the addiction to travel

for those who have fallen in love with traveling, it can be quite a problem as it's like a lifetime addiction. the desire to explore places, taste different kinds of food and meet the locals. traveling opens one's eyes and lifts the soul, just throw all your troubles away and kick back for an adventure that's never the same.

taiwan is really a destination that beckons one to return, and the fun only gets better when you travel with friends from those crazy rebellious secondary school days. the ten days away was hectic i tell you, with less than six hours of sleep a day, we trashed the weather and walk like crazy people.

getting together and taking a holiday trip together after not hanging out for nearly three years seems like the ideal plan to strengthen our bonds before we get enlisted. afterall friendship never fades and the time spent holidaying was indeed nothing dramatic but all the same special to me.

i felt kinda depress as the plane left hong kong for singapore, it's as though an amazing journey, a dream has come to an end. like all good things will somehow come to an ending. ahhh how depressing and what's even more depressing is that we'll be enlistning soon. my physical self is here but my heart and soul are overseas.

somehow it feels like a parting of ways, the prospect of serving the nation is certainly a really major chapter as it changes many things. i feel that even going away for further studies is less of a pain. suddenly the situation becomes one of uncertainty, some will begin working while others are preparing to leave the country for studies.

i wonder what will happen, once we were together sharing almost similar days of school and play. ahhh but the feeling of get togethers after what seems like many moons later is something heartwarming and i look forward to them.
