this trip had many of my firsts =D. 1st trip going alone, 1st time going on a holiday for the longest period, 1st time using my expenses for everything and alot more other 1st times when it comes to almost ALL of the activities! woohoo!
the weather’s cool in the morning and night, the sunsets are beautiful, seen rainbows, star-gazed, felt the soft melting sand beneath my feet, view fishes & corals under the clear blue waters; these are some of the ‘nature’ moments that we all savoured and cherished during the trip =D.
As i write this post, feelings of nostalgia creep into me..
lots of other firsts: mountain climbing, trek down a volcano (this btw is my most hated in the list; ain’t no good testimonial coming from this activity =P), snorkelling, sailing on a cruise to a small island, quad-biking, buoys, zip-line, absail down cliff/waterfall, visiting Club Med (ATAS i like!) and many many more….
the look and feel. i mean most of activities require lots of physical + mental strength to see them through. so instead of complaining how tiring it was when i did A haha, i’ll say what emotions engulf when you’ve accomplished.
although climbing mountains is not my favourite pastime, the feeling of wafting through those pink pretty flowers at Le Pouce mountain, standing at different pit stops to snap pictures and finally reaching the narrow summit to catch the panoramic view of Mauritius, it seems worth it omg. Not to mention I felt such a sense of accomplishment when I managed to climb up and down the steep rocks/slopes OMG.
the sea activities were just as awesome too! unfortunately when we para-sailed, it was raining and we were shivering but it was a lovely experience. Buoys were fun because the Mauritians were trying to throw us off our buoys but we held so tightly and with the huge choppy waves they made, you can feel the adrenaline rush at times. Snorkelling was more or less peaceful for me except for the part when I thought I almost died because I couldn’t swim with my flippers LOL.the guy had to yank it out of my feet. it also seemed my life jacket wasn’t tight enough which was why I had this feeling that I was almost drowning. huge embarrassment and I wished I had more time getting used to the apparatus.
oOh and the canyoning trip was surprisingly a pleasant experience! We absailed down a shorter cliff with waterfall, trek to another cliff and absailed down another cliff, followed by ziplining across to the other side. Went on a zipline 3 times because it was so fun and because I try to perfect it each time I go =D!
Quad biking was slow but we took time to enjoy the nature, the deers, banyan trees as well as pepper trees and a citron tree that used to make mosquito repellent. The boss drove us back in a pickup and we went on a star-gazing feast with the cool breeze brushing past our hair and cheeks.
The Catamaran cruise was actually one of the things I initially looked forward to before I get on this trip. But now it paled in comparsion to the above. It’s awesome venturing out to sea and riding on choppy waves but sad to say, I only saw a dolphin flipper. LOL tough luck. But there’s this Avatar-looking cliff in the middle of the ocean, with seagulls circling around. What a sight. When we reached the Gabriel island, we had one of the best relaxing lunches ever. honestly a great chillax day.
Another chillax day would be during the free and easy trip we planned to go to Club Med all the way up North to enjoy the tai-tai life. Time was short but we managed to kayak, play beach volleyball, some last min archery, grab a few drinks and an ATAS buffet lunch. ooh la la.some of my frens even enjoyed teabreaks before we hurriedly left for the airport. It was the last day to wrap off our Mauritian life.
by then you might’ve realised i’m missing the volcano out of the whole experience hahaha. i’m now a trek-down-volcano anti fan yucks.
Now looking back at the past 2 weeks, they seem to fly by so quickly. Before the trip, I had reminded myself to really stop and enjoy every single moment I could. But due to the hustle and excitement coming from those tiring activities (and I was very concerned with my own safety lols!), I kinda forgot to stand back, pause and think. There were that few brief moments and those were wonderful moments albeit sad at the same time. Because when you realize you’re reflecting, you know you’re approaching the end of the trip. That’s the sad part =(. Wouldn’t say I wish I could do more (I still have phobia of slipping, tripping/ falling) but would’ve wanted time to last longer, so much so I could get so sick of it and come back. But it never did. But lasting memories are only lasting if they’re made short and sweet, aren’t they?
for the previous 1 mth in facebook and i realised i thought of and did so many things but i could hardly remember when and thought they’re 1-2 weeks old.
Like it’s been 2 weeks I caught Se7en’s showcase! almost 1 month since I went to RWS…more than 1 month when we visited Cheryl’s place to catch Super Show 2! And 2-3 days later will be 1 month since we celebrated CNY.Dream High started in early Jan! It felt like late Jan to me. The seaweed craze in my office is already more than a month.
Ok the only recent thing was my company’s D&D which was last friday but before you know it, it’ll be another 1 month ago affair. ack. No wonder I had no time to think. No wonder this is how sometimes I feel: what am I doing??? Because there isn’t time for you to ponder and say here, this is what you’re doing and you’re so aware of it every moment from now.
Seldom got to experience/ relish/ ever muttered this is it. I guess alot of my This is It moments were the times I went for the Kpop Night Concert and to Msia. Of course, the queuing for tickets was another of such moments. But let’s not talk about it haha. I guess those were the few moments when my mind’s put to ease and that I could feel I’m enjoying it as it passed by once again so quickly. But life scurries on the minute you step/ snap out of these few hours/ days.
I feel old. lol.
please be mineee.

It feels like since I was introduced to the world of Kpop and Kdramas almost a year ago, I have lost every other aspect of my life. When I’m not...
