A Stubble Jumper's Malaysian Adventure

from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.

Wizards, Sorcerers and Fortunetellers

An encounter at a school found me among a gathering of sorcerers and soothsayers all wanting to read my fortune through their new medium they created in the classroom. With new skills learned in moving their thumbs and index fingers in unison, these little magicians with focused concentration advised me of the future through their newly acquired talents.

quiet please, I must concentrate

Pick a colour

Pick a number

pick me

or me

Finally! a group of girls. The boys outnumber the girls in all the schools here.

nice way to start the day

I had a nice skype visit with Ry - although with my internet we typed and didn't talk and we didn't see each other. But I know what he looks like and know what his voice is like, so reading his thoughts was as good as it gets.
And this morning I was wakened by the voice of Jennifer and Levi. What a lovely way to wake up. I had been awake but fell back to sleep with the drug induced coma one has from antihistimines. Good thing they called, I might have missed the day.
Thank you both for making my day!

French Lavender and Elephant sarong

I somehow managed to find a small essential oil burner last week and tea lights. I also bought the local version of lavender which is pleasant smelling but clearly not lavender. Just now I donned my elephant sarong from Thailand and have some sweet lavender (Jennifer sent the 'real thing' from Canada) burning in the living room. How much closer can I get to the two people who gave me these gifts? Not much.Now I really want both of them to come here to be with me. I hope that can happen before I leave.

Monty no more

On another note. I evicted Monty on the weekend. After purchasing a desk to store my work papers etc, I began the task of moving the substantial pile of paper from on and around my wee computer desk. In that nest, Monty fluttered out, and I with my broom took chase around the living room. This time determined to win. He was very slow moving - probably because he has not had a banquet in my home. Or maybe obesity was not working for him. In any case, I shooed him from under a chair, under a shoe, and finally with my broom sent him flying out the patio door. He was not adding to the abiance of the place anyway. And Gordie and his buddies did a victory dance on my patio ceiling all weekend after the eviction, so he really was not welcome by anyone here.
