holiday planning

well had to do this since my brother will be going to
unimonash in melbourne and dad is going to sponsor my
ticket and maybe a few bucks. then i realized that i'm
heading there for 2weeks and at the wrong time since its
cold season and the attractions and the beach may not
be the best places to hang around. although if going
out in trunks when the weathers hitting 13degrees is fine
for you, well, thats your thing.

surfing around i thought i'd commit some thoughts to
posterity. i think my outdoor and food fantasies will
be fulfilled really nicely in tasmania. the island
is rather huge, and i thought it was the size of
singapore. 300km plus up and across, more through
exploration would probably take around 2weeks? so its
a great thought for an annual vacation.

my issue would be getting around the other states
when i'm in melbourne. gonna need to find some cold
weather attractions, scrimp by taking the night
trains, go far then make it back in time to take
a flight back home.

budgeting 100 a day for 10 days is 1k. chances are
dad might be tight fisted. so hopefully my job will
be able to cushion some of my expenses. i'm probably
overbudgeting but i guess it should compensate for
my frugal existence that i've led.

now, more research on transport, clothes and
attractions and hopefully my planning and contingencies
will allow me to have a fuss free holiday.


recently i went to "the central" to meet up with
hermains and vonney. and sher gave me quite cuckoo
directions lah. i actually walked to "central mall"
instead because that was what i found on the map.
"the central" was actually just above the mrt. lol.
cant trust a girl's sense of direction can we?

it was good meeting them, sher is graduating with
2nd lower. vonne is probably fine too. me? i
somehow dread my graduation since i *know* i'm
not going to have the grades to show for it. but
i'm ok, i know that its not my point either.

well, maybe someday i'll be able to organize
one nice class gathering. problem is, i'd have
to find everyone first. oh well.
