Was actually concentrating checking some stuff on computer when dad came into computer room which i almost didn't notice till he went near the table n saw the books i bought(joanne help me to buy lar, not myself).These books is written by 2 Malaysian travellers went backpack to europe-asia in 2 years duration, named The Grand Overland Voyage part 1 n 2.Are really nice journals to read on...love them...=).But tat is not the story, me n dad had a little conversation then n it goes like this:
Dad: Mei(younger sis in chinese), u bought these 2 books??They looked new...Did u buy it??
Me: (continuing typing on msn) Yarrr, i bought it...i mean my fren helped me to buy it....Is about 2 travellers backpacked around the world for 2 years....
Dad: Wow!!!Really cool....then he continued to say: Will u go backpack like this next time???
Me: *Pretty surprise of dad's question n stopped typing, turned to dad* Wat u think??Do u think i will do tat next time??* really curious bout dad's answer*
Dad:*laugh a little*Yeah, u will...*in such a confirm tone*
Me: Why leh??why u think i will ler??*dad's answer really making me more curious*
Dad: Of course. you should go, Life is suppose to be like tat wart, adventurous, going around....*so enthusiastic when dad speaked*....
Me: * really surprised tat dad said such things, n heart melted*yeah, i will lar, but wont go for tat long...maybe 1 year...
Was really really touched by what dad said, really...was actually surprised tat dad was so open bout travelling in long duration( more than 1 year or so) cause it also means will leaving away from home for a long duration, not seeing each other for long time while travelling around..
I was really overwhelmed by dad's encouragement, he already knew that i will travel like tat the next time, n even tell me that life is suppose to be like tat!That is wat i really believed in all this while, n dad without any hesitation told me tat...I melted in happiness...
Come to think of it, ever since the 1st backpack trip i went(sarawak), dad was the one who always support me throughout the journey.He was the one who said' if u dare to go, then go' when i was hesitating over the Sarawak trip as there was only 3 of us, n me being the only girl.
Dad was the one who grapped the mouse n clicked on the booking button when i was hesitating whether to join my naima family(babysitter who took care of me n my siblings when i was young) to Cambodia as they have already book their flights. He clicked n said go lar..y not??the opportunity is right infront of u...n then handed me his credit card....was touched...n because of his encouragement i went through all the stupid hesitation n flied to cambodia, siem reap n phnom penh, embracing the 1 of the 7 wonders of the world--angkor wat after a week after i came back from Sarawak.
Dad, without fail, whenever i on my way departing to somewhere, he will text in a short msg, wishing me an adventurous n great journey ahead, even when that was 4 am in the morning!During my trips, i will always wished him goodnite n tell him that i m fine over the other places n he will replied: NOTED, GOODNIGHT TAKE CARE...(not that i want to use capital letter, but my dad always love using capital when texting msg..lolz)...
N the most touching is when i was walking on the night street in the middle of Bangkok city, along a night market which sells all all sorts of beautiful flowers, he texted in n said he will become a full vegetarian, n said he do loves animal, no killing them, on the day i successfully applied into Veterinarian Medicine course in UPM.
All the while, he keep supporting me even when i decided to go to Hanoi in next year june.Dad i love u always~~
But just because of me travelling often(not to say often lar but once a few months), i always feel like missing something over here. Everytime i arrive in lcct after like 10 days of travel, n looking out to the airport, then felt the humid warm air when i stepped down from airplane, n the view from the bus when i reach the so familiar kl central, everything in here just seems so unfamiliar...no matter how familiar it was when i m around.
I always have this kinda feeling when i m back here: i missed a week of here.i missed all the happenings here, n felt like i lost a week in malaysia, just like the feeling as if i have slept a week n never wake up in here, KL. So, i really wonder, how will it feel like if one day in future when i travelled like months n years away from home n this country n came back to here?The feeling must be 1000x stronger then the 1 i had...n because of this kinda afraid-of-losing-a-grip-of-life- over- here feeling i really hesitate whether i really should or not to do this-travel away from home in long duration.... not to say hesitate, but will shorten the days lar..at least...I missed home everytime i went off....
I promise myself to bring dad n siblings to somewhere they wana go n have a great holiday out of the mid of their busy hectic work when i have my holidays.n now my holiday starts....so is the time to check on air asia website, deciding another trip with family. It might be a short 3 days trip since is difficult for them to get away from work at the same time.but i hope it will be a splendid n memorable 1.it might be just local instead of overseas, but is going to be a great 1. I promise=) u guys just relax n let me do the preparation for the trip coming k?
Oh, n i decided to go back Kuching with few of my coursemates on next year june, few minutes before i post this. Cause the air tickets r real cheap lar..rm 85 return cant resist, but tat is not the main reason, the main 1 is because i really feel like going bako national park, wat a beautiful place it is lar, i m sure this time round the feeling will also be different as going with another bunch of frenz n diff places also.=)n There are still lots of national parks that i haven't have the chance to explore on my last Jan trip=)Looking forward to it!But bout mulu caves pinnacles climbing, i still would wana go with yeow hong n zhi jian if can, cause it will be real fun tracking there!!haha=)
Alrite guys till then~
