Off to Nepal

Well, just finished packing.. flight is at 910am, which means, I gotta get to the airport at T2 at say... 745? About 1 hr 25 mins ahead of schedule, including buffer time to have breakfast with my mom... and MAYBE my sis, although that seems rather doubtful now. :P

Anyway... the damage before leaving is rather massive. We are looking at S$990 for the air ticket, US$400 for the trek (Estimate that at S$600). I have also spent about $500 in total getting ready, including vaccinations, winter gear, etc, and mind you, I have borrowed more than 2/3 of what I need, so it's already a major cost cutting exercise. So we are looking at almost S$2000 for this trip (not including any shopping that may happen there). Well, it is a 3 weeks trip, and unfortunately, due to me being v poor, and absolutely refusing to pay for data charges (accidentally or not, damn, I really have to learn how to switch off roaming), I am going to check my phone maybe only 1/2 times a day... switching it back off when I am done. So no updates, and if you want to leave me an urgent msg, sms is your best bet.

I am getting very excited.. and very tired... to reach airport at 745 means I gotta set off from home at 715, which means I have to wake up about 615 (including some panicking and last minute packing, if required). Am now charging my ipod and deciding if I should rent/buy some movies to watch from the iTunes shop... but hor... I really dun want to waste money at the same time leh. >.<

See how lah... I will be going off alone first, and my sis and godsis will only join me 2 days later (their meditation session is a 8-day course, whilst mine is a 10-day). So... couple of hours all alone... then total silence and no talking for 10-days. We will see how I cope. HAHAHAHA...
