Another Busy Day

Took time out for a breather as another hectic day threatens to overwhelm me. But thank God indeed, so far, apart from a press conference and the associated interviews, the day is turning out quite alright.

The weekend to Bintan was good. Nice weather and managed to have a dip in both the pool and the sea. At least the sea is cleaner than East Coast! Am really very pleased that the folks had fun with the stuff that we planned for them. It's really gratifying for me to see people enjoying themselves and making friends. Picasso was a hoot and the self-portraits were really funny.

Read Ellen's blog and was rather moved by what she wrote. She was writing about her struggles at work and how it threatens to drown her in a pool of frustrations. It was her surprise birthday celebration last week, but she can't attend it due to work In the end, So Ra and gang sang her a birthday song over the phone at the top of their voices, and sent her an MMS of her cake with glowing candles. I guess God has a way of cheering our dear Ellen up via the folks that care about her. :)

They are really a bunch of sweethearts, though of course Ellen's actual precense at the party will make it even more lively!
