Beach Days

Monday, December 8, 2008
Going to the beach is not simply a recreation. It is a place of rejuvenation where healing flows inside you like the gentle wave. It seeps into the skin like the blow of the cool breeze. You feel the sand crack under your feet and the wind carry your hair. You feel it touch your face and you breath in the fresh saltwater of the sea.

Sometimes we feel like going back to the beach and share it with our friends and family. We wonder what it feels like to be away from that urban lifestyle and we'd bring company so we won't go alone.

Since exams are over, most of us would go to the beach to taste that natural enviroment again. Maybe it's because we once lived by the sea and because we remember it in our bones, we can almost sense a deep connection to it.

"We find comfort from staring at the lining between sea and sky, wondering when it ends."

Naturally, we find comfort from staring at the lining between sea and sky and sometimes we would think when it ends. When we felt the warm water drench our feet, we could imagine our pain wash away and eventually get buried under the sand. Whenever you step on something upsetting, go wash your feet clean.

"Cleaning our feet"

In the end, it's the sharing that made it feel good. Releasing our troubles together can be amazing. It teaches us that building new memories can distract us from the old ones. So we try to to enjoy it the best we can.

Going out to the beach with your friends is always memorable. Even if you forget to bring your picnic basket, or a change of clothes, if you share happy memories it has meaning. When it's time to say goodbye, you want to leave Brunei as the happy place you remember it.

I almost forgot what the beach felt like during my exam month. I imagined the waves pulling and pushing me and the wind touching my face with its cool comforting hand. Of course, I'd never go there with bringing my friends and family because you need someone there to remind you and to prove that the happy memory existed.

That is why I can't wait for the 15th in Muara Beach. See you all there.
