round the world trip?

badminton is darn fun man.

and badminton fever is spreading throughout my family.. now even Samuel, Daniel and Li Wei came to play.. hehe.. which honestly makes things much more fun and games much more exciting

which makes me wonder, i had 3 male cousins of pretty much the same age for quite a while liao.. why in the world did i never get close with them and go for sports/games etc? only now then i realise got lost opportunities? haha.. wadeva.

setting another few resolutions for myself..
1. go nite-cycling
2. give my bunk a good scrub
3. save money like siao...

the last point is pretty crucial, honestly, if i am going to have any dreams of going for a europe backpack... cos it was only today that the harsh reality of the steep prices hit me hard. -_-... which means I better start saving...

and i was still having sweet dreams thinking of upgrading the tour to a round-the-world trip, buying round-the-world air tickets and then really going on my own amazing race.

like singapore >> japan >> south korea >> hawaii >> california >> argentina >> brazil >> south africa >> egypt >> greece >> switzerland >> russia >> turkey >> nepal >> thailand >> singapore...

15 cities, 1 round-the-world ticket, loads of fun, but no money to pull it off... =(

so i'll narrow my scope first and save for a europe backpack first lah.. estimate it to be around $5000 - $7500 odd.. which means i better start saving and living frugally...

like $500 needs to be saved.
plus $300 i have to give to my parents
means i have $200 to spend?!?

with $20 x 4 = $80 on transportation...
and around $60 for food,
that means i have a grand total of $60 to SPEND?
OH NO.. and i forgot offerings... =(

houston, we have a problem...

sigh.. start scrimping.
