Apparently if you would read such a beginning in my travel blog...you should have already guessed, " this guy must have stayed at home and have so much time thinking of such lame joke and not been for travelling this time". Bingo...you are right. While almost everyone is taking the opportunity of the fine and sunny weather this year spring break offers to travel...apparently this travel nerd just stayed at home with an initial high spirit of get back to the study desk and get ready for school reopen which however instead spent most of his time on Facebook and watching Mr Bean comedies on Youtube. A little pathetic no?
Well, at least I did spend a good 30 minutes to write this blog. So some compliment will you? *claps claps*
Now this is more like it...thank you. =)
Ok...I am not going to crack your curiosity on why I opt not to go anywhere this time. Well, everything happens for a reason they say. It's also true in my case. Staying alone at home just doing nothing does up my level of becoming the King of Laziness. Despite that, I've had the chance to see more of my surrounding...although the time spent on it was just a small portion. It does give some enjoyment to share as people throw some admiration as I put these up on my facebook photo album :-

So...with a camera in hand...I managed to capture few of these while I was wondering around while showing some guests these sights. As a consolation for myself I can say....my home is just as beautiful too! Sometimes...we just don't realise what we have surrounding us as we are always busy on the look out and wondering for better things out there.
This period have also been a good serendipity for myself. One fine evening while I finally dragged myself out for a jog along the park surrounding the city...I find many colours of life too. Yes, I do felt the love in the air as couple by couple just cuddling up by the bench in the park...some just laid on the fresh green grass....gaze upon the great blue sky up there....with patches of cotton white clouds here and there lined with the golden ray from the evening sun....ah....and this point you must be triggered to say..."You are a lucky man...be in Europe to see all this"....while I would say, " You are even more lucky than I do...you don't have to be in Europe just to see this....you can actually see these just from a distance of your own home sweet home" (okay, face the fact...so minus the couple cuddling part)...yet...the sun and the sky? Why not step outside and see what you find today?
Wait wait...chill..not now...I mean after finish reading this. The point is...life is more vibrant that it seems to be. It's just we get to cramped with all the troubles of reality and hard facts of life that we have to face and we forgot to give ourselves a break.
Indeed...to go for holidays for me is not too much a break actually...mind you, the planning and logistics...it's not an easy piece of job if you wish to make a dream holiday yourself. In short...I am taking a break from my breaks. Ironic but true. Yet...certainly is worth all the work when you get to see what you want...I still look forward to more holidays coming soon. Hope everything goes well and SUMMER is here!
Till then....cheerios!
