I was surprised that at the end of that journey, I hadn't written down my thoughts.

But I guess/recall that I was slightly overwhelmed with all the last minute things that kept me busy, and I knocked out with the last weekend most memorably spent on the beach. It wasn't even sunny the way I like it, but it felt (a little) like those phuket-sea days. Jus standing/threading on the sand for like 2.5 hours, facing the waves and still felt like it was minutes such that I couldn't bear to leave. So even if I didn't travel, I felt like I went on a mini holiday, doing things that I really enjoy even if I was slightly not used to being away in this manner (I was even bored at some point?).

Then, the first week of this journey zoomed past me. A week later, it still does.

And because the sea seems to have such effects on me, I am waiting for more sunny beach days, and a water park day. Those were the days - the disney theme park days that I didn't think I enjoy as much till I looked back and felt so.

Patiently till April 2014...?

2 Jan of the year, was a new start for most people. It was a new start for me too, because it was the end/byes of the journey thus far.

It was like Christmas all over again, because of everyone's blessings and greetings. I felt like it was Christmas again that very moment.

And I lingered until the very end to say all the goodbyes, all the thank-you, and all the keep in touch. That how many we can live up to it, shall be decided by where life will bring us to.

The very last bit of the memories, of tying up the loose ends, clearing of table and putting everything back as though I was never here before. It's magical that it wasn't as sad as I thought it would be; it wasn't as sad as the second last day in fact. Maybe the break in between before this very last day helped cushioned. Or maybe otherwise.

So byebye for now, someday.
