The hard part of having too long holidays is the fact that we have to get back to our job and resume working on pending assignments. i enjoyed the half month year end holiday i had in KK and Ranau. and i'm happy being back to Kuching, but, a bit overwhelmed by the paperwork due.
Our Christmas celebration went well. despite the non-stop rain from Christmas to New Year. we had a barbecue dinner for New Year celebration. no open house, we only invited close relatives. i cooked laksa Sarawak on Boxing day and mistakenly bought parsley instead of coriander, so, the laksa tasted a bit weird. but, its hot food, and on a chilly morning, anything hot is considered hot.
and thanks to a persistent sister who bought a 7 ft tall artificial pine for Christmas decoration. she started the tradition of setting up a Christmas tree for Christmas in our family (she asked my opinion before purchasing one and all my dumb mind said was, whats the point?) i am glad she paid no heed to my chatter, because it is a lovely tree. on my own, i will never be able to convince myself to buy an artificial pine, even for a fine reason.
over the holiday too, i met people who made me realize that old flame can be rekindled by mere acceptance, love lasts when nothing is expected from the other part. for now, my opinion of the worst and most selfish game in love is the need to be loved back, expecting to be given as much as one gave. being able to love is a blessing enough and it should suffice. ya, i knew, this sound pathetic, but, i honestly believe thus. and that makes me even more pathetic.
i am going to post my 2012 wish lists next week. and i need to poll opinions on my next travel:
a) KL-Yangon-Vientiane-Hanoi-Danang-KL
b)Kuching-Pontianak-Banjarmasin-Balikpapan-Samarinda-Tarakan-Tawau
c)KL-Jakarta-Bandung-Yogyakarta-Surabaya-Bali-KL
experience of traveling with no proper itinerary and plan proved to be thrilling and addictive. and most importantly, it makes me high (heart beats faster, light head, anxious). help me to set my direction.
