Helen Tan: Biting my nails ... can't find my novel - Beyond Silk Strands in my disabled portfolio. I hope Tom can help so I can restore it,

I wanted to add the last installment to Chapter 11 ... oh dear, oh dear. :(((
    adewpearl: I sure that is all resolved soon, Helen. Let us know! -
    Helen Tan: All's cleared - PHEW! A big thank to Tom. =D -
    poetstar: I am so glad your novel was recovered. Vonnie -


Helen Tan: Short story got accepted for the anthology in Hong Kong =D

Now to do outline for Nano 2011.

    --Turtle.: Congrats, :) -
    Cumbrianlass: Well done. :o) -
    nora arjuna: wow, congrats helen! -
    Aislinge: Congrats, Helen! What a great accomplishment! May many more follow :-) -
    Helen Tan: Thanks! I think I had to revise the closing line 5 maybe 6 times before it was finally accepted! =D -
    poetstar: Just came to your site to say hello.

    Chuck23: Good luck! -


Helen Tan: OK, let's see how many people actually read the profile of this writer. =D

I've been travelling through parts of Bali since 14th June - Seminyak and Lovina. Now, I'm sitting on the patio of Sri Sunari, a bed and breakfast in Ubud. It's located in the midst of a padi field so as I type, the crickets chirp in a long whistle, cows bellow (though it's 9pm, maybe it has a stomach ache), frogs croak, roosters crow (probably lost track of time) and one of them seems to be hiccuping. Lizards crawl on woven rattan ceilings and add their scratching noise to the whir of the fan. This is life - relaxing to the symphony of nature.

I hope to go white water rafting in two days' time, weather permitting.

Hope all of you are well. =D =D =D
    --Turtle.: I'm cleaning the kitchen... Yours sounds more fun :) -
    Helen Tan: Hi TurtleStage5, how do you know when someone posts something on their profile? I'm curious.

    Oh yes, I'm also being bitten by a couple of mosquitoes ... that should make your kitchen cleaning more appealing. =D -
    --Turtle.: Under the Profile tab, there's an option for forums, In the forums, there is an option called Profile Thoughts where people's profile comments get posted for everyone to see for a little bit of time...

    Helen Tan: Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of this. It was pleasant to make your acquaintance this way. =D -
    lpstribling: Beautiful image. Glad you're enjoying it. -
    moyramouse: Thinking of you enjoying Ubud. Hope the white water rafting was fun! Enjoy the beauty - loved your story about the Australian Lady- that's how life should be. Living your dreams ad paying it forward. xxmouse -

    My FS subscription has been renewed so when life settles, I'm praying it will be soon, ??I'll be back.?

    Until then, keep up all the happy writing and I'll catch up when I can.

    Stay well. Hugs to all from Singapore. -

5-7-5 An Introspection In Seventeen Syllables Moments I Have Lived
I have found it rather amazing that an existence of time can be expressed in such few words and yet provide a specific and definitive explanation.

Great reviews:
Raw with emotion - love and pain, regrets and hope, truth and tragedy. It touched me at points, made me choke up.
