17 years later

It's been a very very long while since i last took a break ... let alone a holiday! So 22nd March must have been god-sent to say the least. Though nothing to shout about, its one helluva trip as I went with mummy, sis and my niece. Not something that I have done before and a whole lot different from what I did with the CB gangs. Looking back, I've never made any trips with mum before (safe for those schooling days trips) so this trip is definitely one big step, and definitely not the only one.

the trip was to a little town (not that small actually as I found out) in Johor called Batu Pahat; Looking back, the last time I step foot into this town was a good 17 years ago so I had to crack my head trying to figure out how to get there. Yea yea, i know, in these days of GPS, yours truly had to still rely on those horrible vellu-era signboards that points you nowhere. Ne way, these are the highlights...

this bunting caught everyone's attention ... and its not a hoax!!

(i know ... its obscene when grown ups do the peek-a-boo ... don't ask me what they were doing)

(mutated fish that was supposed to bring tidings of luck and wealth should it swims to you.. yea right!!)

Of course, after all said and done, I was really glad to have gone for this little trip with mum. It brings back so much memories and most importantly, reminds me how much I have not done anything for my mum. As we grow, the self in us soon took over, friends seem more important and time seemed not enough. But I guess all it took was just a simple decision that I want to do it...

and yes.. a beach holiday (and young coconut water!)
