Jealous. So so jealous.

I blame it on uni.Time: 7/20/2006 05:10:00 PM
I have been so preoccupied with trying to save money before my school starts, I have neglected my one true love, travelling!!!
ARGH!!!
I really love travelling.
I mean, I may not have done much of it but when I do, I do enjoy myself to the max...
I have had lots of offers from friends to go diving with them in the beaches of Phuket or Redang.
Or go laze around on the beaches of Batam or Bali.
Or shopping in sunny Bangkok or Hong Kong.
Go backpacking in the snowy regions of Japan.
Or spend a week relaxing in Perth.
But, sigh... I have to turn them down.
All to save money for myself...
If only I was super thick-skinned to use my parents' money... (I'm jealous, so bite me... rich SOBs)
And I hate holidaying with family.
My parents' idea of a holiday is heading down to JB.
And we do that almost every weekend!!!
ARGH!!!!
I'm sick of Malaysia (pardon me Malaysians, but I really have to say this).
I'm sick of JB. I'm sick of KL.
My parents had to drag me down to JB just last weekend.
I had a black face throughout the entire trip...
I made a promise to myself never to step into the country until I go to another country.
Any country!
I love Malaysia, I do. But I'm sick of heading there to 'unwind', dammit.
If I'm lucky, we'll head down to Jakarta, Indonesia.
But I'm sick of it too...
ARGH!!!
My mum is so fussy when it comes to food and lodging (hence the 'Malay' countries).
And she's always making excuses that this country is not safe and stuff ( So, no Thailand, Cambodia or India... Now add Indonesia to the list).
Bombings, natural disasters, political and ethnic tensions (all the excuses in the world...)
She'll start snapping when I suggest other countires to travel to and then proceed to tell me a recent (often made-up) disaster in the country.
Furthermore, with my parents, shopping is always taking up most of the itinerary and lying on the beach or soaking in the country's culture are hardly their ideas for a holiday (So, no Bali, add the bombings excuse, and no Phuket, add the tsunami excuse too...)
And my parents are really cheap when it comes to holidaying (hence no Europe, US, Dubai or wadeva)...
So the closest I have come to a 'cold' country was Taiwan and that was thanks to Army (I loved my time there).
For a 20 year old, I admit (on my blog, for the world to see, and I'm embarrassed by this) that I have never seen snow, like in, 'live', in the 'flesh' or wadeva you use for snow.
I know some of you readers from countries blessed with the 4 seasons are probably going, "WHAT??!!"
Yes, I have never seen snow.
And one of these days, I hope to eventually see those beautiful white landscapes you see on postcards, catch a snowflake on my tongue, have snowball fights or make snow angels (all the cliche stuff you see white kids do on TV)
And one thing which really makes me jealous more than anything else in the world is seeing people putting pictures of themselves in faraway exotic lands on their Friendster or MSN.
Korea, Dubai, Japan, France, Australia or the States.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!
I am so jealous!!!!
And here I am looking at their pictures on my computer in my home in sunny dull Singapore!
But nothing takes the cake like this dude here.
Its called 'Where the Hell is Matt?'
He's is so funny. Duncha think?
And there is a Part 2, ya know.
Kinda makes me wonder, "Where the Hell did he get the money from?"
I am still so inspired whenever I see this video.
I can't help but to dream of being a Matt (not a mat, hor)
I want to travel the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But why must it be so expensive??????????????
Stupid stupid broke me...
Say what you want, call me bratty, whinny or wadeva.
I don't care.
I want to go jet-setting around the globe one day.
I want to shop in Rodeo Drive, NOT Orchard Road.
I want to scuba dive in the Maldives, NOT Sentosa.
I want to catch a show in the Sydney Opera House, NOT in LIDO...
And I want to see all the seven wonders of the world...
Lastly, I want to visit Ground Zero in the US, on my birthday (if you think I'm weird, just so you know, my birthdate also happens to be September 11th, hence the 911 in my email)...
I will travel the world one day. Alone, if I have too.
Mark. My. Words.
