trip to the suburbs

11 aug - 14 aug
had a trip back to my grandparents place in perak, malaysia. haven't been back there since april last year. it has been more than a year long since i saw gong gong and po po.. the short but yet fulfilling 3 days trip made me realize how simple and happy those family bonding sessions can be..

i still remember when i was young, the majority of my school holidays was spent there.. those times were fun when all my cousins were there at the same time.. but it got really boring when everyone wasn't there.. its a typical kampong with no shopping malls, no cinemas.. so whenever i'm there, i would plan in advance lots of self entertainment to keep myself occupied.. at times it would leave me feeling so bored that i simply wish that i could come home sooner.. the lifestyle over at there basically is to wake ard 9 in the morning.. eat breakfast.. come home slack.. eat lunch at 1.. then slack.. have tea at 4 plus 5.. go cycling.. take turns to shower.. dinner at 7 plus.. slack.. and bedtime at 10 plus 11.. a great difference from my daily lifestyle here in sg.. which is why i always feel bored when i'm there..

but amazingly, this trip back to the suburbs didn't make me feel as bored as before.. in fact the 3 days seemed to have passed very quickly.. rested and relaxed thru out those 3 days.. watched dvd, managed to pay back my sleep debt, enjoyed gorging on food.. and most importantly, i enjoyed spending time with my family.. simple days of just spending time together and it was definitely time well spent..
