You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Haloo! I am back and all fired up. The trip to Terrengganu was a last minute d
ecision. My dad just returned his taxi and so he was not working last week. Thats how my parents decided to go away for a short holiday. I think he deserves it too you know, after working for so many donkey years and not having time to go away on a break. I dont know how he do it. He has been driving the cab since I was in primary school. In fact I cant remember any time that I went to school in the morning without him sending me. I really dont know how someone, anyone can wake up everyday and do the same thing over and over and over and over again. Doesnt that drive people mad? I look and him and it is exactly what I DONT want to be when I am in my 40s. Still working!
That is the weird thing in my family. Everyone just continue to work for someone else they call boss. No one dares to venture out and start their own business and at least have the belief that they can make it. I am not going to sit around and wait for life to get better. I have to do something to make it better. Times have changed. There is a better way to earn a living than working for so many donkey years! I just hope that one day when I succeed, it will open up their mind and at least inspire them to do something to make their future a better one. For now, they can say or think whatever they want, it doesnt bother me.
Initially my parents were not sure whether to go to KL or somewhere else for the vacation. I already mentioned that if they are going to KL, please buy a bag from Petaling St for me but I would rather not go. KL is just like Singapore, terrible traffic, traffic jams everywhere, polluted air, hot weather, crowded everywhere. I didnt want to go someplace exactly like in Singapore. I kinda hate crowds, city life, everyone rushing here and there. It is a headache! Thank goodness, they eventually decide to go to Terengganu..yay!..the beautiful beaches are calling me!
The bus journey took a long 8 hours but since we travelled at night, we spend the time sleeping in the bus so the journey didnt really seemed that long. We arrived at Primula Beach Resort at around 7.30 am, greeted by the beautiful sunrise! I have always wanted to see the sunrise, its really my first time! While waiting to check in, we were then informed that we can only check into our rooms at 10 am as the all the rooms are full and housekeeping only starts work at 9am. I thought h
ousekeeping is suppose to be 24 hours? So we went out to one of the 'warongs' to have breakfast. As I walked, there was not much traffic and although I was walking by the roadside, the air didnt feel polluted. I like. Later that day, we went for a walk at the beach, there were a bunch of guys playing soccer at the beach and they were all wearing the same t-shirt. It turns out that they are from Brunei National Soccer Team and they had a match against Terengganu Soccer team at the stadium the following day. Most of the boys are pretty young and maybe 17 or 18 year olds. Therefore its a good view you know, some guys at the beach by the sunset. Is there a better view for a girl? Hahaha. By the way, that is a picture of me waiting endlessly in the lobby.
I dont understand why my parents, auntie and uncle seem to be obsessed in eating and looking for food. Let me prove it to you. See this picture on the right? That was how much we bought. I think that they still have this fear that we will die of hunger. Anyway, after the relentless search for food, they were too tired to do anything else! That is why I was stucked in the hotel room watching 3 movies in a row on tv!
The 2nd and 3rd day werent much. We went to the market to do some shopping and all that. Some of the 'batik' designs were so gorgeous! I thought they would look great when sewn into a dress. I wont write about it, it will bore you to death.
I am disspointed that I didnt get to swim at all! There was no one swimming at the beach. Apprently there were 2 boys who just drowned due to the strong current there just the day before. I think that is why the authorities do not encourage anyone to swim. Furthermore, I think some of them are still traumatised by the tsunami disaster. As for the pool, there were so many kids! I was almost too embarassed to dive in but what can I say, God has a plan for me. I couldnt even dip into the pool on the 2nd and 3rd day. Its a girls thing.
Anyway, here are the beautiful pictures as promised. I managed to walk by the beach the day we left. It feels good to let the waves and sand rushed into my slippers and all over my feet. I have been missing this. There were a few people just walking by the beach and snapping away as well. I saw this old couple holding hands and walking by the beach. They must be in their 50s. I hope I get to do this someday with my husband when I am 50. Its one of my emotional dream. The air smells so clear, so light, so fresh. I wish I live by the sea, the view of the sea is so spectacular, it reminds me of how small I am in this vast universe.
This was the view from the room.
Dont you think this picture looks like the sun is setting? Its actually when the sun is rising, but it was a little cloudy. Nevertheless, I thought its still gorgeous.
Anyway, now I can cross out walking by the beach at sunrise on my 'Things To Do Before I die' list. Yippee.
