Just discovered where we’re heading for our holiday. Firstly, it’s this weekend – we’re going off this weekend.
And we’re headed for Pangkor Island, just off the coast of Perak Province in Malaysia.

I’ve never been there, so hopefully it’s nice. My dad – who made the decision – said that there is plenty of sand there.
I wanted to remind him how much rain we’ve been getting this past few weeks. But I restrained myself. He’s not feeling well after all…
But it seems that my sister could only take next Monday and Tuesday off, since her experiments need her in the laboratory by Wednesday.
So she has to be in the “vicinity:” if you will, just in case she needs to fly back quickly.
At which point I almost laughed, given that she made it sound so dramatic, like as if some mad tyrant is preparing to bomb his neighbor should my sister fail to make it back on time.

I was sort of hoping we go to Amsterdam since I have been dropping hints everywhere.
From the brochures to the magazines cover, to even my cousin calling me to tell me how beautiful it was.
The last one failed spectacularly since my father requested to talk to her, and he discovered that it was Marcia, and since Marcia’s in Canada, it wasn’t so convincing.

But oh well. I do think that a tropical island getaway might just be what I need to clear my body from all the drama-sickness I’ve been having.
My body is not aching, as badly as before – which is a good thing of course. What aren’t that good are the aches I’m having at my kneecaps and joints. I really hope it goes away quickly.
It really has made me realize how important my health is, and also how I’ve to really take good care of myself.
We really only notice how our body is like and how good it felt when we were in the pink of health, when we’re down with aches and pain.
I miss good days of painless movements and ache-less joints.

Other things I miss is the special discount period to renew my subscription for my magazines.
My father is saying that I should renew after I finish my basic training for my MMC. (And it’s funny because I’ve been using the term “MMC” and my father used it earlier as well. Who knows, maybe this will catch up soon…)
Which makes perfect sense of course, given that 13 weeks translate roughly to about 3 months, and I rather read magazines that are current, and not back-issues.
I think I’ll sign up/renew my subscription when I get in.

And for the record, the HBR is so not on my list. It’s really expensive, relative to other business magazines like Business Week, and also, I don’t necessarily think that it’s any better than other business/economics magazines out there, which also tend to be more affordable.
I get the whole supply & demand curves, and also how the pricing is affected by the ease of delivery and locating an agent to bring it in, but it’s still way too expensive.
Maybe I’ll reconsider when I’m working in New York.

And I so haven’t passed Tengy his Xmas gift yet. I know! I’m such a terrible friend.
It’s so overdue, and I am feeling so bad.
This afternoon my cat was walking around and he tipped over the Xmas sack that I got last year.
And in that sack was Tengy’s gift.
This is so much drama. Seriously, I need to pass him the gift before the month ends.
And my sister and I still haven’t got him a shared gift that I promised back last year.
Drama 101.

I plan on sleeping early today. So after I shower, I’ll pop in some Pacofen tablets and then try to get some good rest. Hopefully I’ll be A-OK tomorrow.

Dashboard writing is so much drama.
