Cosmopolitan Getaway (#3 2019)


From last yer's trip

Hot on the heels of my recent gateway to a rather oriental city, this weekend would be a gateaway to a cosmopolitan city just about an hour by fight from where I am.  This will most probably be the last trip of the year. All in all, I didn't travel much this year. Can't be help I guess. I need to channel my finances elsewhere for these couple of years.

 Anyway,  I am meeting up some friends whom I have not seen for quite a while so it's a weekend of eating, talking, cooking and I am not sure if I would have the time, hopefully I can read a bit too..

 Nevertheless, how can I travel without my beloved books?  There's always the flight time for me to spend some time with them.   And the time spent waiting for flights, that's my reading time too.    

 This time round, I am quite keen to travel with an ebook.  Something that has been downloaded into my mobile.phone.  This would mean one less item to carry since I have luggage weight restrictions.

I am still thinking if it's a good idea.  What do you think?

 Update : I nearly called off this trip due to a change of deadline of my assignment submission but all is good and I am good to go.  

 See you soon Singapore!

But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages. He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have confidence in myself The girl
