Regret

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't keep a journal during my trips. Everytime I was on a trip, I would experience something that made me think I needed to capture that moment not only via camera, but in words too but I would either be too lazy to blog about it (I'm making it a point to share as little as possible about my life on Facebook because everything becomes too public, but maybe that's just me) or I wanted to tell someone about it, but there was no phone/internet connection or that person was just too lazy to layan me babbling about weird things.

My family went to Melaka and Johor during the Raya Haji break and currently I'm editing the photos. I know, kind of boring to you people but there were so many things I experienced there that I was just bursting to tell people about it, like, en-route to Muar, we stopped by at the Burger Segamat stall that holds too many of my Diploma memories but people won't get what I was trying to tell just by looking at the photo of the burger, which I uploaded on Instagram but no one likes it. Sad face.

A camera might capture the moment, but not the story behind it.

Oh and I don't get why people post all sorts of things on social networks (photos or status updates or tweets) if their holiday trip is oh-so-wonderful. I have a friend who posted about 10 status updates and countless photos on Facebook during a 4-day trip (because I'm a stalker like that) and it makes me wonder whether the trip was as fun as she claimed it was or maybe she was just trying to make people jealous or maybe the trip was a bore (and I vote the latter).

And hey, I'm speaking from experience, because I always post about things incessantly on social networks when I'm bored.
