As the Europe trip gets nearer and nearer, i'm starting to fantasize about all the other cool places that i'll have to visit before i die...

i'm usually very excited everytime i'm about to go on vacation, be it a short nearby one, or a long far far away one... but the last i've been THIS excited was for USA. and now europe. shioks!

I've always believed that money earned is meant to be spent. Of coz, putting aside a sum for the necessary practical purposes such as marriage, house, kids etc... but aside from those, the rest are meant to be spent.

I don't think i'm a spendthrift. In fact, i'm definitely not one, and close frens of mine can testify to that haha... i think the most expensive thing i owned (aside fr electronic gadgets such as laptop, camera etc) is a pair of levis jeans which i bought on sale in bangkok for less than S$100 and a guess bag which i bought in USA for less than S$100 too. Not too bad, for a working ger eh... hahhaha....

BUT, as long as it's for vacation or travelling, i'll be willing to fork out any amount. I think experiences are invaluable, esp after i went for 3 months Work & Travel in USA, i even more hold true to this stand of mine. And to pay $1000 or $2000 (or even $3000) for such an experience is so totally worth it.

SOOO!!!! Here is a list of places i'll LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEE to visit!!!
And i have a plan, which i've started since i started working. Every month, i take out $300 from my pay to deposit into this separate bank account, which will fund all my vacations! so in a year, i will have $3600 which is more than enough to go places! And then there's still the bonuses heehee...

So every year, i want to visit 2 places. 1 long holiday at some far far away exotic place, and 1 short holiday at a nearby place.

For long holidays...

1) USA -> Florida, Miami, Niagara Falls, Mexico
2) Egypt
3) Turkey
4) Brazil
5) Japan -> during the sakura period!
6) Europe -> Spain, Amsterdam
7) Europe -> Greece, Russia, Prague
8) Puerto Rico / Costa Rica
9) Carribean Islands
10) Holland/Norway -> to look at Northern lights!!!!

and short holidays...

1) Boracay (yes i know i'm going in Apr, but i'll love to go that place again with Les =P)
2) New Zealand
3) Australia -> Sydney
4) Maldives
5) Hong Kong
6) Vietnam/Cambodia


See... the above will prob take me like 7 or 8 years to complete... but looking at them gets me excited. Believe it or not, making this list and thinking about it and looking at all the photos on the internet, makes me excited about the years to come and more motivated to work harder too.
Because if i lose my job (*TOUCH WOOD), all these will go to dust.

So anyway, i was googling all the above places, and omg they're alllllll sooooooooo amazingly beautiful! So beautiful okay. And i know there are alot of beach spots in my list, i love the beach! and i so love beach vacations!

I saw photos of Maldives. it's unbelievably beautiful. Maybe i should put this list on FB, then frens who are planning to go will ask me along hahahha... i'm sooo soooooo glad that my dearest boyfren is as playful as me, and as into travelling as me =))
