work is piling up...

hmmm, dont seem to be having the time to constantly come online to blog, either that or i am simply lazy...=(

work-wise, it's definitely picking up - in terms of workload as well as the number of responsibilities, which definitely suits me more. guess that being a fresh graduate, i wont mind having lots of work thrown at me, at least it's a way to trying to justify my existence as well as an opportunity to prove my worth in an environment where the presence of the 'scholars' severely distorts the playing field.
cant mention any details as yet, but apparently one of the bosses have rather high regards of my work so far. and supposedly if i were to stay on my feet and not get big-headed (in the process changing his opinions), i should have the opportunity to travel quite a bit while staffing this boss. fingers-crossed on that.

17 days of leave entitlement for the rest of this year. 5 days to be set aside for the trip to taiwan at the end of july (which is already confirmed). another 2 days for a possible trip to sri lanka to visit chaminda at the end of next month (wonder if its a good idea after all -sri lanka is still in the midst of a civil war and car bombings in public are never out of the news. besides, is there even anything to see? hahaha. lots of questions. but the opportunity to travel for a mere 248 bucks is tempting. very tempting).
that leaves me with another 10 days for this year. wahhh. shall i just bonk everything down on another trip somewhere at the end of the year? hmmm. australia will be having summer, taiwan (the southern part) will be cool and nice. =)
whoa. almost forgotten. maybe i should just svae some leave for my backpacking trip to eastern europe next year. hahaha. so many plans, so little ammunition (mooolah)...

an 'itch'

been having a uncomfortable 'itch' these days. a travelling itch, that is.

been wondering why am i feeling this day? after all, i've had my share of fun when i was in europe for 2 years. then it dawned on me that it's exactly why i am feeling this way this very month. i've remembered writing in this blog sometime before, that i can just buy a ticket and then hop onto a train/plane to some unexploited territory whenever i feel like doing do.
however, now that i am back in singapore, this habit of mine has not changed a bit. i've been looking for chances to do my travelling (nope, the past natas fair didnt help a bit). only problem is that it's a lot harder and expensive to do so when i am in singapore.

been to bintan last week (yup, the skin on my back is flaking off now, no thanks to my stubborn-ness), had plans to go climb a mountain in malaysia (no confirmed plans yet) and had my tickets to taiwan in july booked. yet i am still toying with the idea of squeezing something in in the months of april/may or june...hahahah. oh, forgot to mention this, planning for my 'last' big trip - a 3-4 weeks backpacking trip to eastern europe next year! interested parties, pls register your intent with me.
