Sigh
When I read travel blogs of friends who are overseas, I can't help but feel envious that I'm not there, or in some exotic places I wish I could be right now, just enjoying the cold (or heat in the Southern Hemisphere).
And everytime I look through the photos taken in the States, I feel a tinge of pain in my heart cuz I can never relive those moments again. I miss those times an awful lot, although I remember I was missing home and everyone an awful lot too.
I do not just miss the States, I also miss Redang. Seeing the 6 baby sharks circling under me was as good as seeing the space shuttle launch. I need a tan.
I haven't travelled to a lot of places, and most of the travelling I did was before my little sis was born, so I don't really remember the trips anyway.
There was Beijing and Hainan and I swear I'll never go to Hainan ever again unless there's a need to. Had a severe case of gastric flu that gave me a jab in my ass and that was the most unforgettable thing that ever happened in China.
Queensland and Gold Coast in the winter wasn't fun. I remember the empty beach and dull grey sky. Sea World. Movie World. Gigantic pineapple tower. Nougats. I want to visit Australia in the summer some time.
Bangkok. Bought my first pair of Nikes. Can't remember much of the trip.
Taipei right after the States. Was already suffering from over-travelling. And the sign of over-travelling is the non-interest to wake up early to go explore places. There was a day where everyone just slept till 2pm and we had to drag one another out of the hotel. So that was a pretty wasted stopover.
(WTF a cat just strolled past my flat and we stared at each other. Raised my head to ask what's up without speaking and it just stared at me. Weird moment. It went on its way to wherever its going. )
I hope Bangkok happens this July. Tickets are booked, but who knows what might happen to prevent it from becoming a reality. Read the papers that there're Thai students protesting outside the Singapore Embassy in Thailand. WTH. This reminds me I haven't had Thaksin Beef Noodle for awhile.
AAHH.. I WANT A HOLIDAY. NOOOOOW.
Somebody, bring me back to those great times.
If I can turn back time.. I'll turn it back to Secondary school. I don't mind reliving the days of A Maths, Physics and Chemistry and seeing those upper sec chao ah lians, I don't mind reliving the days of Maths C, ogling at gay, and mugging in school till we have to climb the school gate to go home. I don't mind at all. I want to be 13 again.
Then maybe, I'll be able to change my own fate by doing things differently. I can make decisions that could change my entire life. Maybe I won't end up typing this entry or being the person I am today.
Ok, I should stop harping on the past and live today for tomorrow. I shall go sleep soon.
