Venezuela~

Fast lane as time flies unintended in Venezuela, the rainy moody tropical weather of hot and cold had made the days pass slow. A week more for completion and its holiday for real, not that coming here isnt a sort of holiday, but its an assigned work-holiday, hence it does not give the  freedom of just-holiday mood . Nevertheless, I will be  missing the friendly and accommodating people I know here.

Awaiting for the exit meeting and off to main city of Venezuala, Caracas and Paris for a real holiday ....last but not least, home sweet home which im pretty much excited. It has always been weird how much I longed for trips abroad when Im back home ,but yet easily feel homesick when im away from my loved ones....undeniably indecisive characteristics =) or maybe it was just the missing thoughts of ones I loved.

Decided to document my laidback half a month lifestyle at the small town of Maturin as Im not a fan of taking pictures of every single 'atom/particle' I see, but rather documenting it in words seems more interesting for me. A sedentary and different lifestyle here, relaxing. A place that I would longed to live in upon retirement  ...."retirement" in the sense whereby when you have seen all you have wanted to see in live, whereby when you have heard all you have wanted to hear, whereby you have experience all you have not known and hence, a relaxing lifestyle.

The diversity of culture here is interesting with mainly Spanish, Portugese  and surprisingly Indians. A rather poor city of Maturin with graffiti paintings all over is not a city of tourist destination. An amounted of 20 police cars in total in this Maturin town to cater safety assurance of thousands of residents nevertheless ridiculous. A city that speaks no English is real hard to be living in if you cant speak the native Espanol. Sight of the poor ones in the streets gave a sense of appreciation to the life you had , many may feel how inadequate the lifestyle they had now but its rather different when you have seen the unlucky ones with much more thankfulness in life. To be one whom is blessed over a meal they had for the day is worthy to life compared to ones whom feel "blessed" over luxuries of branded materialistic of life.

To be honest, everyone which includes me have had that luxury dreams of gaining every superficial achievement of lives, an undefined monetary value , an undefined satisfaction to everything beautiful to mankind....because we had seen the sight of things we wanted. To be walking in the exclusive luxury streets of Dubai and passing by the poor streets of Maturin is a different experience as a whole.

Yet, a turn-around thoughts also gave a different view of needs to achieve....be ever achieving in all dreams of life yet appreciative of everything you hold.

Before you start complaining about the party you cant attend, think about the working labourer who cant attend his loved family's funeral since he had no money to return to his home town ...

Before you start complaining about how unlucky you are to be working overtime, think about the about to due pregnant lady walking in the streets selling food just to sufficiently provide daily meal for her other kids...

Realised that I have written a sentimental preaching post all of the sudden=p

To how deep you dream, you can achieved
To how much you need, you would get
To how much you love, you would be loved
To how much you appreciated, you would be blessed
