Tuesday, May 1, 2007    Fancy backpacking around the streets of Europe and see the historical sights and enjoy the breathtaking sceneries there? What about a walk along Times Square New York and immensing in the buzz of the active city befoe taking a nice stroll in Central Park? Well, I DO! Obviously, since i have a soft spot for England, the first destination if i had the chance to travel the world would be my beloved London. But it's not only Europe that i want to see. Australia, USA, India, China, Thailand, Africa are also places i want to go and experience their way of life. It seems really interesting to meet people of different backgrounds and cultures and learn about their history and traditions - far from the mundane and still-in-the-midst-of-developing boring culture of Singapore. Living in motels with other backpackers is also a good idea - an excellent way of meeting new friends. Oh my God, the thought of doing all that is making me scream "AHHH...! I wanna pack my bag and leave!!!" ha...  I just saw "Under The Tuscan Sun" (starring Diane Lane) in which her character, Frances, packs her bags and leave for Tuscany, Italy after a terrible divorce. Once there, she impulsively buys down a run-down villa, plunging herself into a life-changing experience in which she makes new friends and forms new romance. While the movie is bland, it provides the captivating idea of doing something so spontaneous. Certainly something i don't mind experiencing too (except for the divorce ha). Conservative and rule/law-abiding as I have always been (shaped by the kiasee/kiasu cuture of Singaporeans), I find myself unable to do thing spontaneously and i HATE that. There's always a voice in my head that will go "no... that's super embarrassing" or "think carefully... money/time is precious... don't waste your time on such trivial wants". If one day i pack up and leave for a much-anticipated travel trip, don't find it shocking cause i don't think i can resist this urge for long. Ha... Well, that still wouldn't happen in the next 2 years since i'm not rich enough to do so and i don't think my parents would allow (since i am still a little boy to them... and i know... i will ALWAYS be the LITTLE BOY) haiz... Never mind, at least i know this is an achieveable dream and i must work hard to make money to realise this childhood dream. Wish me all the best! ha music.city.soul || 11:12 AM || 0 comments |
