Update!

Let me apologize for the long no-update period! It's finally the Great Singapore Sale and I have been rather busy looking for affordable but good buys for my trip. I'm looking for long-sleeved tops, leggings, jeans, socks, and of course, a daypack. I'm willing to pay for a good and sustainable bag. When I buy one, I'll put a picture here. ^^

So far, I have gotten my Emirates flight to London, I think I mentioned that. Next up is to purchase my rail pass. I'm still planning on which pass to get. I want to reroute. I need to. There are some places I'd like to extend my stay in, like France for example. My friend Julie from Nice is open to let me stay in Nice for a week or more, and she says there are many things to do, and in Nice alone! I'm so excited. :) I'll definitely have to reroute.

Today is a public holiday in Singapore. It's Vesak Day. Happy Vesak Day to all those who rejoice this day. ;)

Me, Myself and I

25 days since my last update. And within these few weeks, I've received news that Pooja will be unable to go with me. She can only go for a guided tour with the likes of Contiki or Topdeck. I really don't know what to say, but I think I'll know what to do. Once again, don't rely on anybody else to make your dreams come true. You don't know how much it hurts to be disappointed again and again, over the same things. I'll take my own flight, find my own way around the train station, wake up alone in a rugged hostel, struggle to order a chocolate eclair in the middle of Prague and then sit down it the corner of the cafe as I people watch and wonder how I go there in the first place. Is anyone with me? No. Did anyone help me get where I am? No(t really). The only people I'd have to thank is my parents for sponsoring my ticket to and from London. 

Never, ever rely on anyone. You don't have to. If they say no, you'll do it anyway if it's what you really want. Because no one can and will stop you. This is your dream. You decide if you want to make it a reality. No one else.

Like I said, it was my original plan to go alone. Going with someone else is just a little bonus, whose offer I can reject anytime. If it comes, it comes. If someone can go with me, it's okay. But if I'm going alone, I am going alone. It's not that scary. I'm a big girl. I know what to do. So what if I'm going alone? I'm going to Europe. :)
