friends and holidays

You know what makes a great holiday?

Going to see great works of art, architecture is great. But its also the company you keep. There's something about the people you meet and the friends you make - that make holidays even more special. Its not just meeting people- its also about making connections with other people- and finding common ground - and resonance.

I fell into a total blue today. I tried getting it out of my system by going to the gym and running myself silly. But ended up TIRED and depressed. haha. I keep on daydreaming about the whole trip to Sipadan... but most especially the friends I made.

Let me tell you something about myself. I don't know whether you experienced it before- but have you ever been in a place with people who didn't like you or - treated u with indifference- like you weren't there? Most of my growing up years were spent like that- in isolation and in hostile or in indifferent company.

That's why I really appreciate it when I meet up with people who are gracious, friendly and accepting of me. I try and never take such acts of kindness for granted.
