After…
Recently back from my fellowship annual trip. Yea, managed to get together with this particular group of fwens at least once a year since graduation, to go on a holiday somewhere. Unfortunately, not all are able to join in on these trips every time. Still, will have to adapt.
So, what of this latest trip? Gold Coast, Australia. Lucky that one of us is working there, accommodation wasn’t much of a problem. With the introduction of Air Asia X, flight ticket rates became acceptable. Not much consideration needed after that. There were issues regarding the duration of our holiday. Everyone is working, after all. It’s not common to have a 2-week holiday under normal circumstances. Still, we each managed that, and the rest is history.
And then, the holiday ended. LOL. Fast, eh? Well, isn’t that how things always are? Went to places I didn’t expect to go, did things I’d never thought I’d do, enjoyed doing certain things which I’ve not done for a long time. That’s the thing about this bunch. We’re all grown up in a certain sense. Doesn’t mean our inner child is gone though.
The result? I got sunburnt, and lost 3kg in the process. LOL Spent a lot too. What did I buy? BOOKS!!! It’s their year end sale, and it’s really cheap, Should have bought some clothes, but didn’t feel like it. Bought a new pair of walking shoes, a new bag, a sweater, and some souvenirs for some people. Overweight by 10kg. LOL Somewhat expected though. The main thing is that I had fun. Not much rest, but that’s what comes with holiday. 
Truly, I enjoy such trips with the fellowship. Hectic, challenging, painful even, when it’s all over, I’ll smile and laugh looking at all the photos. However brief those moments are, it may be only once that all of us may be together at that 1 certain place where we are usually unlikely to go to. If the opportunity presented itself, why not, right?
Before I left, made a few online orders. Due to the X’mas and New Year holiday, wasn’t surprised that things arrive a little late than usual. What’s important is that they are received in good condition. And with that, expenditure on the things that I want will have to be put on hold. Hate to admit it. Financial situation isn’t that good at the moment. Added commitments don’t help much, but in the long run, it’s for the best. So, will just have to be patient and take things as they come.
Am still living life by the day. A little surprise that things are proceeding smoothly so far. Not expecting too much though. Some things will have to change. For better or worse is really a subjective matter, but the change is still necessary.
What’s definite for now is that I can’t look too far ahead. Don’t want to overlook the small pebble that may be just right in front of me. Future concerns are what they are, future concerns. So, not today…
