flawed work of art.

my @#*^!^%!$ exams are finally OVA! dismaying as it is, I feel kinda empty not studying for the last 2 days, like not having the usual guilt pangs as I prop myself in front of the pc, jamming away on the keyboard. oh well, no time to brood over that now... I'm jet-setting off tomorrow to hokkaido, japan. ironically, 8 days has a write-up on it this week. thanks xin!
techinically, I'll be flying to korea, where we'll take a domestic flight to jap from there. geographically & economically rewarding, I suppose. honestly, I was never looking forward to the trip. and I still am not. a little. I mean, I could be driving by x'mas if it weren't for the whole 1 week away from reality. I say reality cos' holidays are always that space of time away from reality, as in.. 'no work, no pressure, no worries.' besides, it's tour group style. *makes a face* let me tell you all the downsides of such style of vacations.
1) you are told when to wake up. it's MY holiday! can't I choose the time I wanna wake up? what about jet lag? sheesh.
2) you are told where to go. hullo? I didn't fork out a few k to have someone tell me where to go. ever heard of lonely planet or the internet?
3) it's uncool. ok, I'm being such a schoolie by saying that, but it IS a fact. I shudder to think that we'll be led by some local with a weird twang, waving a light blue flag.
4) can't I have chocolate ice-cream for lunch if I want to? I'm a paying customer. so, don't make me eat out of some place where you get to eat free too.
yeah, those are the main reasons, but I could compile a whole pageful of lamo excuses if I wanted...
so, during this one week away, I wish all you blog readers good health and have fun this pre-festive season! wait for my next blog when I'll tell you all about my trip. by the way, I lost my coat and will have to wear a mom's checkered one that is probably older than my eldest brother. no kidding!
