A Long Holiday.

Hye, long time no see.

I have been going on holiday for the past 4 weeks.

Holiday, to places you've seen before, but I see them in a different way.

I guess I just needed some rest after a long stretch of serious thoughts. Like our bodies, our minds need holidays too.

Sometimes, our minds need rest so that when we look at things, we can see them in a different way.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not Mr Creative, who can see a rectangle in a thousand possible ways.

I'm just saying that when our minds need rest, go and rest, while you can.

So what about my holiday?

I went to the grasslands of Scotland, where it is as tranquil as the river and as calm as the breeze blowing.

I went to Malaysia to 'see' my family. They are the ones I can rely on when the going gets tough.

I went to the snow in Russia, where it is as cold as death and as sinister as steel.

I went to the beach, to see the sun set, to feel the hungry sea, to feel the rough sand on my feet.

I met a lot of new people as well. People with youthful energy always ready to do anything to fulfill their neverending thirst for adventure.

People who are old, and are only content as long as they are not forgotten by their kids.

People who are like me, who are in search of love and the meaning of friendship.

People, generally, all types of people.

And a long holiday was what I needed. I am still a student in the cold school they call experience. Now, I know more, I can see more. And I hope I will continue to do so in the future.

Pheww, that was a loooong holiday. Told ya.
