in two weeks, i will have finished exactly eight weeks of internships. i think that’s quite enough for a long long time. and after this, i will have a long one month holiday to look forward to. i’m leaving for my first leg to penang the very first day after i end work, and then to shanghai, korea, and finally home (just in time for school). it will be the very first holiday i’d have taken in 2010, and i made sure that it would be one to remember.
penang from 17-20th july in a reprisal of 2008 (another epic holiday year comprising of hk, vietnam and penang). may the sequel turn out to be another gorge and slack fest. i practically walked around in my fbts and tshirts everyday. banjiangkueh, cendol and charkwayteow here i come!
shanghai from 21st july – 2nd august in a reprisal of 2009. it appears i’ve already missed the start of sale season noooooooo. but looking forward to the good food (generous helpings of oil and salt, to the chagrin of my long tortured arteries and to the glee of my tastebuds), expo 2010 (ready with my umbrella to fight off the hordes), and the general mood of being in a country much like yours, but away from the people you know.
korea from 2nd august – 10th august the country of famous sob operas and plastic surgery! i hope i don’t feel like some sort of deformed monster when i’m there amidst the silicon barbies. travelling with some of my favourite travel buddies – but of course let’s hope nobody will be singing a different tune when we come back (which shouldn’t be the case we’ve gone to enough places with one another).
on a side note, i hope i have enough clothes to last me a month. if not i guess the solution will be to buy more clothes when i’m on holiday, although i doubt the mother will be pleased when she hears of my plans.
here’s an apt song for my upcoming travels! i can’t wait 
am planning to arm myself with lots of cameras, medicine (in case i fall ill from travel fatigue) and may the excitement level remain up in the stratosphere!
unfortunately all the travelling also means that i may miss some farewells of those who are leaving for exchange in sem 1 
Let’s get out of this country
I’ll admit I am bored with me
I drowned my sorrows and slept around
When not in body at least in mind
We’ll find a cathedral city
You can convince me I am pretty
We’ll pick berries and recline
Let’s hit the road dear friend of mine
Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs
We’ll drive for miles maybe never turn off
We’ll find a cathedral city you can be handsome I’ll be pretty
What does this city have to offer me
Everyone else thinks it’s the bee’s knees
What does this city have to offer me?
I just can’t see
I just can’t see
Let’s get out of this country
I have been so unhappy
Smell the Jasmine my head was turned
I feel like getting confessional
We’ll find a cathedral city you can convince me I am pretty
What does this city have to offer me
Everyone else thinks it’s the bee’s knees
What does this city have to offer me
I just can’t see
I just can’t see
