I wanna go on a holiday... doesn't matter where, as long as I get to get out of Singapore... you know, just need to get away from it all, see some new stuff, stuff u don't usually get to see in Singapore..
I'm supposed to be studying for these 2 quizzes (stupid quizzes) for tomorrow... but here I am thinking and dreaming of where I would like to go... Theory of Relativity: the more you are trapped by the education system here, the more you wanna get out and get far far far away...
well anyway, I haven't really decided where to go and when... though it is quite likely that I will make a little trip down to Taiwan sometime in May... the prospect of getting out of Singapore is enticing enough, never mind that some people say going to a city place mostly populated by Chinese-speaking individuals will bring back memories of Singapore... hahaha...
but aside from that... I kind of got to thinking... about how they always say don't wait till you are ready then go travelling... cos it's quite likely that by the time you've earned enough for your travels, you're too "inertia-fied" or old or tied down to actually make the trip.. therefore, I have decided to start listing some places where I definitely wanna visit before I am... 30? (well I shall decide further on the exact age tomorrow after the pesky quizzes)
So the places are:
- Shaolin Temple in China => I reckon this is a must-do for every wushu enthusiast on this planet
- Estonia => Since I've never seen snow, might as well go as up north in Europe as I can to check it out and freeze my nose off... besides, got contacts there... hehe
- Finland => Hey it's just a ferry ride away from Estonia
- the Pyramids and River Nile in Egypt => hey we've been reading about mystical and awesome Egypt since Primary School... definitely a must see on my list
- Kanchanaburi, West Thailand => this is the state that borders Thailand and Myammar... Very rich in culture, in history, in natural scenary... been there once but since it was for a camp, we were mostly cooped up in the resort...
- Turkey => another country with such a distinct identity, so rich in history and religion...
hmmm... I think there are so many places more if I really sit down and think about it... better start planning my finances.. haha..
ah well.. this blog entry is mostly random thoughts.. but hey at least now I won't forget which are my must-see places in the near future.. =)
