Mummy finally says YES! She finally agress on my decision to fly to Vietnam for a backpacking trip! Haha tickts are already booked cus' if we book now tickets are cheaper. I still can't believe it's really happening, this is gonna be the most exciting and boldest thing I've done in my life. I think I'll learn a lot through this trip. Although Vietnam isn't really that far from Singapore, but it'll be the first time I'm going abroad alone, without my family. Thrilling! So now, main thing's to return Bobo the $$$ cus' hr dad used his VISA to pay for our tickets first. Gonna pay her come Saturday with my tuition pay! Hahas my tuition pay is $150, air ticket's $190 but Mum says can take Daddy's to sponsor my air ticket, but I wanna pay myself! You know, that sense of achievement. Haha but I'll let them lend me $40 for the remaining first then retur them another day. =DI must start scrimping and saving, cus' I don't wanna use my folks' money for this Vietnam trip. Hahas I remember this book we read in secondary school for Lit, called "Walkabout". It's a story about the aboriginals in Australia, when the boys are gonna turn into adults, they have this sorta coming-of-age ritual called the "walkabout" where they literally walk about in the desert live there for dunno how long, survive on their own and stuff. So, this Viet trip will be like a coming-of-age ritual for me! =DWe'll be flying to Ho Chi Minh City on the 17th July at 11:25AM! I'm counting down!
