Shinrin-Yoku maybe?

It's Monday!

Yesterday, hubs and I took a trip to my parents orchard. We call kebun.

I've visited the place a few times over the past years but didn't really go in because we never had the right gear and truthfully, it has been more than 15 years. Cleared it halfway once about 5 years ago and then left it to grow wild again. Work, study, life in repeat. In short, I got busy.

The kebun is practically a jungle now. This place brings back the memories from the best time of my childhood. Where I learn and respect nature.

The durian and rambutan season, picking ciku fruit from the trees, chased by a family of wild boars and taking cold showers from the telaga my dad build with my uncles and his friend.

I remember before heading back home after a full day at the kebun, my family will gather at the telaga and we will have a quick splash. The water is so cold, I think the village nearby can hear our screams from the terrifying cold-splash!

Of course the telaga back then doesn't look like anything in the picture. The area was alot 'cleaner' with no wild trees growing around it.

Good times.

The highlight from the kebun visit was discovering the telaga again. It made my day and I am still smiling today.

Needless to say, you might not recognise me this time around from the extra extra pounds I've successfully put on. I visited this blog sometime last week and immediately thought, OMG what happened. I still think I should continue to blog. So this post, is the 1st for 2018.

Kathmandu, Nepal

This will be my entry on Kathmandu. The perks of having a travel journal. You write it down. Close the book. Open it again few months later, you will remember the places you have visited. Even the tiniest detail that you probably have forgotten! It has been a few months since my last trip to Nepal, and it seemed like its been too long. Reading back on the notes, I think it is high time to me to transfer everything down here, and probably leave the itsy-bitsy detail in my book. It was my first visit to Nepal, and I certainly hope it will not be the last. Our first day setting foot in Nepal was Kathmandu. The busy streets, the locals,hikers, tourists, bikes, cars and the dusty roads is exactly what I've pictured prior setting foot here. Experiencing it on the other hand is another story. Wee morning in Kathmandu. I love how the mornings here is chilly in March and before the roads get all dusty and warm, it is then the city comes to life! The colorful and pre...
