicer few ..anyways .. when we got on the bus i was pretty sure there some unhappy passengers cos they gave us the evil bus lol probably for holding up the bus .. ;)) .. He is just some of the better bus drivers who gives you service with a smile and with so much patience - i have had my share of angry or impatient or non smiling bus drivers - the funny was just earlier on at my aunts we were talking about her own bad experience .. I thank the bus driver whole heartedly - Smiles and kindness makes anyones day ...

My aunt left us and me & mom did a little shopping before heading home. All in all we had a good time - away from work and work .. :) And thats when we got the call ...

Some relatives in Jakarta in Indonesia was involved in car accident earlier this afternoon .:( .. Their car over turned and flipped a few times. In the car was the driver, and my cousins family - himself, his wife and young child.. His wife had a few stitches as did the little one and are not in any danger. He on the other hand needed surgery to the head because of the impact to his head and blood was so they doctor had to drill his skull in order to remove the blood - he has since regained consciousness but is still in the intensive care unit .. The news obviously came as shock and sadden us all especially since their daughter is due to get married in six months .. Anyways they called to inform us and asked us to pray for him and his family and i asked the same of you guys - prayers in mass does wonders - so please please say a prayer for them - pray for his recovery, give them patience as they cope with the post effects of the accident and give them strength to go through each day ....

Mixed monday emotions for sure among other things ..

Anyways i am ending this blog with this question why is that some people could love other things or maybe fall for other things and not for that one particular thing - any thoughts, comments? Anyone?
