Well, this is my customary 'before I get out of the country' post, haha.In something like 7 hours time I'll be on a flight to Shanghai. My first time there, hope it'll be good. Looking forward to a new place, after having been to Thailand like, 7 times in a row, which was then followed by a trip to the strikingly-similar-to-Thailand Vietnam. Somehow, I feel way more optimistic about this trip (in terms of itinerary, even though I don't really know what it is)... The idea of going to a cool/cold place really appeals to me I guess. I don't do it often.I feel nervous, haha. I never liked leaving home for extended periods of time. Whether it's for something simple like a band camp, or for holidays, I never liked not being able to sleep in a familiar bed at the end of the day. Home is called that for a reason I suppose. Above all else, there's security in one's home. A feeling of tranquility, in a sense. You don't have to worry about anything when you're at home.Of course, I'm speaking on a very existential level. It's one of those things we generally take for granted, our homes. Warmth, comfort, easing of tension... Home provides all those and more.Okay, I don't know where I'm going with this anymore haha. Never meant this post to become so serious. Whatever it is, I wish for, above all else, a safe trip for my whole family and I. Fulfilling tour or no, of utmost importance is the security of the whole family. Not like I can really do anything about it, but sometimes that concern can gnaw at my brain. Worrying about things I can't control will be the death of me =/Well, enough of these serious and depressing thoughts. I'm going on holiday for chrissake's, I can't act as if I'm going to take an exam! Hahaha.Well, that's that then. See you guys in 8 days time!
