I’ve Found Them…

I’ve made up my mind at the 13th hour to go on a getaway trip. A trip to somewhere alone. A non-subsidized or sponsored trip.

The destination?

Singapore.

I booked my air tickets online after comparing between Air Asia and Tiger Airways. I managed to get the ticket despite of the usual, expected crowd during this time of the year to Singapore. I was lucky enough to have friends in Singapore and the best part was they were around during this festive celebration.

So, what made me purchased the air tickets impulsively and traveled alone? (I went against my parents. They were worried sick about me) Even though Singapore is just a stone throw away; over the river, but I have never traveled to anywhere alone (except for to Sydney for studies) before.

I was pretty head strong about it. I went still.

I needed it. I explained to my parents. It was the relationship factor and my work stress at that juncture. It went up to my neck. A going-to-burst-balloon.

I went to Singapore to search for some answers. Answers to my life. I thought it would be as if a needle in the haystack......

I was lost for the past few months. Lost of directions and lost the purpose in life (not talking about ending my own life here. I love my life). I just didn’t know what to do or what I wanted in life.

I know God knew my reasons for flying to Singapore alone. He was kind to me. He granted my wish.

When I visited the Discovery Centre of Singapore, I was led to this section of the exhibition hall. Somehow, something drew my attention to these boxes.

I have been thinking about it thereafter. I knew my answers. It was right in front of me; just that I didn’t want to see them or rather accept them back then. Till now......

Now, I know what I want to achieve; what I want to do.

I will spend my time with my family and Princess Gabby. Giving them more of my love and care. My parents who brought me up the right way and love me for whom I am. They’ve always been very supportive with their unconditional love. As for Princess Gabby, simply because she always make me smile and laugh with her silly acts and cheekiness. She was there for me when I needed a hug. A confidante, protector and most importantly, a faithful companion.

Besties and Friends that I have? Cherish and keep the friendship going strong. No man is an island. I still need a shoulder to cry on and company to share my happiness! Hehehe…

Spending time to myself and enjoy my own company is a definite. I love myself!

I have my mind set that I would like to travel around – near or far, around the country or overseas; at least twice a year. I love traveling. I love to snap photos everywhere I go. I want to see and explore the other parts of the world while I still can walk with my stumpy legs and see the colorful world with my very own eyes. There are just so many places that I want to plant my foot steps. Top of my mind are: Stonehedge, Greece, Coliseum, Egypt, China, Europe, Japan and the list just goes on…….

Of course, in order to travel around, I need funds. Traveling funds. Thus, while I earn every dollar and cent for my trips, I will concentrate on my work; my job. While I enjoy what I am doing and what I am good in, I will also put in my heart and soul to learn new stuff that comes along the way – from finance to management, from management to presentation skills. Anything. Everything. There is nothing to lose at all. If I start to get bored with my current tasks, I might just hop to another new environment – for a better and bigger pay check and new experiences. I wouldn’t mind working overseas if I have the opportunity!

I will have savings to own a property. A place of my own! Regardless whether I will live there, I just want to have my own place. I would probably go for a landed property as it will be more spacious than an apartment. When I decide to stay in there, I will then have a bigger kitchen and so I can feast ! I will then also have a bigger hall to have family and friends over for the weekend or so….Hmm..the thought of it is just awesome!

Overall, I am very happy that I followed my heart and went on the trip solo. My mind is cleared now and more focused on my desires. Bygones will be bygones; all will be turned into memories. Sweet memories kept safely in me.

Cheers!
