...and every ending is a brand new beginning: CHILL

Currently Listening To : My Favorite Highway - Bigger Than Love

The long awaited getaway weekend came by ever so swiftly. It didn't came to my direct senses that 3-weeks has gone by. 5 more weeks and I'm back for more grueling contest. Wow! Maybe summer is just too short? Haha! Owh well...

So, this trip to Cameron Highlands kicks-off a series of mouth-watering weekend trips to come! I'll be up in Genting Highlands this coming weekend. On to S'pore for the following weekend. "Lastly," I'll be in East Malaysia - Sarawak, my hometown - for the first 2 weeks of July. I guess that just means my weekends are all out. For those of you who haven't catch me, take note yea? ;) Only weekdays. Haha!

Anyway, I guess it's fair to say that my family goes up there once annually. I'm pretty sure if it was much nearer, my parents would love to CAMP there more often during the year. But yes, I've been there for countless times and there's really nothing much to say about it besides the perfect serene atmosphere all we city-folks desperately need. Seriously, we really need to learn how to CHILL - actions speaks louder than words? In our daily conversation, we often come across the overrated ah beng saying, "Chill la..." Familiar much? Well, maybe the modern saying would probably be, "Take a chill pill. Chillax?" But, how many of us actually really "practice what we preach?" Probably, how many of us are actually ALLOWED to do so will be a better question? To actually take a day or two off just to relax and spend some real quality time with the family (or whoever closest).

See, I often second the idea of having a getaway to wherever for a break. A break away from the hectic city-life we experience on a day-to-day basis. It's amazing how we could survive (or rather endure) such hectic-ness for such a long-period of time without a proper break from this modern in-demand world. Personally, the idea of working and just blow my mind; what more, actually doing it? Haha.

Well, if you happen to fall into the infamous group of people who "desperately wants, but not allowed to" have a break from whatever you're doing, too bad? But, for those who could actually work around that busy schedule of yours, let me just "advice" you to be sure to do the above mentioned to "recharged" and get back into whatever you're doing a fresher and better candidate. I'm very sure it helps in one way or another - maybe not so significantly?

I always thank God for His infinite blessings. Direct and significant blessings such as placing me in such a fortunate and above average family who could actually afford to enjoy such privilege as going on a holiday trip. I consider such as a privilege rather than something we deserve cos I do think even a factory worker deserves a holiday trip. Thus, a privilege is what I considered these weekends getaway as. I could imagine otherwise...

Anyways, I should prolly not drag this any longer but go straight to the point. Enjoy all given "privilege" given from up above. Make the most of it and be sure to use it to your benefit. To me, it makes me fresher and a better thinker whenever I get such breaks. It just gives me that extra cutting edge to work on any given tasks. Hence, liking "time to time" breaks rather than a one-go LONG breaks.

To conclude, breaks are essential towards our daily lifestyle. It helps bring a better person out of ourselves when there's fresh-ness in us. So, fellow readers, take a chill pill, chillax!

Before I end, here are some pictures I took over my trip to Cameron Highlands. Hope it's pleasing unto your eyes as much as it does to mine.

Happy weekends! :)
