Tomorrow this time, I'll be in DFS, happily shopping. Or perhaps I would be having brunch. Warm, fuzzy thoughts, those. Except they include spending money that I don't have yet. Sucks bigtime to constantly worry about money. How would it feel to have so much dough that you never have to worry about the cost of things that you want?

I don't think I'll ever know in this lifetime.

That aside, I'm actually feeling quite calm about flying off tomorrow, like it hasn't yet sunk in that I'll actually be in Taipei at 6pm tomorrow. Wow.

What would it be like?

I remember my trip to US has been quite... a culture shock at first. But since I had Elsie, I wasn't actually all that worried. I think she was actually scared stiff, wondering what she had gotten herself into, traveling to US with a girl who's barely cleared 21.

That must have been pretty unnerving. But heck, we survived, didn't we?

(INTERLUDE)

Boss just brought a colleague out for lunch for its secretary week. Pardon me for being puzzled.

Why is she the secretary and I'm still doing his shit (and minutes, pouring of drinks, etc...)? The unfairness of it all!

And I absolutely detest doing mundane stuff! God! Ughhhhh!!!

(END OF INTERLUDE)

So now I've finally fulfilled one of my aims set out earlier this year: the Taiwan and & Japan trip. Note to self: better start saving for your Japan trip next year. I really don't want to end up without spending money there. The clothes and stuff are supposed to be beautiful and irresistible.

And seriously, I have got to lose weight. Been piling it on like nobody's business and the trip to Taiwan will definitely not help matters. Sigh...
