I am fairly holding my pride when i write this post. Result
announcement took a short time to heal and more time to absorb the happy
pretense. but everything happens for reason i guess. That's exactly why
i can fathom our denied acceptance into Thailand. M&P were sweet to
arrange a 2 day Thailand trip for both me n dee after hearing out that
we wont be having enough time to spend with them as we had already
brought our tickets to Delhi. So, we agreed to go to Thailand on the 3rd
of April. We took the nigh bus drive to the Changlung border thats
separates south of Thailand and Malaysia. Little did i know that my
excitement was about to drop dead when we were told that the visa fee
was Rm200. M&P made it known that it was far too expensive and the
rest of the trip wont be worth the money. So, we rented a cab back all
the way to Sungai Petani to spend the rest of our remaining days. The
days in Kedakh was awesome. we had a drive to Penang to fill the missing
scene of Penang. I am love with the beaches and the freedom that I
relished during my Training days.
The best Part of all was that I
got to Participate in Ching Ming. It is a custom in Chinese culture to
visit the graveyards of their late Parents and relatives. I like it
particularly because I feel a unique sense of relief and Peace.
Sometimes I wish I too could visit my Mama's tomb and remember her!
Moving
on, I made a visit to the Pada Museum the next day to learn about the
Paddy culture in Malysia and go back to the villages. I must say that
the museum was beautifully made. The Best part of our Kedakh tour was
the BujangValley. The valley presents the early Indian civilisation in
Malaysia, though the country denies its ancestral from India. anyways, I
had a great time admiring the artifacts and the culture that existed
thousands of years ago. it is amazing to see the remains of their
architecture and ornaments that tells a lot about their lifestyle and
religion. Among all, I found a Particular Buddha statue most appealing
though the face has been rubbed clean due to aging, i guess or
metamorphosis. yeah, after strolling through the places of golden era,
we took a jump in the river that was flowing. It wasnt a big river but
we had a pretty good time.
Back to the house, we leaned
in for a while and then headed out for Dinner. I have no idea where the
place is located. All I can tell is that it is near the beach and it
crowded and also that we had to wait for nearly an hour for our order to
arrive. Thank God the Food tasted good otherwise I could have cursed
the sky above for sheltering me!
The following morning, the day dawned for us to head back to the city and just stay in there.....
