"And the Mountains in Reply" Trip or "Health Tourism" Trip, or "Aishah and Pras" Trip


Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing over the plains
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains:
Glooooo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria in excelsis Deo!

this Christmas I spent--or celebrated--it with friends. I went to Puntang to join Umi, Echi, Fitri, Indri, Lusi, Ifan, Jarir, and Hamok. We had fun cooking, eating, swimming in the ice cold river. we had fun reading too!

i finished some paragraph of The Malay Archipelago. And we had an interesting moment listening to the tale of Aishah and Pras. "Kamu kepanasan ya? Ayo buka kancingnya..." there goes the story. (and if you think it's an erotica, you guess wrong, Sem. This is a UN-sponsored book for sex education.)

Unfortunately, I fell ill on Christmas Day. I've never had this kind of embarassing sickness in my trips since August 1998! It was nice of Echi for the accu-pressure treatment, Umi for accompanying despite the nocturnal 'music' from our brave brother Hamok, and friends for cooking meals and hot drinks and the well-wish. I love their noisy company.

Fortunately, I recovered the next day. Hallelujah! Call it Christmas miracle

So which one should i pick to name the trip? Is it "And the Mountains in Reply" Trip or "Health Tourism" Trip, or "Aishah and Pras" Trip? :)
