Yaaloow!! I'm back. Missed me yet??
Touched down a few hours ago. Indeed, nothing happened to me. No plane crash (kay, tks for ur prayers), no crying stormy heavens, no anti-social elephants on heat, no complementary-electrode sri lankan man! sigh... but the worst thing is, not enough time for shopping!! sigh to the power of infinity. In case you were hiding in ur shell when yesterday's 9.30pm/10pm/11pm news were on, you'd have heard that there were anti-government riots in Colombo capital yesterday, & many roads were closed, thus severely aggravating the already-dire city jams, leaving me & fellow travellers with just one single 1.5hrs mad sight-seeing/shopping dash in the capital (but our lives are intact, hallelujah).
Anyways, it was a great back-to-the nature, cultural spa indeed. I totally love gg to the areas less-travelled, to reconnect with sane & humane civilization in their seemingly mundane but surely meaningful lives. (pardon me, i realized i'm eating my own words - what with city shopping, then with rural lives... anyways, sunnytears is full of contradiction, so kindly just ignore this blabber blemish)
The next minute when I can think (& type) with a straighter mind, I'd upload & caption the 328 pictures that I took during this 5D4N retreat. Yes, I know I'm crazy. Trigger-happily crazy. But no, my digital camera didn't hang in protest. My batteries didn't crash. Baby, if you must get a digi, get a Panasonic Lumix with its Leica lens. It's so hot it's cool (whose copyrights am I infringing?).
Pics coming up soon. U hang in there. I miss u all.
p.s. & I can't believe I'm more than halfway through my damn break.

how is it?! you went for spa?! that sounds cool.. but hmm.. Going to Sri Lanka for holidays... that sounds exotic enough! And i suppose things are damn cheap there huh?! i wanna see the pix! no clue of how that place looks like man....
hello smurffy, by 'cultural spa', i actually meant it as 'cultural rejuvenation' lah, not as in actual physical spa treatment. =).
but then, i did go for some ayurvedic massage in sri lanka, where we pay US$21 for a 'full treatment' - head, face, full body massage using herbal oils & avocado cream in a totally well-lit room, two clients-to-a-room, lying totally naked on some bench, + hot steam bath + sauna, total 1.5hrs.
Well... all I can say is, it does take some getting used to. No music, no soft lighting, no scented air, no air-con. It's an experience. =)
Pictures coming up really soon.
