Long Weekend!

It's 0455am on a Saturday morning. I think I woke up at around 2 in the morning and my eyes opened wide thinking of the dream I just had. I dreamt of the Sultan and Pehin Yasmin and we were all in Indonesia for an official visit. I guessed I was the LO coz I was not in uniform. The ending part was funny as I was running toward the flying ship and I managed to get hold onto it. Then there was something about these 2x bulky expensive pens that I needed to return to the Sultan. Unfortunately I did not manage to see them until I woke up.

Yeah we are having a VERY long weekend off from work from Friday till Tuesday. Yes I am excited and yet I have no planned. Well theres lots of things to do I hope I could manage to get most of the things I listed done by Wednesday. My flute and my new flute book is just lying around for few days to be practised and sorted. Yesterday I spent the whole day doing trial and error for my Ghost make up for the Halloween social next week. I just had my sculpture half way done right after I woke up from my dream.

Finally I bought my oven last Friday with Intan. It cost me around 75 pound. When I first tried it yesterday, I burnt the body of the sculpture. I guessed Intan recommendation to set it on a baking setting is not correct after all. I carefully set it at 110 degrees for 3 minutes then tried again further. Yeah I made it this time, abody with 2x full legs and of course without hands and head yet. Amazingly it was quite tiring and quite daunting sometimes to start all these from scratch. I just need some patient and motivation. As for now, I am just gonna leave it there for a while and would come back when I am ready.

Today is already Sunday morning. Tomorrow will be my Mum's birthday, 26th October. I hope her birthday card would arrive on time tomorrow and I hope she loves her surprised gift. I am not even telling anyone about this, special gift from her speacial son. hehe.

While scrolling on BB article yesterday, I read an article about Lily Chiam music. I got excited and congratulated her on her facebook. Speaking of the devil, found her on FB and we chatted for a while. ''Where can I go' translated in Malay - Mana Ku Pergi', composed and pianist Lily and sung by Zul F. I requested Lily to purchase her Piano score on this song and she said it would only be ready by middle November. 'Where can I go' originally from Lily is one of my favourite music she composed when I first bought it last year when I first met her on her shop in Expression. I used to listen this music when I first arrived in England and used this as my background music for my YOGI breathing technique for my Cornet. And I just purchased 'Mana Ku Pergi' song from Amazon and I am listening to this song over and over again. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love the malay version too, very soothing and relaxing. Lyrically meaningfull. Wow!

Today has to be very productive and I need to go out for fresh air. I must do my laundry today and hopefully everything would be ready by lunch time. At one point I must go tho the Gym and run the trademill for atleast an hours, training for my cross country I just joined last week. Extra activity for me. I wish I could swim today too bad their opening time is limited so not a great idea.

Last Thursday, I attended a Trafalgar Dinner nite in The Wardroom dining hall. I was not suppesed to be there as the seats were already full. I was quite disappointed not being able to attend the dinner. However I got the seat on the last minute when the Hall Porter told me there 1x person pulled it out and I had 1 hour to get my mess kit ready. Initially the Hall Porter stopped me because my parcel from my Sculpture tools had arrived. I was luck then and I guessed this dinner was meant for me. Luckily my mess kit was immaculate and by half 7pm, I was at the bar with other guests. Dinner went very smooth that night except for the guest seated infront of me had to use the 'heads' (toilet) during dinner. Ouch.. he ended up paying a bottle of Port and also embarrasement. lol. After dinner we all went to the bar again and we towards the end we had a naval tradition game where everyone was holding tight to each other in circle and not to touch the object around them. There were around 20's Liuetenants around including me playing the game. I remembered I used to play this game in Dartmouth. When the game started, everyone tried to avoid the object and get hold to each other and slowly the circle got smaller and I was there still. I just couldn't believe when theres only me and 1x Leftenant would be against each other. He was big and tall and he could dragged me before we even started. Bully man! So he tried to land me on the object and I was flying in the air and managed to get away and land somewhere safe and he hit himself on the object and I WON! I couldnt believe I WON! Everyone cheered and all the senior officers and all the staffs watched and cheered for my victory. Wow!

Its quarter to 5am now. I guessed time for shower and Solat Subuh. Thanks to Allah the Almighty for giving me all the rahmat, happiness and rezeki. I believed you made this all happened. Have a great Sunday to all!
