A Trip, Finally!

     This is already the second week of the mid-year term break. I have spent the first one marking exam papers, giving extra classes and finishing various unsettled business that I have been putting off for far too long. Cleaning up my house was on the top of my list, needless to say!

     Well, what's in store for me in this second week? Guess what, I have finally found some time to go on a vacation! Yes (waving arms in the air like a moron) !!!! Many of my colleagues have gone overseas right when the holidays started, and by now, they are on their way back or have already come home. As for me, I am just going to somewhere closer to home, as this was a very last-minute thing. I had to be completely sure that I will be free to go, so I did not want to have plans too early on. 

     Okay, so I have decided to go to Langkawi, which is approximately three-hour drive from my hometown, Ipoh. It will just be a short stay, but I can finally go to Langkawi Geopark, which is listed as one of the UNESCO Heritage Sites for its breathtaking beauty of nature. Bus and train tickets have been bought as of today, and hotel bookings made late last night. Yes... what can I say? I'm a last minute kind of person... I will be travelling solo because it is too late to ask anybody else and my family members are occupied with their own things... but it just makes the whole experience more of an adventure! Can't wait to set off tomorrow...
