The worst holiday i have ever had

I was looking forward to a wonderful holiday in the countryside with my aunt,cousins,grandparents. They lived in an old colonial bungalow that used to be the estate manager's bungalow during great granddad's days.

Dad sent me to the station to catch the train to Batu Gajah. The train ride was slow and boring and I was glad to get off the station.

My cousin, Dinesh, was there to pick me up in my uncle's Mazda Biante. As we turned up the driveway, memories of chilhood play and many weddings came rushing down memory lane. As we reached the porch, it was almost like all those Tamil movie where the city slicker arrives to the doting eyes of the country relatives. Grandma was first in the long list of forehead kissers who gushed at my appearance. Lunch followed by a bunch of gossip and catching up ran into tea and vadais and curry puffs. That evening was spent touring the small town and dinner was a lavish affair. Aunt dished out the best crab curry in the world. We sat in the large verandah that night, with grandma trying my hair in braids playfully and listening to some old Tamil song. (nenanenaneananenaneanenaen)

We slept late that night as secrets and ghost story told. As i drifted off to sleep later, my dreams were all about the crab curry and some food i ate just now. The next morning, i decided to go for a job before breakfast and left early without telling the sleepy brood. I worked up a sweat not realising that there was a motorcycle coming fast around the bend with no lights. The rider was off to the rubber plantations and dint think of running to a city girl in tights and linkin park t-shirt. I went flying into the bushes as i heard a crack. I woke up in a hospital witha fractured leg and bruises. The doctor said that i would have to transferred back to the Ipoh General Hospital as they dont have the parts. Parts? It seems that i would have a metal plate and four screws.I spend the next two weeks trussed up in orthopaedics. The pain and the immobility made this the worst holiday ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
