RAYA 2025 - Kuching, Sarawak
Still can't believe that Raya 2025 has passed since a week a go. I remembered the last time before I left for Kuching, my desk was properly organize without a trace of unfinished business, pc shut down for the entire week and I took my notebook to keep up with the previous follow ups so that I am up to date with what I'm doing. At least I don't have to feel forgetful when my mind switched to "work" mode. Is not like I hate working but I prefer everything to be well organize. This is the very first time I felt organize ever since nobody disturbed me while on duty. (I'm glad the manager is retired after serving for 35 years.) Seriously, I am grateful and how pathetically patience I was for this.
Somehow, my packing period during the last week of fasting was inefficient (Never do last minute packing), because I brought kai-kai attires than home clothes and pyjamas. I only realize that I have 2 T-shirts and 1 long comfy pants for bed. Luckily, my younger sister in law sewed us a new pyjamas pants for me and hubby. Grateful, hehe. 2 Days before Kuching flight, I have to pick attires for myself and hubby and then decided the rest of the daily essentials. One of the things I've pack is my husband's songkok. (dah la susah nak pack sebab dia keras square kan.) I have to use bubble packing wraps to protect the songkok (In case need to wear for photoshoot. LOL.) and put inside a square paper bag. Just to make sure I don't shop during the trip but only dry goods.
3 days before Kuching flight, I was down with fever symptoms, back ache, body ache and flu. It was horrible to be calling in sick before raya. I am expected to feel discomfort during my trip but God gave me good answer for this Raya trip. I can't wait for the trip and all I want is to spend great quality time with my In-Laws side while enjoy the Raya festive in Kuching. As countless of sneezes and coughing goes on, I bear the pain by stuffing myself with warm fluid continuously. Constantly, I boiled hot water and poured into my thermos for comfort drink and then I refilled again when it's finished. The recent minor illness symptoms took more than 4 days to recover ever since covid existed.
My Raya activities in Kuching, Sarawak was more to eating and family bonding. I did not put a single thought about work nor even care about work at all. Which is the best feeling ever and I am never regret for it. My mind was away from the thoughts of problem solving and critical thinking that helps me to focused more on my time for my own. I disliked disturbance and even on weekends and it was disrespectful to contact employees on weekend when you can actually talk about the matter on weekdays. I'm that ignorant person on weekend because I don't see it as "working" on weekend. I come to realize that I have pay more respect for myself more than other people. I put myself no 1 for this time and am proud of it. I will never allowed anyone to interfere with my "me-time".
We went to a few restaurants and one of the day we get to eat home-cooked meals : steak, potatoes, mixed salads and Switch game for entertainment. We went out mostly, spending quality time with the Wong's and I have some spare time to watch and finished off "When Life Gives You Tangerine" 10/10!!!!!!! I recommended this k-drama so much as the series focused highly on family issues, life of mother/fatherhood, children growing up, school, future plans and the daily complexity. This drama has portrayed parental sacrifices and unconditional love and bonding between parents and children felt so authentic. It felt like I haven't experience this kind of reality drama that actually made out into a drama which people like us can felt the present journey of life. Me and hubby watched this together from episode 1 until ending and we felt "home" when we watched this. It felt like 'warm' and 'comfort' that we had when life is rough. Going to rewatch for sure!!!
