I miss Travelling!

August is here – seven months has passed for Year 2013. Time really flies. These seven months had been stressful and dull. Not much of a personal life, no overseas trips. Due to the current project I am working on, I am not able to travel overseas (even to Malaysia) for one year. I've got to stay contactable for 24/7. Remembering last National Day, I took my last long well-deserved flight to Vancouver with Random W and BFF W to look for Random Ad. An almost two-week break before the project kicked start in late September. I wish I can fly right now! 

I desperately need a break – a long well-deserved (at least I think I deserve it) break, away from Singapore, away from office, away from work. Not a long one, but I am looking forward to the short Bali trip (that is in the process of planning) in end October. I want to sit in an aeroplane and fly to somewhere, just to relax (oh, it’s hard when there are many activities in place) and enjoy myself. I just want to stay non-contactable – technology has indirectly making us work more than we should be doing. I know is hard as we will tend to surf the internet and get hook to social media to update our lives or see updates of our friends. I remembered my previous trip to Ho Chi Minh. My sim card got locked and I was not able to use it. Thus, I was being ‘forced’ to de-tech for the five days. Instead of feeling lost, I actually felt great - Able to enjoy every second in HCM instead of spending some in the technology world. 

I guess I am working to earn my travel fare so that I can travel out to enjoy my life, to experience the different cultures, to see the things we do not get to see in Singapore. Not that I do not enjoy life in Singapore, not that I have visited the whole of Singapore. But I guess, the cheap thrill of taking the aeroplane, flying above the clouds and holding on to a different currency made a difference. Oh well, but the “staying away from the family and the comfortable bed” still make me feel homesick. Ad well, I get to appreciate Singapore more when I’m home after a long overseas trip. I still love Singapore after all! I  DEEPLY miss travelling!
