blissful holidays

Talked with my roomies about our holiday plans last night. And we finally came up with the decision to go to Thailand. At least i THINK that was the final decision. I wanna go to Koh Sa Mui but i wanna go to Redang too. Annie's more in favour of thailand coz she's got loads of time in her hands and can afford to spend the time travelling and just going where the wind blows her. If only i had that luxury too. As we were talking, i told them of my plan to just take a year off and travel. To have no permanent address, no permanent job. Just staying in inns, working as a waitress in some fast food joint to get some money, and then taking off again once i've seen all of the place i'm in. The more we talked, the more i wanted to make this plan work. To work now and save money and then saying goodbye to malaysia and hello to some other country. Actually talked about doing a trans-siberian route to europe. How cool would that be? Just travel from malaysia to thailand then go north to India, then china, then russia, then turkey and finally east europe then the west. Just imagine the places i'd get to see and the people i'd get to meet. The sights, the sounds, the tastes... sounds like a perfect holiday. Just roughing it out.

I don't know when i started getting this urges to travel. I think it's because i've joined voices and travelled to so many countries with them. The 'want' to see new places has been planted there since phillipines i think. I try and think back to the past adn i can't remember ever having these plans to travel all over. I've never been the adventurous type to venture out alone and do stuff. But ever since voices, well, all i can say is that i'm a changed person. Now i just want to do and see everything! I mean, c'mon.. we only live once right? Right now, all i need is the dough.

Ed and i have plans to save money from now to travel to europe together. I hope that works out too :) The plan is to save money till he graduates, which would be in 2005, and then fly off to France, the first destination. His french speaking skills should be of help there :) And if we're still together, i'm going to make sure we go!

To be able to travel and just experience... bliss... to just live life one day at a time... heaven...
