Family

most of us have common family bonds - we are either closer to mum or dad; we are close to our siblings, we have some form of contact with our relatives usually through our parents.

more commonly is the fact that when we are at a gathering where there are relatives, we make it a point to mingle with them and at least have some small talk.  i was at a recent gathering where the hosts did not once make an effort to interact with the relatives..... strange isn't it?

me and me and a dog named boo

i was reminded today that i have a blog which i have sorely neglected; so mr blog, i'm back again.

my new workmates are full of youthful cheer, a refreshing flow of innocence, and limitless energy abounding.  oh, to be young again.... but then again, age has its privileges; and its wisdom.  i look at them and i think to myself "been there, done that"..

we have been back in KL one and a half months now... europe is but a memory, again, until the next





visit.  Paris still resonates in my mind.  when i first stepped onto parisian soil, i was slightly disappointed...."so what's so romantic and special about this place" i asked myself while looking around at the dirty streets of dog poo... until we walked from The Louvre along the Champs Elysee, visited the Notre Dame at night, and walking along the streets of Paris at night with the yellow streetlamps throwing out warm love and spreading the feelings of romance into the air...

and the croissants were divine, regardless of how small the cafe was, the croissant never failed  to titillate.. by the time we left Paris, we all looked like croissants!

 twas a cold and wet Netherlands this spring, but family kept the spirits up.  a great reunion of the ladies in the family, great bonding, and loads of wholesome fun.

shoobaba will be back in December and will stay a few months to satiate her thirst for home life.... and her mum will get a feel of the whole family again in KL... if only for a while.

now i shall start planning for my next holiday in Europe... Sweden ..Switzerland?
