Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon. Unlike most Sunday afternoons when I'll usually be out there giving tuitions, I'm at home today. Jiajun came over and bought 'Lao Ban Tau Huay' for us all to eat. What a sweet gesture. I guess it's a good choice that I helped pull strings between him and my younger sister earlier on. After all, he's my army sergeant that I respect for what he has done for me. I'm still pretty surprised how fast they got together, knowing that my sister has really high expectations. He's lucky I guess.

Dearie came over to accompany me. Had a nice time snuggling in bed, listening to smooth instrumental music. Kevin Kern's to be exact. And here I am, trying to start my revision for the papers. Staring at the computer screen, waiting for something to happen. Sometimes I wonder what's my studying style like? "Last minute" seems an appropriate choice of word to describe. But well it's now the final two papers before I can officially say I have graduated from university, and possibly, graduate from academics studying altogether. Worried yet I couldn't wait for these all to be over. So that I could better concentrate on my new career, tuition, and of course to spend more time with her.

Here's something I wrote few years back, while she's asleep. Oh, and she's now sleeping soundly on my bed. :)

Written While She Sleeps

A figure curled up,

Seeking out warmth.

Cold air blowing,

Her long hair flowing.

A sweet face peeking,

From under the covers.

Heart-shaped lips,

Pursed as she quietly sleeps.

 

She stirs,

My heart skips.

I look at her,

Longing to kiss her lips.

Lush vocals of Emi Fujita,

Lullaby of piano and guitar.

May my beloved dearie,

Be dreaming of me.

May my beloved dearie,

Be dreaming free.

 

Golden Palm Tree Resort, A Lovely Stay.

Earlier in September, I have arranged to bring dearie out on a short getaway trip together. The trip was meant as a birthday gift for her. After contemplating over which destination we should go, this place called Sepang piqued my interest after I have heard about it from an ex-colleague. It so happened that my other friend's sister has been there before, and she was in awe of the place.

Prior to these, I have absolutely no idea where Sepang was. In fact, I looked puzzled when my ex-colleague told me about this place. Either it was my level of ignorance or I haven't heard about its existence. So yeah, I decided to google it. Saw its website and it looked just so gorgeous! Dearie liked how it looked too, at least through those pictures. http://goldenpalmtree.com/

And so, I went ahead to book the tickets! I have to make this clear that I have not organised an overseas trip before, not even with friends, sad to say. This was the first ever time I was doing this. So I was pretty excited, but confident this trip would be a sure-go! Next thing I know, I headed to Five Star Tour Agency, booked my tickets, and off we went! The price for two cost around $720 for a 3D2N package.

The trip there lasted about 5-6 hours. We were pleasantly surprised that we were the only ones on the coach! Talk about booking the whole coach. Hahaha!

Some highlights of the trip:

On the second night, I went back to my Villa only to find an envelope outside our door. It was an exclusive invitation to dine at their VIP exclusive lounge the next morning. Wow. And we were served by a waitress and a chef, the whole private villa literally belonged to us! I was very impressed with the overall service during my stay there.

It was really more of a photo-taking trip. Haha. Our love for photography took us to places! See those pictures in the video below! Oh, pssstt... we did 'limbo rock' on the second night. Joined in some tribal dance. It was wayyyyy fun! :D

Alright, I should let the video do the talking. It was a really memorable trip for us. And this trip really brought us closer to each other. And for that, I'm thankful. Looking forward to more trips with my love.  :)
