Stay Alert Always

Road accidents occur every now and then. Could it be avoided if we are precautious enough to look seriously into matters related to driving and the condition of the cars, whether they are in a tip-top condition or not? I used to see messages on signboards which remind drivers to drive carefully and think of their loved ones. It also goes to the extent of  reminding , "Don't let your family wait in tears." Isn't it a good reminder?

This morning, my colleague's car was knocked at the rear by a Honda CRV which was driven by a teenager who had just got the driving licence. According to my colleague, her car spun several times. Luckily, she had minor injuries. What's saddening is she had planned to go back to her home town for the Chinese New Year celebration but now her car has to be sent to the workshop for repairs.

I'm now in Miri city, a neighbour of Bintulu.  It's only about 2 hours-drive from Bintulu when using the coastal highway. I go to Miri frequently and most of the times just for leisure. There were times when I saw accidents on the Bintulu-Miri highway.  Some were due to recklessness. Courtesy on the road is important. As drivers, it is our responsibilty, too, to ensure our cars are safe on the road.

I'm spending my weekend here and I'm thinking all of you.  Wishing everyone a happy and safe weekend!

A Thrilling Weekend

I feel I am free like a bird. I could fly high looking at the wonders of the world. And be among the clouds! Oh, how wonderful! I am not letting your curious minds wonder wildly at what I am talking about. It has nothing to do with a relationship or career. It is just a wonderful feeling during this weekend. A few things contribute to the happiness. I wish this feeling to go on and on till the end of time.

Throughout the week, I achieved some successes which I shared in this blog. I was able to come up with two Haikus which were written right from my heart. I spent a couple of hours on it, letting my brain secreted the best words I could think of to make it appealing and becomes a sweet memory. Why? It is because I could dedicate it to the wonderful and beloved people in my life.

I am also living in a world of fantasy. Yesterday, I could communicate with my icon Elf. He is like any other persona but to me, he is very much alive and kicking! And today, I am even more surprised when Elf drops me a note which says :

"Oddie cannot say how much you filled my goomp (we imps have no heart but goomps) of love and happiness Mrs. B. If I could reach the state where I could love a human being it would be you I choose, and I am very close to it. You are a magnificent writer! Thank you for being!!" Signed: Elf

OMG! he said that! I replied with a heart beating so fast and so audible to my hearing!

"My adorable Elf, you know how much it means upon hearing what you say? I want to hug you right now! If I could love my cats unconditionally (think of their stinky poo but I don't mind), surely I could love you too! Let there be no barrier between our different worlds. You're just another being (though not human). Another creation of God. Love you, Elf!"

I saw Elf smiling sheepishly and blinking his eyes unnnecessarily. His ears glowed like maize (according to his master). My words are for real, Elf!

Now, now, now, do not jump to conclusion and think that I am a lunatic and madly in love. Should I swear? No, a big girl should not swear. It is more of a motherly love to a child. An adorable child who is always up to mischief yet occupies one part of my heart. And it will always be there.

And in my mailbox, there is another surprise waiting to be revealed. A good news from Down Under (Australia). Immediate feeling of wanting to hop like a kangaroo comes to my mind. Whoooa! this is indeed good news! But dear friends, I will tell you about it when the right moment comes. Please bear with me. Be patient! I know someone in Australia is smiling now like I do. :) Thanks a lot, mate.

Another surprise, I just logged in Bloggers and lo! I am on Editors' Picks Of The Day!
