This is created for me to share my experience of depending on myself for a very long time.

Oh, its also because i said i'd do this. Promises..have to keep them lah.


So Its Monday Night now..2 more days till i'm outta here!!

Outta Sin City.

I am sentimental and over the past few days, a victim of wave after wave of nostalgia.

But enough of looking back.

Last Friday(ok one last time!), Angeline(IMO the best person to talk football with) and I finally went to the Converse Fair at Tampines Mall to pick at what's left of the sale, and all the stuff we wanted were either gone, not in the right size or sold out. Monday's Good Stuff were No More! Lesson is, never wait 5 days to buy something from a sale. Anyway, we sat down at MacD's to talk for quite a while, and i said that i wanted to travel in the summer after i completed my 2nd year. Yep, the whole backpacking on a shoe string budget living in run down hostels across Europe thing. Then the magic words, or magic gist, or magic whatever which she said that got me really excited.

''Go To Euro 2008!!!''

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. How could I forget..

So much so that now, I am really aiming for that. And i even talked to Dad about it!! So its serious. Of course, he and mom did their fair share of traveling when they were studying overseas. Sounds like one big adventure. Well, i'm taking it a step at a time. My one big adventure begins in September.

Dad asked me about it in the car on Sunday when he took me to lunch at Muthu's Curry.

Dad: So, you ever thought of where you wanna travel to? Studying overseas, best time of your life. Go see the world.

Me: Yeah! I'm thinking of Austria/Switzerland in 2008.

Dad: What? Why?

Me: Cause the Euro championships are going to be held there.

Dad: Oh..(smirk) I see.

Me: And its going to be those backpacking trips, with a really small budget and the whole lost-in-translation thing thrown in as well.

(is it possible to be fluent in German within a short period of time?)

Dad: But if u go with us, you can stay in a nice hotel, good food...

Me: Uh Dad..the whole point of it is an adventure? Do stuff that deviates from the holiday norm?

Dad: Yes true. okay well..but don't travel alone. Best to go in Threes. (all right..heard it from the man himself)

I have 2 years to plan for this trip. Which means finding income..somewhere. and Saving. woo wee.

Now i need to find, able and willing backpacking buddies..

Book 2 years in advanced.

Hmm..Angeline? U Interested?
