So It's Confirmed!

after months of endless planning and paranoia,
i've got my visa and all my flights are booked!

so this is what i'm doing this summer.

yeah i'm not coming back.

i *did* book a one way flight to the UK after all.

so anyway i decided to do something really different
cause i really didn't want to go home
and sit there doing nothing for 4 whole months.
it's nice and all, but seriously what am i going to do?

and when i graduate i'm never going to
get holidays and breaks all that much
so i'm determined to do it all while i can.

in ten days' time, i'll be flying to the US alone
to work in a summer camp as a camp counselor
for eight whole weeks (:

yeah i really *do* miss YF camps that much!
i'll be working in Michigan and
to me, the best bit is that it's a Christian camp.

then after that, i'll be doing a backpacking/camping
trip with some people whom i've never met before
from New York to Miami for two weeks.
(see map below!)


















yup, i'm going alone and i don't know who else is going.
but hey, isn't that the exciting bit?
and also, i came to UK alone so i dont think
US is going to be a far stretch.


and i think another great thing about this trip
is knowing that all the expenses are selfraised.
all that freaking hard work for the past three months
(and a few more after the trip) will be all
for the trip of a lifetime (:
so i won't feel guilty spending my parents' money.


anyway that's in ten days and before i go,
i still have to study for physiology/medical stats/
individual in society/ epidemiology/ OSCEs,

take two more papers for the exams,
move all my crap from my tiny room in halls
to my NEW house (yay!) but that's going to
be super hard work cause somehow i've bought
so much crap since i've been here,

and then buy all the things i need for US,
AND lastly pack for the US.


in ten days!!

i am *SO* excited!!!
(:

HEY you! Ditching malaysia for that awesome USA backpacking trip? Hmm, maybe should suggest some exotic ideas to parents too :)

Hmm, you take care and Facebook your very exciting trip! :) Don't talk to strangers as in people who want to give you a ride on the road, they may be serial killers. Shiverss. So stick to the pack and you'll be fine. Hotties are a guarantee just open your eyes, get their contacts and if they're Italian, pass them on to me :D

Take care loves!
:)
