Sunny days & Starry nights ... Thursday, June 16, 2011
as i havent been 'penning' my thoughts for a time long enough, things arent coming out very smooth. eventually thou i hope i will be able to get back on track.
i have been spending almost 3 days at an island, amidst nature and free from worries. initially, it was really quite hard to assimilate into the holiday mood as i have been spending days at home, wreckin my brains, too intensively, and the resistant to a transition is just hard. it felt like i was too tense, too uptight. upon reaching the island, i couldn't really enjoy the scenery and all, even thou i did register that that is the kind of place i had been looking fwd to be at, i just cldn't match my feelings to it. that was bad.
upon reaching the resort, as our adjacent rooms are still not ready, we had 1 and a half hours to kill. everyone except me was hungry but food was only available at 6. and so those few hours were practically drained away with nothing much accomplished. we did visit the beach thou, and i believe it was the first step for me into reaching a state of peace.
so that night we had a scrumptious meal at kopi O. it was bright outside when we ordered our food and pitch black when our food came. that was the first meal we had together :) talked about life at uni and about my society and so on. a pretty good start. i cannot believe that they will soon be in the same school as i am. uh hmm.
the night was spent playing monopolydeal and other card games.
ah my post is so boringingly sounding i have lost my ability to write as interesting as before. but anws, i shall keep practising. let me drone on.
hmm. yep on wed morn 10am we set out for our snorkelling trip but i was apprehensive thruout the trip. my snorkels werent working and it just got me too uptight to enjoy. sigh. but well ! wed is still the day with lotsa fun :) becos we tried banana boat, and also some frisbee by the beach. i love the beach. esp with good people. we also did some kayaking which was pretty strenuous on the arms.
then we got ourselves cleaned and lunched and set off for spa outside our resort. spa was good, not awesome yet but good enough. then dinnered at a restaurant at pasar oleholeh. totally tourist spot. wonders where the locals dine and live.
the night was still young and we checked out the karaoke room to discover tht it costs quite a bit. so we decided to spend our last night playing saboteur with every one sleepy.
very soon we were into the last day of the trip. i woke up automatically at 630am bintan time and went for a stroll . it rained that night and the air was really cool. soon everyone woke up , went for breakfast, i went for a last swim, then we played archery & lunched at kopi o before boarding the bus n ship bound for sg.
dad came n drove us all back :) that concluded my trip last night.
and now, im still suffering the withdrawal symptoms :( it was a good getaway, but too short, and i have to hit back to work. not that work is no fun, but i just cant get myself together yet. theres a number of psych stuff i need to decide n attend to, n i need to get my life back in running.
on a side note, i guess age really brings people to reality and erase the fun. i havent dared to anticipate this trip for fear that things will not turn out as expected. and becos i was preparing myself for the worse, i lost the fun altogether in terms of excitement pre trip . next time i shall just throw caution to the wind and let loose.
perhaps this is the most impt part of this entry. that im left jumpy after the trip . for this part i need to tread with care. leave things to be.
also over the days i shall be reflecting on my life thus far and my priorities. i cannot continue living like this, this lazily.
& Lazy afternoons ...
