Road Trip

How rare do you see local kids going on road trip like every now and then? I mean, yeah, there maybe some who actually can afford the time and money to go for such trips with their family (most of the time). But in contrast, when you look at the West-Side Kids, they can go on trips after trips, just enjoying themselves and learning new things along the way.

I want to have such an experience also. But who will go with me? If you ask me to go with my family, I'll rather it be a holiday than a road trip. My definition of road trip is whereby my friends or partner or me, myself and I goes on a journey to experience life as a wanderer. Some may call it as backpacking, I'm cool with the term. I would like to try that as well. Just travelling and wandering from places and countries to see the different cultures and sights.

I have this plan in mind a few months ago. I'm going to find a job soon (part-time of cause), and save as much as possible (minus-ing my car and bike lessons payment) so that have a get-away trip with her. Maybe about 3 or 4 days by ourselves at Bintan or Batam, where no one knows us. Just both of us going around enjoying ourselves with activities such as shopping, sight-seeing, games, interaction with the locals there and many more. It may sounds like honeymoon to some. But wouldn't it be nice to just spend such a time with the person you love with no interference from your family and friends (especially those who keeps interfering a lot!!). I don't mean anyone, but shit stuff does happen sometimes, that just totally spoil everything.

Just like when I, finally, brought her the first red rose. I was thinking, how to give it to her. It took me one whole night and day to finally decide that I will go on one knee to give her. But some 'friend' of mine, just have to pop by and ruin the whole thing. Maybe it's just me being shy about getting embarrasses. But I would really, really want to try it again.

Well, back to road trip. I just hope that the time when I really am ready to go on my first road trip or get-away. The one that is going with me is my partner. The definition of my partner is the one I love and hope to spend time with the most. I don't know when it will be. But I am praying that it will be soon.

One thing I am going to do first before going to the road trip is to send my dad and brothers on a trip themselves first. So that there will not be any complaining about me. I just dislike the fact that you want to live your life like your own, and yet there are people saying that you only think of yourself and not of your family or others. I mean, yeah, we are still in a sort of conservative society, but what the heck! Must we be conservative in so many aspect in our lives?

I pray that Year 2008 will be that year, where things will take place for me. Where things will start afresh and where my adventure will kick start for the rest of life.
