What's going on?

So what has been happening with me since my last blog?

After coming back from my spectacular trips to Spain, Amsterdam and Paris I had to recalculate my budget for my remaining stay in London and for my future trips since I had realised how expensive travelling overall costs! I have put down a budget for all my other trips around Europe and U.S. and unfortunately I'm left with not much to spend in London. So! I've resorted to making sandwiches everyday for lunch, am working 1- 1 1/2hrs overtime everyday to make up for the days I'll take off to travel, am buying frozen foods for some of my dinners (this reminds me of the uni days) and I'm literally hiding at home on the weekends watching Bollywood movies that makes me cry my eyes out and Audrey Hepburn classic movies. I've been doing this for the last 2weeks now and it's so sad! There are times where I can't help it and join my friends in checking out things I've never tried before e.g. Roller Disco near Kings Cross St Pancras last Friday, Salsa classes every Thursday night at Bar Salsa, 100% Design Exhibition at Earl's Court a few weeks back and The Vegemite Tales theatre show last Saturday. It's a little hard for me at the moment but I believe it will be all worth it since my whole aim of my stay in London is to work, save and to be able to travel abroad. My living status in London is now CRAP but the holidays that I am saving up for will make up for it all!

It's all on a count down now- I have exactly 12weeks remaining in London before I'm off to Asia and then home!!! Time is moving way too quickly and I really don't know if I'm ready to move on yet. Though, responsibilities awaits at home and I soon need to face the reality again. London definitely offers you the pass to escape from reality and it certainly puts a stop on everything but YOU. You get to be selfish for once and just think for yourself and it's so interesting to see what mess and fun you can get yourself into. Surely at the same time it is helping me to grow as a person and understanding my own self a little more. It's so great to feel as though you're FREE TO FLY breaking away from all the pressures and responsbilities that comes with your life. Of course it can't last forever (and of course you start missing all the good things happening back home) but to at least experience this feeling once in a lifetime is just "pure bliss". Though, as the saying goes: Beautiful bliss, too beautiful to last....

Unfortunately, I won't be travelling to Burma anymore due to several reasons but have compromised myself to reach my goals in Vietnam instead whilst visiting my relatives again (since I promised my grandparents I will return after leaving London). It's all in the process right now. Naing, sadly enough this means I won't be seeing you, your family or Kyaikasan Paya anytime soon and it's very disappointing because I had made all these plans for when I'm there again however I hope to see you, your family and the kids once again maybe at the end of 2007. Fingers crossed. Hope you all are well and happy over there =)

Due to household conflicts, my room-mate moved out over a week ago. There was much tension in the flat for some time before things blew out of proportion and sadly it had resulted to this. By the end we had all wanted her out for the sake of a better and comfortable living standard within the place. What a stressful and "bitching" time it was all back then. Ouch and ugh! I guess everything happens for a reason and for the better I believe. Abraham had moved in earlier this week to be the 4th flatmate in the place and Annie switched over to my room to be my new (and happier) room-mate. As this English guy I met would put it- "Happy Days!"

Ok, time to Salsa away.

P.S. My workplace had offered me a Permanent role! I had to turn it down but instead I will work up until I leave for New York. Oh, and I got the pay rise ;)
