I say, loosen the reign

I just told my brother my wild ambition of travelling to somewhere in Europe before I turn 21. Albeit his blunt reply, it is very true.

Brother: You seems to enjoy travelling a lot, always planning to go somewhere.

Me: Erhmm, yah!

It has been something that I refuse to admit but subconsciously, that bud is starting to sprout, and with every intention to bloom...

It's not something that is bad but its appears to be that case for my folks. The idea of a holiday for my traditional folks is a break only after you have worked long and hard. Then you go travelling with any excess allowance you have. They do not approve of me working long and hard just to go travelling, exhausting every last penny in my pocket.

But I'm still young and not tied down by any responsibilities so I have the rights to enjoy every last penny of my hard-earned money, right?!

There are too many a times when their conventional thinking had me tied down. I want so much to rebutt but they're my folks afterall. How far can I push my thoughts across without them getting mad at me and me getting exasperated!

How I wish I can make they comprehend the thrill of stepping foot in an entirely new place with so much to explore. The diverse people, the marvellous food, the rich history, the culture, the language, the architecture, the nature and what else have I missed out?!?

The world is so big that even if I start now, I won't be able to mark my footprint across. Whatmore if I were to wait till I am older, with more responsibilities to tie me down. It will be even harder to get me moving..

Just one more day till April commence, the pages on the calendar flips by too quickly.. I gave myself a month break and the deadline is almost over but without any other plans on hand, it looks like I am going to extend it further.

Results are out and I would say it is the best results over the past years, nonetheless my overall GPA still sucks.

I'm starting to feel really frustrated with myself because I don't seems to be doing anything much. And I meant thinking about my future.. Or I should say, I think a lot but I'm not making any effort to do anything. Now that I'm feeling the pressure, I've just printed the kaplan application form but I don't even know when the deadline is.

And all it seems that I have on hand is how to have fun for april and then may... I'm feeling really uneasy now because I don't want to waste anymore time but I don't know what step to take next. I'm also tired of my dad pushing his idealistic ideas on me. Besides everyone else around seemed to have planned their life and know what they're doing next.

All I have is a thousand things jumbled in my brain and I'm just weighing and eliminating furtile choices. I'm so vexed I don't even know what to say already..

Back from Bangkok, safe and sound.

After 5 days of gorging, I had a really light lunch this afternoon,vegetable soup and steamed tofu. I need to drink my tea to detox later and clear my bowels.

Alas, it was a good break and I came back feeling satisfied with all my loots. I am definitely a few hundred bucks poorer but I am a thousand times happier :)))

Now, its time to unpack those lovelies in my luggage. Oh and make space for them, I still have clothes in the vacuum bags from the states. I hope my wardrobe will magically make space for more clothes :))))

with loves

peis :)

Third day without mom at home, I am still going strong and steady.

Did laundry last night and am damn proud of myself.

Heading out in a bit so I think today will pass by quick enough.

Counting down begins till she comes home...

Mom's catching a flight out to Korea tonight whereby she will bask in the chilly weather in Seoul and Jeju Island. I'm really envious and I can't help but feel really sad about the fact that my mom is not going to be around for a week.

I think I can relate to how she felt the night when I was leaving for six months. It's really upsetting.. What more I will be leaving for Bangkok a day after her return. What bad timing..

Oh well, I believe a week will breeze by pretty quickly so I just got to occupy myself with a lot of things to do so time will go by faster and I won't miss her that much. I have been camping in front of The Box at certain timing either watching the drama unfolds or watching those travel shows.

I want to go to Europe so badly, Rome and Venice especially. Even went to the extent of borrowing a traveller's guide about Rome; complete history and brief of Rome as well as the must go places.

oh my, I think I'm insane. But I look forward to Bangkok though, coming up in a week. Then hopefully my hopes of going Perth will materialize as well !!

Bye y'all!!

So the past four days saw me at Suntec City working for a career and education fair. A fairly easy job and a little moolah into my pocket, so that is good. It makes me less guilty to be lazing at home all day today, watching TV and surfing the net.

So I did a little shopping for my future around the booths during my break. Brought home a small stack of brochures and leaflet about all the degree and majors which I can see myself doing.

I've laid out a couple of options like Marketing, Public Relations or Hospitality but I hesitate at the idea of a hospitality degree. I'm also skeptical about the idea of acquiring a degree (with two majors, at that) in a year and a half. It sound a lot like skimming the surface.. But a degree in less than two years is so tempting!! Local degree are like four years but its of Hons standing. But FOUR YEARS!! I don't know if I'm ready for another four years of commitment. Well, that is if I can even get a slot. What's with Hwa Chong and Raffles kids having straight distinctions and As. ermm... cool shit.

So stressful thinking about it! Maybe I should stick to planning my bangkok's itinerary! Then think of ways to earn more moolah and source for ad-hoc jobs so I can go somewhere further!

that's all I have today! Goodbye! :)

I'm here today with a generous bit of pictures since my blog have been short of nothing but my lengthy grudges about schools for the past couple of months.

Guess who!?!?!

burn, paper burn!!

Ben has been waiting very long for this moment!

Goodbye NYP!!

Dinner at Mayim, Northpoint

I really like dining in this restaurant because they serve a very extensive range of food items, all at a very very affordable price. Also, I appreciate the attention they pay to the table-setting and the crockery used for a more holistic dining atmosphere. It's a pity that the management overlooked the fact that competent and service-oriented staffs are equally important.

But Ron Kauffman had once raised a thought about whether we think that good food can overcome the challenge of poor service and encourage repeat patronage. Well well, its all up to individuals I guess. However Mayim did have me coming back for more, despite the fact that I'm pretty radical about service.

(omg, why does this feel like a CRM report analysis. kay, I should shutup)

seriously lor, this two!

my sexy red car.

Alright! That's all I have for today!

BUAIII
