Where do I go now?
Although the week before this had been rather eventful, I can't help moping around in despair knowing that my semester break this time will not only be uneventful, but perhaps depressing as well.
I know what I need at this time - a part-time job. But I doubt if it would cure me of my urge to go travelling, even if it means travelling within Malaysia. It is so unlike me to just stay at home during the holidays doing almost nothing. I recall my younger days when I looked forward to the holidays because I knew that holidays would mean travelling, even if it was only to Penang, Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands or Singapore.
But now, at eighteen, I feel so deprived. My hunger to see the outside world is such that I could no longer contain myself. I long to go out travelling on my own, but I fear the response that I will get from my parents, the shelling that I foresee upon my suggestion to travel alone.
All I can do now is just daydream about my travels. I know it makes me sound so desperate, but I am not very far from that point of being desperate. I could only imagine myself travelling in Johor Bahru, Singapore and the like. Honestly, I have not been to Johor Bahru yet and if I DO drop by in Johor Bahru, Josiah and Hann, you will have to bring me around, yeah?
It is rather ridiculous that I feel envious when people go travelling around now. I acknowledge the fact that I have travelled to places that perhaps many people have not been to, but it is unlike me now to just stay at home and do nothing except going online, blogging, working, chatting and playing DotA! Life is more than just those, right?
At a moment like this, I can only relieve myself with some nostalgic piano performance such as this (Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin):
