12 more days to my Australia trip. Rather excited and nervous cos it's my first time visiting a western country. And I have to plan for the whole 23 days, so I am not sure if the planning will turn out fine. Moreover, for the first 16 days, I will be with my mum alone, and it makes me feel heavy with responsibility.

I have been spending a lot of effort reading up magazines and surfing the net, trying to find out more about the places of interest, accommodation, car rentals, flights, etc, and comparing prices and piecing the activities to fit the schedule. Well, I have gained a better understanding on Australia, but it has a heavy toll on me. I really spent a lot of time on the research...

Just 12 more days... very near. The feeling is extraordinary.

After that, I will be climbing Mount Kinabalu followed by obtaining open water diving license in July, before being by myself in Nanjing for 4 years. Hopefully, I can get my bike license before I leave. All these fulfill the adventurous side of mine, and certainly makes my 21st full of excitement!

<edit> I just made an online purchase at ebay for my camera! Omg, I feel so insecure now. Well, but it's significantly cheaper so I am making a risk. I remember during my last STE interview, the deputy CEO said something about wanting to understand my risk appetite. Well, I've always thought I am a high risk-taker. But recently I realise that when it comes to money-related stuff, I am not. I was cheated once when I was in Sec 4. I was too stupid to make the payment outside ebay via private transfer. Dumb. That really makes me fearful of online purchases. Haiz, no matter what, hope to receive the product soon man...
