On the weekend I...

Phew~ what a busy couple of days! For me anyways. xP

I attended Stuart Zadel's Ultimate Business Opportunities Summit in Melbourne on the weekend. I couldn't make it to the following Pay It Forward session though. Shame.

All I have is praise for Stuart, his team and the other guest speakers. The seminars really got me thinking! Their explanations were so easy to follow, a simpleton like me, who knew next to nothing on the subject(s) could understand. Who would have thought?! Me actually get the gist of Forex, property management or even asset protection. I'm not professing that I know everything about what they talked about, but I got the gist. Good enough for me, at this stage. Now, if I ever wanted to, I can invest in learning and delve deeper into any of those subjects if I so choose. I'll definitely be back for more. Keep up the good work Stu!

Quite tired right now after all that, but it was worth the 2hr long trip back and forth, both days. I think my continued sleep deprivation is going to catch up with me soon....feeling a little burned..singed at the edges, if you like. :D

Anyways, that's all I'm prepared to say about that so...ta ta for now~~

The ending of the arc

Time has come to reveal the final moments of the 'dream story'...

And so...

The king turns back around, a mad glint in his eyes and starts walking towards the boy.

In panic, the boy looks around, his eyes darting to and fro, looking for an escape. He sees the king's minions lurking in the shadows before him. The king steadily advances, his movements slow and measured and with each step, his features darken as his fury deepened. The boy cowers beneath the king's deathly stare and moves backwards, past the oaken doors which led out into the royal forest. 

The boy tripped and fell, his back slamming into a tree behind him, his hands becoming intertwined with the roots in the ground, but still the king and his entourage kept coming. With a snarl, the king bared his teeth and quickened his pace until he was almost upon the boy.

Unable to move any further, the boy covered his face, screwed his eyes shut and screamed with all his might.

'AAARGH!' He screeched. The cry echoed through the forest, its desperate note so piercing, that even those in the castle and surrounding vales could hear it loud and clear.


All who heard, shivered as their neck prickled and dropped what they were doing, or if they were thinking or talking, stopped midway through their thoughts or conversations and looked around. The less curious souls returned to their tasks and activities, and the braver, more nosy ones went out to investigate.

Word has it from those at the castle that a large grove in the royal forest is gone. Just gone. All that's left was turned earth, and some odd looking grubs and beetles where the trees had been. Of the king, his underlings and the boy, there was no sign. 

Some say that the boy killed them all with his magic and fled into the forest. Others say the king killed the boy and felled the trees, churned the earth, buried everything, the boy and all his useless minions and went on a trip. 

Yet there were also a selected few that believed that the trees and the Mother of Life had something to do with it and each was punished for their wrong doing - the boy included. It is said that the trees absorbed the boy and now his spirit is as one with the forest until his crimes are paid. What will become of the boy afterwards, no one really knows - but that's another story.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Phew...well, I hope you all enjoyed this narrative and hopefully the ending is acceptable and not too cliche for your liking. This ending is quite open to interpretation and for all I know everyone turned into bugs and beetles, but hey. You can be the judge of that.

Thanks for your support!

Back from hiatus

eenh is back in action!!

Apologies for the long dry spell. Will try to keep up more of a presence in future.

I'll just provide a brief update to what I've been doing since my last post:
I am now an Avon lady and a Herbalife distributor. I attended the 2012 Emerging Writers' Festival and after that, the Continuum 8: Craftonomicon. In my search for a work I also attended a 3 week training program with SETsolutions and got a Cert. III in Business Administration, then trained for another 4 weeks with Aegis to get 4 more Certificates and now I've just finished call centre work experience with them. Phew!

Well, that's where I am right now - much poorer and out of pocket too. :P

At some point, I'll put up posts about the various things I'd been fortunate enough to attend and other interesting pieces of jewellery and writing I've come up with so far.

I've also had some requests regarding a continuation of the 'dream story' I've posted here previously. I actually do have a bit of an ending to it, which serves to end the 'arc', in a sense. I will put that up too...when I do. xD

That's all I have for now. Keep me in your sights!!
Thanks for reading~
