Desaru Woo Hoo!

Finally, i got the latest break's pics out. I just realised the word "Finally" has such a procrastinator's ring to it, haha. And i tend to use it like, alot. Eeeeks.

Anyways. I had to blog about the latest trip because it was way over my expectations, woohoo! We were told not to expect MUCH at all from Desaru and after doing some online research, there's like nothing AT ALL there besides some plantations and little known farms. But I was desperate for a break and seeing everywhere nearby has been fully booked (yes, last minute bookings get you nowhere), i thought - "Why not? Just give it a shot. At most, i will just go into mediation mode for 3 days if it really stinks and come back and blog about it. Haha. "

But whoa. I was suitably impressed when i first entered our apartment. It was a real cosy double storey little studio apartment with a little kitchen corner built with a sink and has a microwave. For the price that we had paid, it was really worth it.

They have sort of a Wild Wild Wet theme for the kids, where there is a huge water playground for the kids to splash about and a nice long water slide for them to go crazy at. I actually enjoyed the water park myself and looking like a doofees (as what my close friend calls a female doofus), John and i went for the rides repeatedly. And that is also where i had the epitome of Embarassment happened to me *Face turning beet root red*. Not gonna talk about it and those of you who knew what happened, i am glad to have enriched your life with so much laughter. *AHEM*

There is literally no shopping there WHICH i liked so much!! haha. Strange but really REALLY, i am not the "go crazy over the overseas shopping because it is so CHEAP!!" kinda girl. I prefer to buy something of value from the place i am visiting for remembrance and won't purposely find places to shop; sceneries and cultural places interest me more. :)

So since no shopping, we just get to laze at the beach and really do some space-out relaxation. Picked up shells with the little one and more water-slides craziness. This explains why i am a few shades darker now and i am unable to shake off the tan. Poots.

But overall, it was a good break which i needed, to recharge myself mentally, grow more brain juices (i find my braincells tend to grow and sprouts more this way) and re-align myself emotionally.

Here's where i stayed: http://www.lotusdesaru.com/cms/

      

      

We will definitely go back there again and not surprisingly, there are so many Singaporeans there since it's just a half hour ferry ride away from Singapore. 

It is a pretty nice resort and unexpectedly good so if you are looking for a place to chill over the weekend, you can consider Lotus Desaru. *wink*

The spark within.

Sometimes we know not why we do

what makes our hearts beat

for certain reasons unfounded

and end up getting bruised ourselves

But many times we live for a spark within

the tingle which resonates with our souls

and believe it is what our lives is entangled with

giving nothing but all of ourselves

At times the world laughs at the foolishness

of what it caused one to be unexplained

And you left no words in heart to speak

except to whisper in silence knowingly,

"For you I will do. Because it's All for Love."

Chill.

6.45pm.
The Coffee Club.
Hazelnutella Milkshake.
With the little one.
Feeling the lull of Sunday evenings, despairing at the thought of Mondays looming by.
I'll miss that little rascal.

Fly away.

More often than not, I am melancholy and tend to brood. Whether incessantly, I try my best to stay relevant to the matters of the paradoxical world but most times, my common sense finds nowhere to park itself but to escape to the reelistic world.

Tonight, when the silver lining of the moon beams down softly and my mind caught the silence of solitude, this is the perfect time where i munch on sweet strawberries and let my heart write its unspoken poems, quiet thoughts, imaginative moments.

Most times, my mind leaves me dumbfounded when i look out in the endless sky, and my soul has this deep yearning to be curious and dream of places unknown where i wish i can just hop onto my Pegasus and fly.

Flying away to somewhere without burdensome pains, somewhere where i get to be myself without having to conform to people's opinions, where i can laugh simply, breathe happy, love deeply.

I miss being understood. I miss letting my mind wander to places where i can look so far away beyond the horizon and let my imagination run so wild.

Maybe it's time for a break again.

Just like the seashells. They'll never know where they'll end up.

I'll never know who I'll find.

Perhaps it's you I'll meet

With you I'll be.

All it takes is to fly.

Life and its lessons.

Recently, I have found out that I have yet to understand many basic truths about humankind. After going through the lowest lows and highest highs, I thought I have seen what i ought to see when it comes to complicated, paradoxical and ironic human behaviour. But alas, I am still that same naive, gullible, too good-seeking girl I was 10 years ago.

Sometimes, I blame no one but myself. I fail to see that there are indeed some humans here who can be worse than animals themselves, behavioural or not. I have no reserves in seeing good in people but there are some who will always have reserves about being good to people. Sometimes, I wonder if some of these people had experienced much pain in their past, that they can't bring themselves to bring good but pain to others as well.

Some says you are in control of your happiness. Whatever happens to you, you have a part to play in it. You have a say in what you do, what you think, what you want in order to gain this basic human emotion of being happy so as to survive another day in this treacheous world.

Some days, it could be as easy as looking up and admiring the cotton-like clouds above, appreciating wonders of nature and all of its simplicity. Other days, we may seek substantial methods to appease our self worth. Shopping does it for some people but a selective group of people, they crave happiness in the hypocritical sense that it pleases their inner soul when others crash, when others fall.

Fortunately, although I know I am very much insane, I am a good girl. I never meant evil upon anyone and curse them dead yet (perhaps only in fleeting moments when my blood pressure goes up). I love the people around me purely and they love me the same too. I have my close girlfriends whom I can hound when I need hugs, I have my family and loved ones who can accept me the demented way I am without compromise.

So I truly pity those who can only gain happiness when others are being hurt. I say a prayer for them, hoping that one day they will know how to seek the right way to happiness and soothe their sorry souls.

I am still learning. I will stop being naive, thinking everyone has a good heart and have no means to hurt me. I will have less expectations on people to be pure-hearted but convince myself that people essentially has a dark side after all. I will learn from my mistakes for being kind and perhaps this is the time, when my character builds; into something resilent, something unshakable.

Life gets interesting when we learn and maybe when the dramas in my life starts to unfold one by one, I might by then, finally understand us humans.

Amazing.
