LEAVEing a joyful note

A long anticipated 2 week holiday has finally arrived after a 3 year wait(I aint joking, it had been 3 years since I had a decent holiday). You know, when someone had been used to living the hectic schedules, with his life packed end to end... ups and down following one another a break is equilavent to an emergency brake for me.

Anyway, my break started as a filial son doubling up as a Personal Assistant for my parents to Penang. Challenging task it was for one to be the photographer, babysitter, caretaker and logistic dept all at 1 single time for everyone for the 3 day 2 night. What made it easy was like we had 24 hours / 2 trips on the bus, which also turned out to be the wort travelling I have done in my life. Every pit stop was a well earned break. Could see all the aunties rushin for the loo and lining up. These are the times when having the male anatomy is a great asset, E-spring squeeze trigger and done!

Fresh air, great food, row after rows of oil palms shouldering behind were the mountainous ranges with fluffy cotton candied clouds hiding the peaks... Most impt, I found a sense of belonging of kinship. What I lack frm the Chee side, I get it frm the Lee side and I am proud of it!!! Although with aunties and uncles, I like mingling with them! Those no hold bars conversation, everyone so at ease... thats what a family ought to be!

2 weeks of undisturbed rest. Carefree and easy, for the first time, anyone who rings me or messages me will get my undivided attention and almost immediate Y.E.S for outings! (including breakfast frm MUM) No plannings, no hassle... so surreal so unreal, really didnt felt like myself.

Settler's cafe became like second home.... twice in 4 days? Really enjoyed every moment in there! The screams and laughters... indulging in childish bickering and senseless bitching, for a while a 25 year old was behaving like 5 instead. Totally loved it! My Xiao Di/ Ying Kai, Buddy/ Kaiwei, Tiger beer uncle/ Calvin, Queen/ Eng Teck and Bed 8/ Chris you guys made my WEEK.

Basking in euphoria... words simpily cannot describe what I saw and felt. Let me pen down my final statement by having a new year resolution (which most of the time never come true for majority)

Patience is one of the key virutes to success... I dont crave for success but for recognition, I dont yearn for statues yet for glances. 1 word, Patience
