Goodbye Holiday
Indeed! Such a bummer today. Couple of frens and I came out with this really impromptu idea of going on a budget trip to somewhere...be a lil adventurous....so we decided on Kampar! And we all thought it was good! Had all the ideas of going to Gua Tempurung, take the adventure tour etc...go makan cheap and nice food!..how can we ever forget food....
Did the neccessary plannings, met up on Monday for a lil discussion to finalise logistics etc..
Quickly book the van from church and prayed..Lol...yea that we'll get the van cos it's kinda last minute we know. Usually bookings has to be made 1 week ahead. Thanks to Bernard, he got all the bookings done for us immediately when I asked for help.
We had to go through a couple of obstacles too though. 1st it was the hotel, trying to get the cheapest and most affordable rates. Finally, thanks toRoe's dad, who has a friend who manage to book at a rate exclusive of ++. So that settled, another obstacle came in the way..
This obstacle was a lil expected dee la...the Van! YEA cos we booked it at such a short notice..to be able to get it is definitely a blessing already..considering the many ministries in church sharing those vans. So Bernard, told us we might get it..so keeping our hopes high and praying hard, we waited. This morning called Bernard, he said we got the van! Weee~!! Super excited!
And another obstacle, 2 plus this morning...my parents voice out their worries and concerns bout the trip. Loads of things they were concerned about. (I'm wondering why didnt they advice us when we were discussing bout it on Monday right infront of them?)Well I guess it's normal as parents. And some of their concerns were really valid and something to take precaution of but not a biggie really..But the main dilemma was that they suggested me to cancel the trip! WHAT?!!! Must be crazy when we did all the bookings and stuff! How am I to dissapoint everyone like that. Most of us I'm sure have already packed our bags and all set to go!~ Cant wait in fact!
Ok nvm..I told myself to cool it, and I prayed..That God would give me the peace if it's His will to go. Sent out sms to Roe and Hun too bout it. This morning, was awaken by the sms and phone calls bout the trip. Hun called, I told him what happened and we were trying come up with something that would give my parents more security and assurance towards this trip. So decided that he'll try rushing back from work earlier so that we can leave earlier and avoid having to travel so late at nite. Mum still not so happy, but I kept assuring her that it's gonna be ok. I prayed again, that if it's really God's will that we dont go then He would make things impossible for us.
So seems like everything is settled and we are all set for our lil escapade to Kampar. Till I got a call from Bernard informing that a 8 seater van is available but cant travel to Kampar cos the van is under power!! LOL... all hopes shattered!! *sweats*
Real bummer aint it?!..Lol...I was js telling roe that we are all like a bunch of kids now who didnt get the lollipop we wanted..=P Oh well prolly it's really God's will that we dont make it. Cos the van is the only thing that will stop us from going..take away the van, and the trip will go ka boom!! so ka boom it is...
Maybe tomoro we shud look out for the news to see if there's anything usual that will happen on the highway that God prevented us from going....haha....=P
We can now move on to Plan B! 1 day trip to Kuala Selangor have seafood dinner and then watch fire flies!! hahaha..anyone up for it?? guys wat say u? =P
