In a village, eating durians

i was away in Msia for the last couple of days. was back for my uncle’s wedding.
i havent been back for the last 7-8 years; everything still remains much the same… familiar faces in the “kampong” (village), the way of thinking is very much the same as well…

over in the village. the pace of life is much slower, they travelled around mostly by motorcycles, sometimes by cars. i hardly see any huge cars around, in fact when i went to the so called town central, most of the vehicles there are of the small scale kind. one thing which they enjoy over there which i don’t really experience in Singapore is the close knitted relationship between the neighbours… everyone was invited to come by for the buffet and even asked to take home food since there were so much left over… everyone knows everyone else …

relationship is what living in the planet is all about… our relationship with the environment, with our loved ones, friends, working partners…..

my big uncle who is having his own biz told me that in Msia 1+1=3 ….. it sets me thinking real hard… “flexibility” in all aspects of handling deals is the main thing…. tsk tsk

i had my fair fresh share of durians!rambutans! and mangosteens! yummmy!

after this trip, i was thinking village is ideal for retirement but never now!

Posted in whatever :)
