Travel the World

One of my dreams is to travel the world. Sort of.

Hopefully, I can do it once I am older and perhaps wiser. Afterall, I have plenty of years ahead to fulfil this goal. The world can't end yet!

Europe is definitely a must. It will be my goal for University graduation, in about 3 years time, if everything goes right. I don't think backpacking is my idea of fun. A tour group sounds better and maybe I can do an extension. Of course, tour groups don't cover my favourite countries in one package and it can be too demanding for my tastes.

I like the slow-pace life. So the best way to travel Europe is free and easy. However, this means that I have to travel with a couple of friends and make sure we know our way around.

Scotland is another hot favourite of mine and I have pay tribute to it in previous posts. Maldives is a great place too. Perfect for a getaway.

Like my brothers said, why go on a vacation if you are planning of saving every bit of money? To me, the point of going overseas means you are financially well-managed and can afford small comforts like flying with a better air company and staying in comfortable accommodations. I am not even talking of 5-stars luxury hotels and flying first-class.

To go on a holidays means I have to save and I will gladly do so.

Of holidays & Scotland

Yes, I know I didn't have time to update on the last post about the Volturi pictures. Well, that's going to wait until I reach home on Monday.

Was packing for the TNS 3 day stay in school starting tomorrow. *Sighs* It's like leaving home. What a hassle! I'm the kind of person who have lots of toiletries to take along and must have this and that.

I'm taking a sling-bag of clothes and towel, a backpack for the other stuff and a laptop bag.

Went to Borders first and Kinokuiya at Orchard area with a friend. I cna't find the novel I'm looking for! I'm kind of disappointed in Borders. It let me down, again and again.

In the end, I did buy one of Lynn Kurland's novel. I'm thinking about whether I should just ask them to pre-order it for me. When I have the time in the next few weeks, I'll make a trip down again.

I didn't even have time for myself! I want to rant on it. It's the holidays, why am I having all sort of activities?! Holiday is for me to enjoy and to relax!

My idea of relaxing is to curl up with a nice novel, music wafting by, and maybe some ice-cream to go by. Add Autumn breeze and the smell of lovely country-side to that and I'll have the perfect vacation. Too bad, this is Singapore.

Can't wait to make a trip to the Scotland Highlands. All these books about the wilderness and wonderfulness of the Highlands makes me swoon. The native language too. Scotland has moved up in the place of "a must to visit" countries in my list. Europe remains the top destination to go. But maybe, just maybe, Scotland and England will be my destination to go to first. Afterall, the exchange-rate is better?

Will stop here now.
