Holiday

To some, holidays with family can be VERY stressful indeed. Then again, I am lucky that i went on a holiday.. and its road trip from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu (KK), with other 10 members of my family and we didn't kill each other... Nor did we had fights... we actually had a good time, despite being SO tired!!! and places we stayed in having problems... but i am sure you dont want to hear about that! The only problem we had were the occasional kids being kids moment that adults can't handle :) otherwise,... it was a plesant trip.

Unlike everyone else... we stopped over at Temburong, Negara Brunei Darussalam :) it was a real cool experience to live in the rest house again after all these years!!! It was DIFFERENT than it was millions of years ago... but the exterior was as similar as i remembered it 20 plus years ago! (I do feel ancient!!! that's 2 decades!) It was fairly clean... lots of beds... and cheap... my only complain is the air con was not functioning as well as it should... it shouldn't be called air con really....

The trip to KK should have been interesting... for those who are just learning to know me... I am notoriously known to have motion sickness.... and guess... I was sleeping most of the trip... so much for being co-navigator... But when I was awake, the scenery was beautiful... green... beach... cute little towns... and BUMPS all over the roads... Why didn't i realise that when i was sleeping??? :P and LOTS of fruits stalls... The journey back was very similar... but slept like 60% less :) he he he :)

In KK, again... problems with the air-con. the people at the hotel treating us as if we were STUPID did not help tempers of the "Ibrahim's". They only did something when my aunt threaten to leave the same night if, after our dinner, the air-con had not been sorted out! he he he... that really made them work... and it was then, i realised, Brunei was not the only land of MIRACLES... i think the whole Borneo island is an island of MIRACLES :)

Shopping... well... we did shop... bought some stuff...but didn't actually break the bank... so that is good... even bought something for everyone :)

and today.. i am back to work... and i realised... again... i need a proper holiday. KK sounds and looks like a good place to be... but next time, i am flying... and staying longer than 2 nights!!! and i am definately sight-seeing!!!

groan.... when is my next holiday??? I can't wait.... I reckon... everyone whom just had a holiday (and it most definately applies to me) should have another holiday just to recuperate from it... Maybe i should start a questionnaire and post it all over, and see how many agrees with me...
