Today, my horoscope said: "Have you been planning to travel, Naliza? You might receive word that your trip has to be postponed, which could be a real disappointment. However, bear in mind that this is only a delay, not a denial. All signs are that you will make that trip, so don't panic. Think of it as more time in which to prepare - for you'll want to be thoroughly ready before you go. Enjoy your day."
The recent bombing in Yala and the military holocaust in Southern Thailand have grave causes for concern for me for the last couple of days. Jack, Jida and I have signed up and paid deposit for the Satria GTI Road Tour which will see about 30 cars travelling in a convoy from Kuala Lumpur to Haadyai and Koh Samui and back to Haadyai and Kuala Lumpur. According to the organisers, we will be escorted by police entourage at every state that we pass through, both in Malaysia and in Thailand. It'll be an experience one can't miss - it may even be historical.
The road tour was planned for December 16-21, so I hope things will be safe there by end of November. Especially when an editor was telling me on Friday night, during our media "buka puasa" get together, "The Thai police is not one you can count on to give you good treatment - you expect them to escort you?"
I'm thinking...should I pull out now or wait and see?

Jack, Jida and I decided to pull out. While this road tour promises an unforgettable adventure, we are not going to risk our lives should there be unrest in Thailand along the way. But we are planning to take a trip together soon, and get all the Yaya Buddies to join us.
can you believe it!!
my horoscope said the exact same thing to me on the same date!! and i was trying to co-relate it with my thoughts of a trip too. Amazing.
You know, horoscopes never fail to amaze me. Maybe coincidentals, but too many coincidentals make you wonder if there are truths in them.
