bah. titles. i can't think of one.

i'm amazed how many people actually read that huge block of text below. i mean, i didn't think you people would think it worthwhile to wade through lines and lines of stupid sentences and missing capital letters. so, wow. i was amazed i even had responses. to those who read, thank you so much for your time. i know i didn't make much sense. your replies mean a lot to me. especially yours, jane. and to a certain someone who didn't reply, but did talk to me about it, i appreciate your willingness to listen.

i think it would take a long time for me to find my answers. it isn't exactly google-able. but i guess that is what makes life beautiful. the eternal quest for answers to even the humblest of questions. and i think i AM finding my answers, now that i keep my eyes open.

my holiday was full of thoughtful moments, punctuated by splashing waves and over-enthusiastic jet-skiers. i learnt a lot. for example, i learnt that you can get attached to a sunset. 

this is my sunset and it is beautiful. i don't care if you think it's ugly or mediocre or [insert negative adjective] but i think it looks like a stairway to Helios's golden realm of fire and wonders. it's like you can just step on the waves and reach the brightly burning gateway to the sun and when you peek through you just might catch a glimpse of Helios and his chariot and you can see his horses panting fire and their white-hot horseshoes smoking as they cool. i know i sound cliched and touristadvert-like and i know the 'e' in 'cliche' has a 'shck' above it but i don't care enough to bother googling nor sitting for 5 minutes cracking my head for a godforsaken SAT word.

oh. and i learnt that Borneo isn't the only place to find hornbills. yes, people. Pangkor has them too! Hornbills!

i swear these are real! and a note to my dear Sarawakian friends: these fellas measure about 3 feet from tip to tip. so, Bamboo, it IS possible for them to perch on electric cables. they just prefer hanging out on trees. hah.

so i guess we can safely conclude that this trip wasn't so pointless after all. i got to see my hornbills :)
