http://stardustmelody.wordpress.com/2007/10/22/kalimantan-imma-koming/ kalimantan, imma koming! <http://stardustmelody.wordpress.com/2007/10/22/kalimantan-imma-koming/> Now that it's settled I can actually blog about this, I've been bursting to blog about this since I made the call on Friday. But I kept it in, for the fear that I wouldn't get it! Next week, I'm off to Singkawang in Kalimantan for a humanitarian trip of sorts with WorldVision <http://www.worldvision.com.my/index.php> [:D]
I got forwarded the call for interested participants on the deadline itself, by Shuxian and Fei Wenwoots, girls, thanks! [:D] Today I went for an interview with them, and this evening got a call saying that they've picked me to go. The trip is fully sponsoredwhat's the catch, you ask? Well, I'll have to `tell my peers of my experiences'heck, I tell you guys what strange morning habits I've had, as if a free trip would go unblogged-about! I will also probably have to be their media biatch (my words, not theirs) in the sense that I'll have to go for interviews, give speeches, lalala .all stuff I've basically been doing since .well, as far back as I can remember [:)] So it's a perfect partnership! And best of all, it's for a cause I vehemently believe in: the betterment of living conditions for all humans regardless of location, religion, or creed. Especially since it deals with children, but instead of helping them directly, WorldVision actually pools funds together from the children sponsored to building community infrastructure and equipping their parents with life skills so they can provide a better life for their kids. And this is a step further to my dreams of going off to save the world, one child at a time [;)] I am intensely excited. I leave next Monday, the 29th, and return on the 1st of November. Funny, because on the astrology website <http://www.astrologyzone.com/forecasts/monthly/> I read religiously (ahem), at first I raised my eyebrow suspiciously at this: "A truly outstanding short trip seems to be on your agenda on or near the full moon, October 26. This trip is not far - about 500 miles or less - but seems outstanding in some way. It will offer you a chance to enjoy being in completely new surroundings and also allow you to learn something new. Investigate how you can use this magical energy. If you have not taken a vacation so far this year, this would be the ideal time to steal a long weekend away - and don't take your computer!" Mind you, I do take these forecasts with a pinch of salt, but very often I find that this website especially is incredibly spot-on with the predictions. Should you be a skeptic (and I salute you for being one), I invite you to try following yours for a few months and tell me if some of these things said are spot-on or not! Mind you, I know she said 26thbut for all it's worth, I'm also going down to Melaka for another wedding dinner (YAY!) on the 27th. And I usually make allowances for the dates, because I seem to be a supersensitive Piscean, and I experience things (like Mercury in retrogade, which involved all my electronic gadgets going haywire on me at the same time) earlierthis travel prediction was an odd one-off. I suppose this means I better go donate blood this weekend, because generally you shouldn't after traveling overseas o_O But woots! One more assignment to be handed in (WMN3150, whoo!), one wedding dinner and face-stuffing with a 10-course Chinese dinner, then Singkawang, woo hoo! I just looked at the itinerary, I think there's a 6-8am slot for us to go tap rubber or something o_O
