Today's an affirmation of a saying that I have believed in ever since Arki Con in uni y2. The story in which Florian told us "good things must wait".

I've waited for my solo trip and watched the prices go up and up and up, as well as supposed travel buddies come and go due to various reasons. But what started as a solo trip, eventually becomes a solo trip and will end as a solo trip. Maybe the only person I'll meet there is Marissa.

Anyway, I finally booked my plane tickets today. SIA had an offer. How rare is that. So the prices from 1,124 dropped to 691. When I found out about it on Thursday, I was the world's happiest kid. So yea folks. Good things must wait, be it furniture, plane tickets or life.

hi december,
i'm starting you off with new icons, so please be nice to me and bring about interesting changes and events.

I wrote an epicly long entry yesterday, only to privatise it to myself once again. It was on the Internet for a good 12 hours (I think) before I privatised it this morning. I guess I'm just not too comfortable with it being out there.

Anyway, a brief summary of it: I've come to terms with myself and I think I'm happy with the way I am. I'm not gonna change my Darth Vader outlook (note: outlook, not personality) to Sunshine Barbie.

But here's an update (and a to-do list, of course, I'm such a sucker for lists) on that Lonely-Planet trip I'm taking. Honestly, I'm convinced that I'm running away from something that I don't want to admit to myself. Truth be told, I know what I'm running away from and I hope this trip helps me come to terms with it.

LONELY PLANET TO DO:
1. Apply for leave dates
2. Firm up itinerary - can be done soon I think
3. Buy plane tickets - okay, i think i shd do this soon coz the tix price just went up
4. Book accommodation
5. Buy travel insurance
6. Book tickets for performances
7. Check out whether there are any musicals going on and book tickets for any that I'm keen on going - catch me if you can! YESSAH. oh hey, elizabeth too!!!
8. Do up a list of things I wanna buy and ask friends if they want anything
9. Pack bags
10. Buy a diary to act as a travelogue and sketch pens (polaroid camera too, maybe)
11. GET PSYCHED FOR THE TRIP. :D

I think it's time I stopped only talking about taking that solo trip and start putting it into action. I've counted my leave dates and I do have enough. So lonely-planet adventures, here I come. :D

The world kept moving on; I alone was at a standstill.

just one simple thing and yet, you couldn't do it?
