Magical TurnAbout-- Let Me Spin A Tale, A ThouSaNd LighTs, A StaGe as Grande

Now, everything has come to an end. Projects. Exams. And what not. I bid my goodbye to the long nights rushing DEADLINES. I bid the times where we run around the central district of singapore to cover events. I bid the helpful community centres who rendered me assistance in those wonderful moments. I bid the times spent in the Tvprod studios, freezing our butts off in the arctic-like climates (even polar bears have fur and blubber... ). I bid the times spent polishing our advertising campaign, designing those 10 over creatives, putting together the 160 ppt slides (Yes, and you may exclaim over here, but its true.) I bid the really cool spanish classes and photgraphy lessons, which i admit were the ones i am most enthused about. I bid the mrm lessons in the business block and the terminologies that is a killer. I bid the times where we struggled with the MM business plan and i fried my brain dry with all those figures (yes, the queen bee will laugh here.). And, finally i bid goodbye to all the wonderful lecturers who will not be teaching us next sem. Thanks for being such a ball of laughter! And, i dont need to say goodbye but rather thanks to all the people who helped made this all possible and tolerating with my 'moments of BEARABLE jokes' and being such fuddy-duddies. gah.

This sounds like a damn long speech. Maybe cordelia might even consider grading me for it.

i spent my birthday with my advertising text. This must be the 'best' birthday ever. Nah. I mean its not that bad, at least i thank the 30 people who wished me one way or another and the 10 of u who msg-ed me quite on the dot. i was similing at the phone the whole time i was studying late into the night because not of all the weird msg-es but rather you ppl who remembered. Just when i was struggling with my advert text and getting exasperated with all the hundred over pages i have yet to lay my eyes on. yes, i am 18. But, i guess its just another year.

I want something different this year. I have yet to fulfil my dream of travelling to Spain. I wonder how it's like just exploring the grounds and not follow a strict regime or even a tour group. It will just be me and maps. Well, one word for it will be backpacking.

I made a promise to myself: to go to Spain when i turn 21. yes, its 3 years from now but i will need to prepare, to be financially stable and to be independent. And, my itinerary, food supplies, right clothing, AND language. I give myself 3 years and i'm out of here: the cage. I m not saying Singapore is a boring place but rather i want to experience the world outside of her. Spain is just the country, which is worlds apart from here. The different culture, people and traditions.

Will I be able to do that? To just pack and leave?

I just know the desire is surmounting.
Because i need it.
And, i want it.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder;
