The wanderer returns from camp. No pictures yet. Decided to get some hi-fi photos by relying on photos taken from the former students I went to camp with. So, photos to come.
So. I love horse riding. It just harks you back to a time before, and the sights and sounds of the world were just fantastic when I was on horseback. I will do it again and again. :) Will be on the lookout for affordable lessons.

In other news, to add onto the revelation that fear is the mind killer. Here's another take on the subject (thanks Hens for the book).
"It's not that we fear the unknown. You cannot fear something that you do not know. Nobody is afraid of the unknown. What you really fear is loss of the known. That's what you fear."
from Awareness by Anthony de Mello.
An especially good read if you're keen on spiritual awakening but do not want to veer too far off awakening of the Christian/Catholic faith.

Nasi Lemak in the house
Thought of the day -
Fear is the mind killer.
(Will have to credit Dune the book and movie for that)
And here's the rest of it (extracted from a chapter of the book)
The Bene Gesserit Littainy against Fear.
Pg 19 of Dune
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Am working on a song based on this premise. Will endeavour to find the time to complete it whilst in the midst of two 2,250 word mini assignments. One's on a specification report for building a web site, and the other's a 'highly engaging' report on a local school community.

Housemate was sweet, she made an uber tasty nasi lemak meal. Gourmet stuff, good enough for restaurants. So, here're some (lo-fi as usual) pictures.
And here's a pic of a steak lunch I prepared for myself. The steak itself cost only $2, and the vegetables were grilled with olive oil. Grilled vegetables are sweet! The bread was an improvised slice of garlic bread. Just chucked some minced garlic on top a slice of regular toast, and there - my own steak lunch set meal. Setback? About $3 tops.
