about a month back, while i was away for a wedding i had d opportunity to catch up with a cousin of mine, who despite d distance dat separates us, gave us the chance to grow up together. d thing with me lately is, i despise crowds and dats pretty much d bottom line. so lately whenever i have d opportunity to unwind at home, i wudnt trade it for anything except for shopping but dats a different case altogether because im still a compulsive shopper so i wont hit the malls unless i have things to buy because dat spells danger!

anyway, back to dat dear cousin of mine, it seems dat she has been experiencing the same phenomenon of staying home and hating crowds, just like moi! whether or not tis is permanent, neither of us knows for sure but is it a biggie to us? of course not! think about it, when you dont go out unnecessarily, ders not much to waste ($$$) which will definitely do our bank accounts a favor. furthermore, we wont expose ourselves to all sorts of germs from the swarm of people at the mall (skrg ni musim org sakit, sana sini bersin and coughing and knowing our fellow 1malaysia, slambe je xyah ttp mulut because "sharing is caring") and the long queues at the checkout counters or sometimes d rude sales promoter who is tired of serving too many people. think about it...

i'm not implying that we're old but as we grow older, we cud use more peace rather than all d crazy hustle bustle dat we get daily. home isnt exactly peaceful but shutting d mind down on weekends from all the craziness of the world (ok, maybe tipu sket lar kan) is to be treasured because you may not know if you can have d kind of peace you could afford today when you truly need it in d future. oh island getaway, where art thou?
