Love-hate of travelling


By le cahier de Justin (Visit website)



I have a few minutes with my banged up laptop before the boarding passes me through. For the first time on the plane, I had absolute time to myself. I read, slept (though intermittently), worked all at my own time. I love the exactness of the plane travel. When captain says it's 14 hours and 53 minutes, it's exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less.

I did have the unfortunate chance of having a crying (screaming) baby within a stone throw. When I say stone throw, I did feel like throwing a stone at the mother. While the baby wails, she calms her with her flustered cooing. Not going to work. Her rocking might have been more vigorous than that of the plane's.

I thank God for allowing me to have an iPod. And giving me access to episodes of Big Bang Theory. I've finally watched Inception and tried watching Despicable Me. The latter was nothing more than shit.


I love travelling alone. No offence to family, but I don't feel the pressure of finishing up that starch square the plane calls a cake. I'm not going to dwell further into the plane food because the greater of us knows where it'll end up in. Though I have to say, it isn't as bad as I expected. Cathy's catering must be doing a decent job in hiring cooks.

Flying up into the air reminds me of the first time I travelled to Canada with Kor. Tears in my eyes, shaking so hard to save what ever dignity I had left while trying not to cry. I realised how far I've come and how true what Ma said to me. 'It's not easy to do what you've done for the past year, well done my Son.' Less than three.

Having the opportunity to travel and exchange hearts with people across the globe has given me a deeper perspective to life. There's always something bigger going on, and there's always a deeper intent to people's hearts behind their faces. It can be good or bad. But one thing is for sure. Give them a piece of cake and they'll smile. Bring a bowl of hot soup, and they'll melt.

All I've done so far has further proved to me that there is one thing that binds humanity as one. Food, smiles, laughter, and memories. To me, that is the essential building blocks of relationships. And I'm going home to build them again.

20 minutes to boarding call. A visit to another of humanity's much needed spots and I'll be up in the air again. Now... where's the toilet...
