My Mother always say "We can't say it, once we say it, sure kenna (something negative)"

Yes. Again she has been proven right! A few days after I have posted the article about me being happier here and today, I am hit with a bout of mild depression. Yes, I am motivated at work again but its been 10 months, I will get bored soon. And there are signs already. And and and, so what if I am motivated? Its only work and its not my priority.

I need a change. I need something different.

Ahhhhhh....

Should have listened to my Mum, one of two gurus I know. The other being my good pal, Celest.

We will we will ROCK YOU!

Retreat. Reflect - On Top of the World

Between heaven and earth where clouds play with mountains and rivers dance to a rhythm of their own. Lies the historic homeland of Tibetan nomads once experienced only through the classic James Hilton novel, Lost Horizon. This mountainous area in China's Yunnan province has been designated the official Shangri-La and is one of the most secluded higheways in the world.

In this remote ranging wilderness stands Banyan Tree. Hovering over 3,200 metres, the weathered Tibetan homes witnessed the cycles of the seasons. The authentic decades-old farmhouses have been meticulously chosen and relocated log by log, to reside in the new world of Banyan Tree Ringha.

Mountain peaks touched by the clouds, endless valleys, mystical plateaus and the most tranquil of lakes, each season has its unique charm.

Carved by Nature, blessed by Heavens, this ancient holy site offers a journey of pure discovery. Here, you will catch a rare glimpse of a distant world, a way of life unchanged for thousands of years.

I am Ready to Fall in LOVE again...

If only there's a button I can press and viola, I would be in love once again. Why? Because I am SO ready to fall in love, thats why.

And being in Beijing now is just the right place and time to fall in love. There are so many places to explore, so many restaurants and cafes to pig out, so many different seasons to experience together, so many art galleries to get lost in and so many weekends to hang out.

And one empty place to go back to, anytime, all the time.

It would be pity if I don't fall in love whilst I am in Beijing.

Sniff sniff.....where is LOVE?
