Life Guru: Christmas with Tim

I was supposed to spend the month of December in India whilst the boys are in France. I had planned some yoga & meditation time : Shivananda Ashram in Kerala, Ama Ashram, Osho in Pune...... After the bombings in Mumbai, my mother kept telling me not to go to India ; and though I adore my mother, I wouldn't normally pay much attention to such doom and drama. But for some reason, my inner voice told me I shouldn't go. So, I was debating if I should follow mum & dad on their Dubai holiday (but wasn't sure if they really wanted me along!); go with Chin and the girls to Hawaii and do the womens marathon (would have been great but I could not get tickets); or just stay here and learn to do nothing and be by myself!

Anyway, in the midst of searching for tickets to Hawaii, I, with no apparent reason, prior planning or warning, asked for a ticket to LA. 1 week before xmas, I managed to get a flight to LA on redemption miles on SQ. Either the recession is really bad or God thought that it was time that I made that trip to America to visit Tim!

Tim and I have quite the history. He's my very 1st boyfriend and we have a love story that spanned 2 decades and 4 countries : America 86-87, England in 2000, (where we both lived but didn't manage to get back together) and eventually in Singapore & KL 2006-2007! Tim returned to the US 1year ago and there was talk about the boys and I following, but nothing was cast in stone. 2008 was quite a special year for me though: My new spritual awakening, quitting my job ...... and the boys just seemed so happy and settled in Singapore that moving to America really didn't seem like the thing to do.
