So bloke, how has your holidays been? Mine has been unbelievably inviting, of course. I'll be making my way to GuangZhou on friday and no doubt I'll ensure I splash myself wholely into the spirit of holiday-making. With the day rolling nearer, this excitement inside me is damn well swelling, gonna burst soon. Hah. Many thanks to Dad who has especially made the plans to suit my taste. A little prelude to what my travel itinerary offers : shopping, an essential in every vacation, and the thing that is the main driver to a fulfilling time there is going on a climb on the White Cloud mountain. How very dandy is that. One wonders what GuangZhou will hold out for me. Roasted pig, chicken or pork? Hahaha. Food remains the number one hot potato I guess. Hope finding a cosy, nice place for a meal after an exhausting day out will be made easy. Good food pipes one up. And probably I would be lugging home 2 travel baggage instead of 1. Because that means I'll be doing lots of shopping and getting way too much stuff for my luggage to accomodate. Yes, I'm gonna make sure Dad buys me infinite items and he won't restrict me to a budget. May luck be with me on this trip. For once, I'm flying overseas without sis and bro. You can bet how much I want them to be around. At least, when they're with me, we'll be yammering non-stop all day long. Lots to talk about, lot of fun times together. So Bro's packing off and away to NS tomorrow while Sis still has got attachment duty to attend to. Part and parcel of growing up, I think. People surrounding you just lose that 'magnetism' and go on their own ways, leading lives the way they want.

Will be sending off bro to Pulau Tekong tomorrow for his BMT stint. Mum keeps giving bro advices on how to take care of himself since last month despite her being an SAF officer and should understand that one ought to stand on one's feet and backbone one day. But nevertheless, that's what parents are there for - support. I find myself whenever Mum starts rattling off about tough NS days ahead, telling her that bro will come out a better and mature person - He'll near 21 soon after that. Naturally NS grills one's character question.

Anyway, a peek into life story again. Saw Amelia today in the MRT heading for SengKang with a few of my Primary School friends. Heheh. So I'm actually supposed to go out with the 3 of them - including Cheryl and Melissa - tomorrow, to bring Amelia to get the MaryJane bag. But assessing current conditions, this doesn't seem favourable since I've gotta be present for bro's send-off. So sorry mate, I'll bring you there next time! Or you can just walk around Far East with Cheryl and Melissa to look out for the bag. Just give me a ring if you encounter troubles locating the shop. And lastly, if anyone has any request to want me to help you purchase anything, mementoes or souvenirs for keepsake purposes, do inform me lar. I'll put in my best to get everyone a gift. If it's possible, that is. I haven't any idea what gifts and souvenirs GuangZhou provides. I'll nick some toothbrush sets from the airplane if I return home empty-handed for all. At least that serves as a souvenir right?

One evolves stronger amidst challenges.
