Voices from within

We managed to meet up for breakfast this morning and had a short chat. The last time we met was more than 2 months ago. She is none other than Hiew Ming, my ex-colleague, ex-supervisor, good friend cum big sister!
Well, maybe it’s not really a short chat because when I reached home after the breakfast, Mom asked: You ladies just sat at the Mamak for 2 hours?

Yeah. And I really enjoyed the conversation. It was great to listen to many of the news update from her and me, sharing my stories since I departed to Singapore 2 months back. I was very delighted to receive this gift from her..

The synopsis: This is the magical story of Santiago, a shepherd boy who dreams of travelling the world to seek the most wonderful treasures known to a man. From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and, from there, into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him…

Reading ain’t my hobby since forever and she knows it :-) Actually.. there is always an exception, as long as the title catches my interest. It is a travelogue book of some sort. And the destination in the story is.. EGYPT!! The place that I have always been dreaming to visit someday. Why Egypt, some of you may ask. I love visiting relaxing and quiet places, like seaside and resorts but I am a big fan of architecture. I enjoy visiting places with mysterious stories to tell. If I was to choose between resorts and deserts, I would pick the latter :-) Besides Egypt, I wish I would have the opportunity to visit South Africa someday. Other than the big big attraction which is their safari, I have the urge to visit the less fortunate Africans and lend a helping hand. Well, ummm, maybe for a week or so? :D

End of story!
Lastly,.. this is to fulfill my promise to Miss Tan. Haha.
