catch the wind in your sails.

with friends studying all over the world right now, facebook creates wonders by keeping me updated on every movement that they make, well at least all that they (and their friends) bother to update. lately there's been a large bout of photo updates of the many different places that my friends have travelled to, and taking glimpses into their lives through the photos (yes, slightly voyeuristic) has submerged me in a suffocating need want to travel. perhaps it sounds ridiculous to hear this since i am in the USA and technically i'm already a 'traveller' in the sense that i'm an alien in a foreign land and i have been going around, but no, that's not what i mean.

having been surrounded by so much 'american-ness' these few months, i'm struck with an urge to go somewhere asian. not some crowded chinatown marked on a tourist map and demarcated by a few streets, but somewhere authentically asian. taiwan, vietnam, china, japan...just thinking about it makes me want to run out of the school right now and....do something about it. catch the wind in my sails, explore, dream!

but needs trump wants, with a few weeks left to graduation, the task of applying for jobs/internships takes precedence over any such plans. plus such plans should be left till i have my own means of financing them. thus, it only leaves for me to keep following my friends' travels on facebook, and to blog about it here. but mark my words, world, my dreams shall not be relegated to a mere unrealistic want, i willllll realise them.

till then, work work work!
