I think I left my brain in Langkawi (an island). It's been a couple of days since I've been back and trasitioning back to work mode has been a bit trying. So here I am, writing in this instead of working on one of the four articles I have on my plate for the next issue.
Even though I had things weighing down my mind, just sitting out on the porch of the motel and looking out at the sea in the near distance was enough to lull my senses - the continuous sound of waves lapping on the sandy shore, the lingering smell of salt in the air and the cool ocean breeze dancing across my face.
Before I knew it, I felt at peace. The clamouring thoughts running in unpredictable zig-zags suddenly stopped. They all sat down with me and listened to the ocean's song.
Leaving the island was twice as hard because I was aware of the long journey ahead of me. The dreaded bus! Six hours on a creaking vehicle driven by a madman. The bus trip to the island wasn't all too bad.
But the "extra bus" home was a nightmare. Literally, I was trying my hardest to sleep and when I opened my eyes, luggage was flying off the compartments and the bus was careening from lane to lane, overtaking cars and cement trucks alike.
But overall, Langkawi is definitely a place I would like to go back to in the near future. I'll post up some pictures soon :)
