On this day of my thirty third anniversary, I got up at 7, skipped my shower, had instant noodle with luncheon meat and gone out of the house by 815am.
Sitting in a tour bus, northbound to the city above the clouds for a two-nights' stay. A short break with my family. One which I felt has been long due but feels just appropriate.
My parents have booked two rooms. One of which I get to stay by myself. I haven't been able to show my appreciation much. Strange. While I'm always able to express myself better with friends, I'm mostly without much things to say with my parents.
The slow climb; I'm getting rather impatient to get off this vehicle. The mute uncle beside me has been shifting in his seat since the start of the journey, perhaps as anxious to get off as well. We just got past the gantry at the foot of the hill. With about 30 people this will be an even slower ascend. Most in their later years, I think half of the bus will probably return this same evening via the same bus. A "one day tour" the tour guide says. These people have a pretty similar look on their face. That gleam in their eyes. $$. It's unmistakable.
I'm starting to feel a lil dizzy.
I should stop writing now...
