It was good to have some time REALLY alone.
I managed to do quite a bit. Read chunks. Jot down notes. Sleep. Eat. Be quiet. Mind Map. Reorder research papers. Browse through books.
Hope I won’t fall sick. Somehow, I think I might have caught a cold. Must be the price rise for petrol.
Good to see the family. I think they are pretty happy to see me. Absent for 2 nights!
Weather was decent in Seremban. I think being around trees helped. Made me recall a conversation I had with a new friend who mentioned that being around living things helps a lot – whether it’s human or otherwise. Good insight.
Rushed back.
The "Komuter" train ride is actually slow and good for either reading or listening to podcasts. On the journey to Seremban, I managed to listen to two podcasts. On the way back, I finished a chapter of a book as well as mind mapping some notes. Better than driving there huh?
I’m a little tired now. It’s been a full day.
Emotionally I think I have been well rested. Intellectually on overload. Catching up spiritually … but physically needing some attention still. Even though some decent sleep.
It wasn’t perfect. But having some time away was necessary.
For that I am grateful.
The slow train ride actually gives you the chance to do a lot of things and it is actually quite relaxing if you ask me… I don’t like driving anymore :P…
However, I just hope that it would be a bit more practical for daily use in the light of our recent petrol increases. The delays, crowded cabins, and irregular buses etc. just tells us that an ideal transport system will only take place in another reality. Kyrie eleison.
