Ok. So I came back after a two week holiday. Everyone asked me, how was it, did I enjoy it, bla bla bla. Well, yes and no. Perhaps because this holiday is more like an obligation holiday. I just had to take the leave to see all those people I had not seen in the last 3 years. And the people in the first priority - my family and relatives. I know some of my friends had been wanting to meet up but I really needed some space after all the packed time meeting and making sure my kids enjoyed the trip filled with some itinery while we were there. We did all we can, bringing them to Snake Temple, Penang Hill, Gurney Drive and taking them for drives to Tanjung Bungah and to the other side of the island like Batu Maung area. There were places I shared with them, places I had grown up as a child like my school, some local areas, markets and food galore.

I’m glad I had met the priority VIPs though I did missed meeting up some relatives (they weren’t free/at home or because I simply had no time to meet them all or have dinner with them all. Maybe in another trip. So after this trip, I actually felt exhausted because I had not had my space, to relax without taking off in the car every now and then and getting caught in the traffic again and again and again in the sweltering heat. It rained only once while we were there and it rained everyday in Singapore…

So can you blame me if I tell you that after this holiday, I really need a holiday break? Maybe someone can spare me with some bath & body works coupons if I can’t take any more time off… maybe a day at the spa would be nice.

I am eyeing the Lunar New Year hols - a month away… not sure if I’ll be making a trip back (flights fully booked) and I know the traffic is going to be bad on the North South Highway… a 10 hour drive might become 16 hours… sigh… maybe just fly to a ghost town city for CNY..
