of Holidays

There goes the end of the year, and here comes a brand new year!!!!

Christmas and New year are always refered to as holiday season for no reason.... i guess regardless of which part of the wrold you lives, end of the year are always holiday season. That leads me to conclude that "people trave during the end of the year " and that "tourism sector earns the most at the end of the year" i could be wrong, as i judge by my experince which is so little but yet sufficient.... contracdicting... yes... yes...

Most of the time, holidays are spend with family members... even if u travel, you travel with parents more often... (or is this just another "Asian/Chinese tradition")... but as for me... hmmm... hardly?

So... if you are not well infromed, i come from a very small family... a family that consist of a father , a mother, and an only child.. which so happen to be me (duh~~~)

and thus, i donoe if that's the reason... i dun travel with my family too often... reason being...

1. My ideal of holiday is, travel in groups of about 5-8 but less than 10... so with a family of 3 members... that cant be achieved.

2. Mind you, im from a typical-traditional chinese family, bonds between parents and child are not that strong, it just sometimes feel awakrd.

3. Activities that i could do during travelling are limited... my parents are not young, niether are they aged until they can hardly walk, but just like roller coaseter and stuff like this... they wont be going up on a ride with me anymore... not like those small kid roller coaster they used to bring me to when im young... they could take a ride with me in those but not those that i could still find excictment in....

4. odd numbered family member... most of the time when u travel, it's best it's in pair... so things can be done in pair. like most of the activity required... even not pairs... it's usually even number and not odd number

well if 4 reasons above are not sufficient... i could provide more... butjust not at this moment.

That's why i have hardly travel with my parents since i was in secondary school... frankly speaking, i couldnt even recall the last time we actually travel as a family.. i think it was kuching when i was like 7 / 8 ??? well of coz driving to ipoh, penang johore, singapore... i din count that as travel... i donoe why... mayb they are just too near and most of the time we go there with something official biz to do and along side with travel... (travelling is side dish) also these does not requires passport... yes yes singapore need... but i have stayed in singapore for about 3 years when im young... so singapore to me are just like... erm... going home (feels like) and it doesnt gives me the feeling of travelling...

my dad will be back for CNY and mum has asked to plan a holiday... stil figuring where to go .... i have langkawi in mind... but the tot of wat to do there... just... keep me wanting nothing more...

shall continue to think then....
