7 days later

Days could go by so swiftly whenever you wish it would stand still for abit more. My trip this round could have been better...but i guess i have to try not to be too overly demanding on things. I'm not saying its entirely bad, its rather...well, could have been better. Anyways, a week in a foreign island. Sleeping till almost 10 every morning. Waking up to a buffet breakfast. Walk on the beach. Or just laying on a chair whole noon, getting a good tan with a book and the sea breeze. Moment of tranquility is a rare find these days.

I got a lil seasick on my arrival, the sea was rough and my tummy have been rumbling like the waves beneath the boat that took me. Took me the whole day to recover. I dont remember getting seasick before. This is first. Most days were pretty uneventful...just cruising along the narrow streets around town. Listening to washing waves and the occasional 'peem peem' coming from the local cyclist that do not own a bicycle ringbell.

Bumped into 3 chinese on day 4, they were enquiring at the local travel office while i was there waiting for my pickup to the sunset cruise i've just signed up an hour earlier. They decided to join in for the cruise...for a very simple reason: we speak the same language. And it was that...i ended up having dinner wih 3 newly mets and traded emails and promised we would send our pictures over. The world's a family after all.

I had my first spa experience this round. Wasnt anything fancy i must say. It's just 3 hours of pure endurement. I couldnt help feeling ticklish during the scrub and the oil massage session. I'm gonna pass goin for spa for a long time.

On the return, the flight got delayed for 2 hours. Expected. I'm hoping i can rest a lil bit more in the coming days before work starts. I wouldn't wanna start thinking about work...really...i'm not.
