Trips planning in 2011

Hi

First time blogging on my iPad , quite irritating actually with the keyboard so small, but I'm lying on my bed .... Haha lazybones me....

I do have a lot of leave to clear this year, within the last 2 months of the year actually..... It started off with me trying to accumulate for leave days for 1 big off period ... Like 2 weeks those kind, and then it got out of hand where i preferred tuning up for work rather than taking MCs..... And now I run the risk of leave days being burnt!.... How cool is that!~~

What's cooler is I've got 2 team mates with the same situation... So in the last 2 months, the team is practically at 75% capacity each day, but I haven't got what I wanted.... A long trip overseas....

Let's see, I went to Bali in April, phuket in may/June and Perth in july/ august, each lasting about 4-5 days, including the weekend, so didn't have to utilize much leave... Now it's too late to plan a Taiwan or shanghai/Mongolia trip even if I had 2 weeks off. The flights to shanghai (for snoozing in my aunt's place) is quite cheap in December at 500++, but does it make sense to go for 7-8 days? I'll probably be going for facials and detox and foot massages daily cos there's no one to travel with me ...shopping? The malls are way too expensive and the wholesale place is too dangerous*** imagine me a shopperholic in a wholesale cheap everything -you-can-get place***.... I've tried in and spent 1.5hrs getting a cab with the sunset descending......really scary in those places....

Taiwan seems a popular choice .... Super popular with some friends visiting it 3 times a year.... but no boring complains from anyone so far except for the raining weather..... I'm on a diet currently and visiting the food paradise could really ruin the strict diet I took 4 months to train up for..... But I plan on visiting it in February? End feb probably.... Again I sort of see myself touring around myself... Why do individual traveller's ticket cost so expensive...

I wanted to visit the euro region again, it's been almost 4 years since my exchange and 4 months of touring, memories not so fresh but still very alive , the scenery remains unchallenged in my vision, but new Zealand is a strong competitor, according to 2 pals..... I'll visit the eastern europe this time, poland, hungary, slot in south france and north germany, if budget allows , Finland and Sweden....... I see a cost of 6k.... Prob add another 2k........~~~~~~ there's a high chance I'll visit the states before going back euro though , travel from Canada down to western north America , I seem to be attracted to Alaska , the ice, sleds, huskies, snow, whiteness ,cold .... Oh by the way, I love the cold...traveling in the cold to see architecture, culture .... Makes me wanna go the Heilongjiang , but heard there's nothing there except for ice sculptures, mongolia sounds fantastic as well to visit my cousins in winter, heard they are masters of ice skiing and skating at 10 years old...
Ok ..... Yes USA and Canada, budget needed about 6 k for a 2 week? ... Hope my Sis and bro will be free in June to travel together? but who wants to go in summer!?!?!?!?, I'm a polar bear and my bro is big foot.... We MELT in the sun like seriously..... Ok see~~~ we need a plan for 2012....


Off the point, there something I'm getting used to, which my brother has already gotten used to...... Friends marriages..... It's weird to see friends (same age) getting married, some have kids.... New feeling to get used to and understand, well at least I have to understand cos I'm not one of those joining the lines..... Gatherings, 1 group careers, traveling, another group discussing about wedding packages, where to get the photoshoots, what type of banquets.... 2 distinct groups impossible to merge... So weird, terribly weird........ So eventually theres the couples group and the singles group, yep that's how a whole bunch of friends split into smaller closer buddies....Anyway for the first time in my life, my father actually mentioned the idea of getting hitched ..... I've heard friend complaining, wasn't that surprised but it sounded weird as well.....who doesn't wanna settle down if you can find the right companion, it's not human nature to live alone, I mean that's why eve was created in the first place.....

Anyway it's 2 am and I think one eye is getting groggy ... Or is it the LASIK I did has 1 eye already experiencing a degree up!!!!! I just did it 5 months ago, don't want to loose perfect eye sight before I even finish paying the installments..... Nitez my diary....

Wish me luck ....
