Don't you just wish love was just as simple as frolicking by the beach, being completely oblivious of the curious spectators around you?
Humans – as complicated as they are – weigh this funny little thing called love as a serious, committed and a responsibility.
Many a time I've pondered, how many times we've fell out of love, hurt the one we love most and ultimately leave the one we love so dearly for the pursuit of our own future? How often do people smitten by love argue their lungs out with each other and suddenly the most beautiful person in the world has morphed into the most despicable and wicked witch from hell?
And in the end, you only have yourself
Why do love have to end in tears streaming from a shattered heart when it was supposed to be the happiest thing that has touched your lives? Randomly, no, I do not have a tainted view of love… I'm just no idealist, thank you very much
Here's a video I made with the footage of a very interesting and natural call of all living things
Watch till the end!
The bitter fact we all ought to be aware of is that love is anything but simple and certainly unlike the video above.
It ain't picture perfect ala the ones represented in Disney movies nor does it necessarily always end in the timeless 'Happy Endings' and a true love's kiss.
Have you ever wondered why they never follow up with what happens AFTER that kiss?
Why do most love stories/movies/fairytales end just right there?
… When in reality, you know it's just the beginning of a whole new ballgame.
I headed back to give my family a visit and while I was browsing through some piccies, I realized that I long for another well deserved holiday so much! Well, MATTA Fair will be up and running next week and I just can't wait to choose the awesome packages there.
So lemme recap my weekend in Langkawi with the boyfie Josh some time back Realized that I haven't blogged 'em yet!
Departed from Swettenham Pier in Penang Island with the ferry.
Camwhored like crayyyyzeee!
When we reached, the first place we hit was the beach!
And decided to photobomb each other in the midst of narcissism
it wasn't planned! Bwhahaha
What a coincidence
Fast forward!
After playing in the sand like lil kids, it's time for some extreme sports
Motorboating yo!
That thing can go almost 300km/h yo
Took a ride! The seas were vicious but we still managed to squeeze a piccie
Thankfully, the speedboat didn't topple over!
We were speeding ala too fast too furious! Right in the middle of the rough waves
Take a look!
Josh superfreaked out lest I drop the camera into the deep depths of the sea
Nyehehe
But I didn't lor!
All safe and sound
Here I am acting all macho like I own the waves!
Bwaaaahaaha
All done with riding the seven seas :P
What an adrenalin rush!
This overdue holiday was done at the start of 2010!
That time, my red highlights of 2009 had faded off already
Let the rain fall and wash away our writings in the sand!
Chilled out more at the beach and walked along the stretch of bazaars! I went absolutely bonkers shopping for sun dresses, bikinis, hair clips and whatnot!
And then nightfell. Had a good night's sleep back at the hotel
And before we knew it, it was the next day! A whole new day of activities lies ahead of us
Went for a traditional Chinese massage!
I did the reflexology! Ima fan of foot massages, in fact in every island I visit, the reflexology is a MUST do!
Here I am getting tortured LOL
When you're laden with stress, I'm certain it'll hurt pretty bad!
And here's Josh getting himself tortured as well
I mustered whatever Mandarin I can to get the masseur to massage him harder!
Did some shopping and dinner thereafter
Awwwwwww adorable max!!
And how can we forget, chocolates!
Here are some of my faves… Guylian's seashells
Dinner at a seafood restaurant! Langkawi's pretty fehmes for its seafood
Loved the Pineapple rice there too! We had calamari, fish, soft shell crabs and much more
Our last night at the beach.
Thought it would be nice to sit warmly by the bonfire
And it was huge!!!
Not to mention extremely glaring too
A beautiful arsenal of fireworks made their way through the nightsky
The display lasted for almost 5 minutes!
Headed off to the Bird Paradise park the next day
So much birds! I had fun feeding 'em too
Cockatooooooooooooo
And it was time to go off already!
Time seems to stop whenever you're on a holiday ey.
Goooooooodbye Langkawi!
We'll be back again for the fun, the booze, the beach and the seafoooood!
Short weekends trippin' are the best way to renergize yourself for a brand new week ahead.
This year, I'll be heading to Pangkor Island, Tioman Island and Bali if everything goes smoothly as planned!
So we were on the way up the hill on the lowest gear ever to Genting Highlands and finally reached the Cable Car skytrain after 40minutes. But alas, the skytrain was closed!
The homies and I were dejected but we decided to drive up furthermore anyway.
BUT JUST BEFORE TANNIE TURNED THE IGNITION, WE CAUGHT SIGHT OF THIS :
Hmmmmmm… looks like the monkeys are having a jolly good time feasting on our McDonalds breakfast!
Initially the car windows were open but when those monkeys were getting a little vicious, we winded the window back up.
Glad we fed them a wee bit of breakfast for a change! Should there be a monkey swarm at the nearest McD, don't look at us!
Yes I'm still alive. Was just abducted by my piles and piles of books and lecture recordings, that's all.
Grapes while studying. Popoh made me eat 'em
Brain food, she says
So yes, my 1st examination of the year is over – American Music and Popular Culture. 3 more exams to go! Can't say that paper was tough neither can I say it was easy. It was just…. DISTURBING. Yes. That's the word. Disturbing.
But nothing like some good ol' Sushi to cheer me up!
Necklace by Soak Republic (i added my camera pendant in too!)
It was indeed disturbing to listen to oldies and folk songs on loop everyday trying to distinguish the instrumentation, distinctive characteristics of that genre and memorizing the names of the singers – I WASN'T BORN IN THAT ERA! Try remembering the songs of Scott Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Jimmy Hendrix
WHO?
They're prolly giggling in their graves giggling at us for havin' sucha hard time with their music
Duuuuuuuuuude. Like seriously.
As if tuning in to Light & Easy (now known as Lite.FM) everyday isn't hard enough.
Okay, enough ranting. I've just got outta the shower, smelling all fresh and in my PJs already. So is my dog. Here's Goddy and myself putting on her PJs for tonight. It usually gets cold in the middle of the night so Penny prefers to wear them while snuggling up on her scatter cushion.
Enjoy! She's not usually this obedient when we wear her pyjamas but I guess she's putting on her best behavior 'cos she knows she's on camera for all of you to see! hahaha
