went down to the student's travel accommodation to make my final payment for the trip. and my oh my! can you believe my trip amounted to more than S$2000? i believe my entire savings will be wiped out when im back. that's really tragic if you think about it. all your life, all your years, all your months, you have been slogging and working REALLY hard; ploughing the fields and racking your brains. over one and the half months, your money just goes down the drain? why? its entirely because you want to travel and sight see. if you think about it, is it REALLY worth it?

hahaha! but i shant care much for now. it has been my dream to see europe! wanna go, i wanna go and i'm can't keep the excitement to myself. hahaa! thats why there's so much rattling about going overseas, stuff like that here. i'm just really excited lah can haha! after all, it is my first time travelling without my family, and it is my first time making plans for myself, learning to take care of my belongings, assuming some sort of responsibility and independence. you get my drift? i am deprived. muahahha.

im probably most excited to go to London and Italy!
can you believe liz and i are intending to visit the SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE THEATRE? hahaha! SHAKESPEARE of all people? after all the cursing and swearing, i am going to pay tribute to the dead man. i'm going there to find out why ive done so badly for my shakespearian module. maybe i'll be filled with new insights. maybe i'll become more literary. now, what is the probability of that? you do the math.
imagine my disdain for shakespeare in singapore. how ironic is it when i actually WANT to go to England to visit Shakespeare's theatre? hahaa!

apart from that, im can't wait to go to the speaker's corner in hyde park as well. i remembered learning about the existence of the speaker's corner in sec 2 or 3 when my english teacher made my class sit around a small circle in front of the art room to listen to presentations after presentations. haha! and i remembered doing two speeches all the time- one for myself and one for val. (we always trade homework. she would usually do my reading reviews for me) the following year, i even wrote something on 'what is war', and my english teacher actually chose it for some competition thing! erm but i cant remember why i didnt participate in the competition eventually. hahaa! was i kicked out or something? nevertheless...
i WILL be going to the real speaker's corner soon. it's like a dream come true. told myself i have to visit it someday since fourteen.

what else? lots and lots more. the london eye, the thames river, fish and chips, mr bean and the police. oh my gosh. its so exciting.
i have never looked forward to an event as much this. i am so thankful for this opportunity.
but on the duller side, for all you nus students out there,
the results will be released on 27 May. I darent check them, to be quite honest.

haha, but thats when i can officially say- so much for taking a keen interest in www.shakespeares-globe.org when i got a D for my shakespeare module.

*p.s.: this blog is set up for easy travel updates. in fact, this is for that sole purpose. so, do stay tune if you want to know how i'll be coping in europe next month! :) ciao!
