I used to look up into the sky when i was in tekong.
Now that i'm actually above the clouds,
it really brings me a sense of joy.
120909 Saturday 2243hrs
Apparently,
i'm at the domestic airport too damn early.
Wasted! Could've went to the city
or king's park or the casino with francois.
Anyways,
it has been friggin awesome so far.
Endured blistering cold wind,
getting lost and finding my way back,
seeing the world in another point of view.
130909 Sunday 0807hrs local
Here i am,
sitting on a bench outside a grocery store
waiting for my bro.
This is sydney.
I love it.
The weather's so damn great.
There's this guy sitting beside me right now,
he's drunk and trying to talk to me.
I don't understand a shit he says mate.
On the other hand,
there's this hot girl on my left....
she'll probably think i'm some stupid asian dude
if i ask her for her number.

What to do next?
Past couple of days i've seen too much.
But now, i'm sitting down in macdonals
with about 5 maps on the table.
Whats next?
180909 Friday 2120hrs
This is it.
1 week of adventure is coming to an end.
Time really flies.
Wish i could stay there
and live a life like him.
Everyday is unpredictable,
filled with different situations.
I want to be out there,
independent and out of the comfort zone.
Out of the daily routine
which travels in a circle,
back at home in singapore.
I get what i mean.
I've learnt stuff i could never have gained in singapore.
saw a differnt side of the world.
Strange people, desperate people, people with aspirations, people without.
All in all, i discovered what i truly want to do with my life.
Adventure.
I wanna be out there, drifting, travelling constantly,
meeting new people, seeing new stuff.
Working holiday huh.
Thats what my couz did.
Travelling the globe,
working odd jobs to save money for the next trip.
Pretty wicked.
Oh by the way i'm on the plane back home now.
For the records, i got this incredible seat!
Although the baby's noisy but its all cool.
Alot is going through my mind right now.
I just hope i'll clear the custom smoothly.

Could've done alot more things.
Alot of unforseen unprecedented complications.
But i learnt many things about travelling alone.
I'm going to backpack europe before 25,
North America before 29.
But before that,
i need to buy a proper backpacker's bag.
Can't possible carry my army fieldpack walking around like that again.
I have to establish myself soon,
get the right skills
and then i can enter the top animation industry.
Its good to think far.
But first, i'm going to be stuck in army for another 1 year 8 months.
