Who Said Simple Ain't Happy ?





I'm back from selat panjang , indonesia and i decided to blog about my 4D3N there (:

I felt it was an emotional trip there . I wasn't feeling the best of moods to begin with , had to skip 2 precious trainings to go visit relatives and i was just down , simply ; I didn't look forward to it like how my sister and cousin did , i was alone in this ;

First day : Reached , met my two awesome cousins who are superb jokers and riders down there and they brought us to granny's home (: waved some hellos before settling down at my youngest aunt's house ; dinner was surprisingly okay , then hopped on my cousin's bike for a spin around their village ; he brought me to the loneliest of places there was there , and i saw a precious , rare sight ; i was looking around as he rode , and i saw a million stars on the sky , stars that singapore could never compete against ; i realised a lot , simply too much ; i saw a vision of myself , leading a team to do a revival there , it was just a prefect moment . they have a small church down there m and loads of temples and mosques . but i see churches taking over , because they will (: Down there , every corner you see , you'll at least see someone with a cigarette , be it old or young . suddenly , i just wondered how great it would be to have a revival in my mum's hometown :D that , brightened my mood and how i looked at this trip . i was pleased as i looked out for more , as usual ;

Second day : Woke up late , unusually ; slacked around at granny's house , just looking at how ' village kids ' have their piece of fun ; they were barely 10 , and they were all smiles with what they have . went to the market to see how they do their thing . well i had to brush my teeth in front of a polluted area , filled with litter and mud all over , i had to shower in the open in the middle of the night . i grumbled , but stopped when i remembered my fellow cousins' , who had been doing this for life ; yes they ain't high tech , but they are sure happier than we , or at least me . i was really buoyed by it , speechless ; dinner at relatives house , then another spin around the village and i was really interested in riding already ;

Third day : it was my last night , and i was having the noodles i had for the past breakfasts . it was nice , and the soya bean , was better than singapore's nutrisoy ;P hahah i was smiling again , i was glad . dyed my hair , and i have mixed feels about it :x cousin brought me for fried noodles singapore couldn't find , and it was nice (: he taught me how to ride a motorbike before we played PS2 with him at some lan shop then heading home (: had a nice dinner at another relative's place , where they had spring rolls i dreamt while sleeping . had a problem as there wasn't enough bikes to ride on , but my cousin's neighbor , who was also joining us , lent a helping hand for petrol fees as my cousin didn't have enough . the kindness they have is really nice to see , (: went to the beach but didn't have camera , so we went back :/ raced with my cousin's neighbor , losing out by a bit , but it was fun :P a really good time at the port , where my new friend dropped his slipper into the sea . hahah they don't pose/smile for photos , but they are super funny . they speak another language , but they try to accommodate to what you know . they are the real friends i want , but they are my cousins . heheh (:

Last Day : woke up @ 7 , left in a hurry . shopped at batam center and got a polo shirt , :D and here i am , (: heheh

it was really nice to have went back , and my dream of a revival there is well in place :D i can say that nothing beats simplicity , as it brought me back to my comfort zone . but i miss the guys and gals back here in singapore . i've learnt that i cannot hang on to something dead , and i will let go . i will run away from everything i cannot/shouldn't face , this boon kiat here , is new ;D

P.s the photos will be on facebook , and here , if possible (:

- Our minds are as different as our faces : we are all traveling to one destination ; happiness ; but few are going by the same road .
