A journey with an extended memory

Not knowing what to expect was the best inspiration to allow the eyes to wander in an unknown venture. The informal group comprising 8 persons met up very early in the morning to venture into a special journey via the Woodlands Causeway. There was a clear view of the reflection of the buildings that lined the coastline in the quiet Straits of Johor when the cars carefully travelled northward. Along the way, many seasoned passport holders walking swiftly passing by the left side of the cars in the opposite direction. The rush hours had not started as it was smooth going.  After clearing the Customs, they proceeded leisurely to the destination. The cars maneuvered their ways up the multi-storey car park. The first ice-breaking chat started at the breakfast.

The clouds followed them and changed colours from time to time. The eyes glowed brilliantly in the shopping mall. OTOT started from hair colouring and polishing nails to durian feast and enjoying the tickling of the toes and bodies.

Pausing once in a while and eating good food were the happy moments that warmed them up all their way into the evening that culminated into a delightful popcorn movie watching in a local cinema.

The air-conditioned blower sent the coolest air to this special group during the show.

The night ended with the desperate need to find the way back to the hotel as all doors within the multi-storey building had already been locked in the midnight. Thanks to the experienced travellers who led the group safely to the hotel rooms.

The next morning, Starbucks breakfast was chosen with the morning sun provided warm light shining brightly through the glass panel.

The fun and joy shared by the group were great all through the days and evening. They let their thoughts travel; their eyes wander in the journey but never even allowed money to travel into their minds. The car wash was a great experience as the travellers also refreshed themselves.

That was happiness in action during the overland travel in an exclusive manner. It was CHIONG all the way. That was solid and perfect. The fond memories of the journey were found only when they reached homes as if a diamond ring was found again. 

Here’s wishing one and all good luck, good health and great happiness until they meet again.
