While I am given some time to update my
blog, I would prioritize this post by blogging about my great summer break back
in May to August. It was definitely one of my most enjoyable summer breaks, and
I really missed every bits of it. I had not gone home during the last winter
break for no reason, that’s why I really cherished every moment that I spent at
home. I first started off my summer break by going to Hong Kong and Macau with
my family and uncles. It was indeed a time I treasured a lot because being abroad
all these while without them was not fun at all. Being able to spend some
quality time with them, it’s beyond what I had assumed in the past. Although it
was not a long break with them, it was still a much-needed gateway with them.
After came back from Hong Kong and Macau,
I spent the following week with the best friends in Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung.
This trip was undoubtedly fun, memorable and pleasurable. It was our first trip
to outstation after knowing each other for 6 years. A
6 days 5 nights trip to Indonesia was an indelible trip, which will never be
erased in the memories of ours. From the first day we departed from KUL to
Jakarta, to Bogor to Bandung and back to Jakarta, all the moments that we had
shared was fresh in my mind. Every morning we woke up and looked at each other
for the consecutive days can be so precious, which can be happened rarely in
the years to come. I'm sure we had fun enjoying ourselves throughout the trip.
I really hope we have more chances to have gateways with each other in the
future.
After came back from Indonesia, we
actually still ‘stick’ together for consecutive days before Ying Yu went back
to SF. We went to KL for 2 days 1 night to enjoy those attractive desserts and
nice foods. From Acme Bar Café to Dip’N Dip to Snowflake to Village Park Nasi
Lemak to Haraju-Cube, we experienced food coma on that time! That’s not the end
yet, because we continued to hunt for foods after we came back to Malacca. The
best thing of it was the five of us, the so called ‘ All belongs to us’ finally
met. Cheryl, Chin Ying, Feli, Ying Yu and I, eventually met up and able to
update our group icon! It’s been a long time, we gathered and spent an
enjoyable day. I could not imagine when will be the next time the five of us
will meet again. I supposed it would only happen when each and every one of us
had graduated from universities.
By the time Ying Yu went back to SF, Feli
started her new semester, Cheryl continued with her internship and Chin Ying
attended her class, I was left alone in Malacca. This was the time when I spent
it most of the time with my mom solely in the shopping center, grandpa’s house,
café, restaurant and etc. I really missed every moment that I spent with her. Even
though there were time when we had nothing to do, but being able to spend time
at home was kind of enjoyment. You would not know how a sweet home would be
until you’ve left home and stayed alone. Every moment spent with family was
always the best part during my summer break.
In the three months of break, I had also
spent my time with friends who I had not met and missed dearly. We hung out at
different cafes, laughed, teased, gossiped, and loitered around with each
other. Few days before I left to SF, I got some surprises from my dearly
friends and family. I did not expect any advanced birthday celebrations from
them, as I thought that a 22nd birthday would be an ordinary one.
However, I was totally surprised to witness a cake appeared in front of me on
our last outing. Thank you the big bunch of you. Having you guys by my side
through ups and downs since we were 13, I am totally blessed. Not forget to
mention, my lovely family for giving me a small birthday celebration the day
before I departed. I love each and every one of you for a lifetime.
That’s basically sum up my three months
of summer break. I would say it was a superb break, which I needed and waited
for so long. I felt like the three months of break went by too fast, in a blink
of an eye. I could not even accept the fact that it’d gone. There’s no more
summer break for me, which is really sad. As promised, I will be back on the
upcoming Winter break. I look forward to seeing you guys once again.
Till then.
Jie Ying.
