The feeling of tranquility is found...in this serene afternoon

Just realized that a nice afternoon nap could make me feel so good, so peaceful.
Even though i was away from home.
It almost felt like home, the moment i was awake and glanced at the clock.
Two hours i've been wandering in a dream i do not remember.
Not a bad dream i guess.
It's been long since i was able to sleep in the afternoon.
Not until form 4 and form 5 that i could have an afternoon nap.
I'd refuse if mum told me to go and take a nap because i used to feel that sleeping is wasting time and i'd always feel dizzy and have my head feel like lead after awaking.
But since i was in form 4 and 5, i was beginning to take up the habit of having a nap.
Maybe that was because of the tiresome homework and exams which made the nap a perfect excuse for myself to take a break, as i heard that sleeping can help the brain to arrange the information gathered.
But after i came here, i lost the ability to fall asleep in the afternoon again.
Part of this change might be due to the sultry atmosphere sometimes and the noises around.
So, just to say that, i'm glad i had a nice nap in this beautiful afternoon. XD

The Art of Missing and Retrieving =]

Back to this swirl of time, finally.

You know, it always feels so good to finally get to do something, to be with somebody you missed - for maybe just a little while, or so long that it is buried in your heart until you barely remember.

Last Friday went shopping at Suria KLCC with my dear sister and friend. Have been missing spending time with them so much. I was really excited the days before Friday when sis told me that she would take a day off to accompany me shopping for dress when i suggested so. Plus my dearest buddy Ern also came along. I couldn't help but felt delighted. However, the luck was against me on the way to get to the destination that day. Waited a long time for bus to get to KTM, then missed the commuter by the critical ten seconds, and the next commuter kept being delayed. So i finally ended up reaching there after two and a half hour.. ~.~ I felt so sorry to sis and buddy and grateful to their patience and insistence to wait for me until we met with warm big smiles. :D

We had a great time visiting all the shops interested, commenting about the beautiful garments and their prices, buying accessories, enjoying drinks at Starbucks, having simple yet delicious lunch (or dinner? XD), taking photos with the twin tower (though it's so hot standing outside :p), and even the experience of rushing in fear of couldn't catch up the bus in time is memorable. But sis please don't keep nagging me that i spent too much time in the fitting room ok? :P

Finally we returned home safely. Sweet home it is, though sometimes sis you hurt me like that, but i'll always miss and return to home, no matter what happens, :')

Today is April Fool, but it doesn't mean much to me, like how the others previously were.

Instead, my family and i went to visit grandparent's graves as the Ching Ming Festival is around the corner. As usual, this is when relatives gather aside from the CNY. We woke up early in the morning and took off to the cemetery with the food, paper products and other stuff. Traffic jam when we were near there. I felt so sleepy that i took a nap while being trapped in the jam. Finally, we realized that it would take forever for the cars to move again so we decided to park the car beside the road and carry the stuff and walk into the graveyard. It was cloudy at first, then the weather became sunny around 9am. What i indeed felt special about this day is that i got a precious light chat with my elder cousin. I don't even remember we spent time together when i was younger but i have the feeling that i miss the time in the past when we played together. My sis and him were very close when they were young. But we've got less time to spend together as we grow up. Our topic - after so long time did not chat - was about online game! Weird huh? XD 'Cause the computer was on that time, so as i also play online games sometimes, very naturally we talked about games, haha! Though it was just a short moment as i had to pack things to go back KL with uncle and his family that afternoon, but i think the little iceberg between us has been broken. And i feel happy with that.

Tell you what, everything does change with time, but something. And family is definitely one of those something. I love the bonds among us, the similarities we share in our genes, and thus personalities. That makes me feel warm. I'm proud of my family, proud of the surname Kon, now and forever.
