several days ago, my family and i had a roadtrip back to my mum’s hometown. i swear, it’s located pretty much in the middle of nowhere. i actually used to resent going on those kind of trips, because it’s pretty much an off road adventure just to get there and places like that just don’t hold any interest to an impatient 13 yr old. now that i’m a 21yr old (fck, i’m old!), it’s a different experience entirely. it’s a place entirely left behind by time, as if time stoodstill at a certain year and things just remained the same ever since. being there just makes me feel like i’m closer to my roots (although i’m bruneian) and it makes me feel this sense of belonging eventhough it wasn’t me who grew up in those jungles. mummy and her siblings started sharing with us and showing us what they used to do there and i couldn’t help but feel that their generation got more out of life than our generation ever did. our childhood was spent in front of the computer while they were out hunting, sawing down trees, swimming across the river back and forth, building bridges and etc. those kind of experiences, people now actually have to pay to get them while at their time, it was just the way of life. it was interesting and definitely an eye opener.

the toilet was a shack in the river. talk about organic toilet!

while typing out this post, i realise my english has been deteriorated so badly, that i’m ashamed of myself. i couldn’t even form a proper sentence without broken english. the worst thing is that i’ve been speaking english the whole time i’ve been back, so what the hell is wrong with my linguistic skills?!?!
