breaking out 浮生半日闲

Today (Tuesday) afternoon, my wife and I went to visit my brother in Seremban and my second sister-in-law in my "kampong", 15 kms from Seremban. Sharifah, my neighbour few doors away, followed.

We stopped at Seremban to have our favourite ABC (Air Batu Campur). It was the same store I patronised when I was in secondary school. That was almost forty years ago.... (RM0.40 then, RM1.40 now)

After the visitation, we went to The Farm. Andrew was cleaning up the place. A group of 100 campers just left not long ago.

The Farm looked cool and relaxing in the evening. We chatted and later have dinner together.

No hustle and bustle, no stress. Just doing simple things we were able to do, like reaching out to others, say hello to people that we know, visiting friends and relatives. Enjoyed a moment of peace and quiet with nature. These are the simple pleasure of life.

It was a refreshing and delightful half-day break.















今天(星期二)下午,我和太太到芙蓉探访了我的哥哥,及在乡村的二嫂。我的邻居沙丽花也同行。

我们在芙蓉一间冰水档享用了喜爱的杂雪冰ABC。这是我在中学时代就喜欢光顾的冰水档,算起来都整四十年了。它的杂雪冰浓厚,椰糖香溢,我们一家人都很喜好。(以前是四角钱,现在是一元四角)

在探访过后,我们顺道去FARM 溜荡。我的朋友Andrew正在忙着做清理工作,因为一群约百人的住宿者刚离开。他也偷闲的放下工作和我们闲聊。

傍晚时分的FARM 觉得特别清幽和平静。我们聊到夜幕低垂,就一起去用晚餐。

没有繁华、喧闹,没有压力。我们轻松的做一些我们能够及喜欢做的简单事情,把问候和温情带给他人。再享受大自然的幽静和谐。这是人生的简单乐趣。

难得浮生半日闲,心境轻松,平和。人生就应该如此。
