It has been a long time now since my Company have a six days break. Normally, if the New Year falls on Tuesday and Wednesday, then we will have this luxury as the Company will give an additional day before and after the actual festive days. It was a very welcoming break for all of us.
I spend four days holidaying in Lake Kenyir. One full day travelling there, spend two days at the resort and one full day travelling back home. The travelling took about 16 hours to and another similar time back. It reminds me of the travel to Krabi during last Hari Raya. It was a similar tedious holiday.
After reaching home, I spend the fifth day resting at home , trying to recover from the long and tedious journey . It was mainly sleeping and resting and attending a yoga class in the evening, followed by a dinner at a Thai restaurant at Heritage Club. In the afternoon while sending my wife to do her banking, we dropped by Padang to eat some afternoon snacks ie Poh Piah and Persumboh, etc. The place was still crowded with tourist and locals. The Poh Piah was one of the best in town and it is highly recommendable for a afternoon snack.
On the sixth day, it was more like running errand with my wife to the banks and more resting and sleeping in the afternoon and followed by a yoga session in the evening.
My message in this article is that however we choose to celebrate the festival, time still flies and it will be back to work for me by tomorrow. If we shooce to do nothing , time still pass-by or we choose to do some hectic journey or activities , it still fly past. Time stops for no one and sooner or later, our life quota will be used up. So, don't wait as time waits for no one.
During the boat trip to a victoria type of water fall at Lake Kenyir, I met two couples of Indian - Chinese mix and they are in-laws to each other. I was having a conversation with the Indian man who marrys a Chinese wife. He is from Puchong , KL and he tol dme that his in-law is already 72 years old and he recommended this Lake Kenyir trip to him and he has been following him to may places of interest.
During one of his trip with his in-laws to the Sarawak Rain forest Celebration last year, he totally enjoyed himself while his in-laws joined him and dance the whle night long. He told me that the attendance is about 20,000 people. Just like the famous Woodstock in the USA. At the celebration, there was about 15 banks playing different types of music at the occasion. It was totally a wonderful experience. He recommended to me strongly. It is a life time experience.
We should do the things now and we should not wait . Certain things need to be done when we still have the strength and the health. When the time passes, there is no looking back as we can still have the heart to do but we are too weak to do it.
We can see our future and we know our body and ability and we should not assume that the strength or our youth and health will stay with us forever. As I have mentioned before in my article, tomorrow is never guaranteed and life is uncertain.
Namaste.
