Touched down from Melbourne since Tuesday morning. Changed away 2 flights with Alicia babe last week. Cuz Alicia's bf, Daniel, was flying to Johannesburg & so happened I had a JNB flight. Gave that flight to her so she can enjoy a nice trip with Dan. In return, I had Wed-Fri OFF. COOL!

Well I've not gotten a chance to fly to JNB since I started flying, but I do remember the good times I had there with my aunties when I was 15. I told myself that I will be back for more of the Safaris and sightseeing. I think this time I shall target to tour South Africa with Jon instead! I believe we can have much more fun there.

Anyway, October is a lousy month of financial flow... Leave during Sep and that Biz-class training end Sep have once again made me feel the NO FLY NO $$$ pain... Now I'm worried again. The stupid planning gave me allocated leave next Mar & I already applied and got 1 week in Apr. Mar & Apr??? Damn.. history will repeat itself again. But I told mom I can go for a short trip with her during Mar cuz that falls under school holidays too. *hmmm... should I???*

I finally stepped into Virtuoso Arts yesterday. 1st time meeting Agnes after speaking to her over the phone last week. Well, I didn't start my lesson yet, cuz she got me all mixed up with her other students. & also I bo-idea-ly never clarify with her the details cuz I know she's very busy. Anyway, no hurry for me. She claimed that her brain is "all programmed for keyboard" lesson. Instead we went to Kiliney for a cup of coffee & tea cum getting-to-now-u session. Well she's really bubbly and full of energy & that energy is really influencial. Other than getting to know her very great deal of achievements, I think there's a nice bond for the student & teacher. *hee* & also we met her dentist there at Kiliney.

The best part about this coffee&tea session is I found a company dentist whom I'm confident at. Just nice he's expert in cosmetic and surgery. The last dentist I met and talked much regarding asthetic was bro's friend, Keith. 1 thing in common, when these dudes talked about achieving that perfect smile, u can see the glow in the eye & they really go into details. *AHaA* That's what I'm looking for. Gonna set a date soon for some cleaning up... As for that Hollywood Smile thingy... *DAMN* I seriously dun wanna be in more liabilities (L)... I still got my (L)asik to clear... Even though the dentist said that I can get 50% discount cuz I'm a SIA staff or perhaps arrange with the bank to be charged at interests-free installments, this whole thing is really expensive... Veneer per tooth w/o discount costs $1000-1500 (subject to material used too). Come to think of it, I got 4-6 teeth... you can imagine!!!

Well ah... take it easy Fernie... u gotta learn how to be thrifier... *cheers*
