I AM VERY HAPPY..
guess this family chalet is one that i really enjoyed alot.. a nice break from work.. a nice break from society and commitments.. a nice time spent with loved ones.. 5 days away from the city.. tuck in a corner of sg.. though i am still in sg, the feeling of not being in contact was great.. no internet access, minimal phone contact due to a cranky phone.. there was just the basics.. just the waters in front.. being submerged in the family love was just marvelous.. this whole comfort wouldnt have started with me buying last min christmas presents as usual, me writing cards the last min.. feeling all so tired.. i left work on 23rd at 8.30pm.. having to clear all my work before i take a relatively long weekend break.. met up with minli for a quick dinner before proceeding to the far east for the next few days..
christmas eve, i took my 4 cousins out christmas shopping... my first time doing it.. giving them a budget and they shopped at bookshop and toy'r'us for stuff they wanted.. we had lunch in macdonalds which they all enjoyed.. last to end the shopping trip, thanks to minli, we all had a trip to the national museumn. it was an enriching experience where they saw the money and learnt the history of sg during the self guided tour.. they were exhausted by the end of the tour.. during the ride back, my youngest cousin was practically leaning on me and his eyes was closing. when he had a chance to sit, he lied on his sister's lap and fell into deep sleep.. but it's so satisfying to see them having a good time.
then it was BBQ.. all those food.. helped set fire on one of the nights.. loved the drinks and food and company.. especially during family chalets, i get to hear stories of the past. how my grandparents were, how life was.. silly things that my mom and her siblings did.. having a good laugh.. then it was late nights and then u wake up at wadever time u wan in the morning.. life like this.. is so sinful..
it's sad having to go home.. if only we can all stay together.. how much fun it will be.. back to work.. maybe having work life make u cherish and enjoy ur holiday better.. i suppose so.. next hols.. long weekend for new year.. then.. next yr.. go overseas!
