Spill

Being a final year student, I am supposed to be freaking out with studies and all.

Instead I am planning what to do after I graduate. 

Taking one whole year of gap year, purely for travelling. 

I would love to go to US again, travel NZ, backpack Europe with mom or go take a diving course, explore a couple of islands. 

I so want to get out of the country! 

I want to do all of this before I start my miserable routinised working life. 

There are people that might judge me as being spoilt, irresponsible, immature. 

It's an Asian thing. But heck, no fuck given. 

There's this set of sequence of life that everyone is expected to follow. 

Everyone is expected to get a degree, get a job, find a spouse, get married, have kids, retire, die. 

This is a routine that I see on everyone, and I hate it. 

Why can't I live against it? 

I have only one life, and I want it to be different from everyone. 

I've been cracking my head on how to escape this.

Some people might think that this is absolutely normal, but I see it as a depressing social norm that I must follow. 

The moment when I graduate, that set of lousy routine is going to start in my life and I can't do anything about it. 

Gap year is just my temporary escape from reality. 

Guess I'll have to accept this crap sooner or later. 

5 Fellas That Stole My Heart. Cinque Terre.

As of yesterday, I am finally FREEE from assignments! Well for the time being only of course. 

Finally got the mood to do something to my dying blog. 

I shall start with my favourite place of the trip, my mom's too. 

Cinque Terre.

It's a national park with 5 villages. 

Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola & Riomaggiore. 

So awesome that I wish to stay there forever.

Though we spent only one night here, it gave me memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life.  

We took a train from Milan interchanged in La Spieza, and to our final destination Corniglia.

There's walking paths that we can walk from one village to another. 

So we decided to do the one from Corniglia to Vernazza. 

It's about an hour and half of walking, the view along the way is simply amazing. 

We took a train to the remaining 3 villages, because we don't have enough time.

Pictures will do the talking, I didn't edit a lot of the pictures, because I am still figuring out how to edit pictures on Mac.
Yes, I suck in computers, but hey I am used to Windows okayyy.

 

This is by far the BEST spaghetti frutta di mare that I had. We were famished and tired, this came just on the right time.
I can still remember the taste of the sea while overlooking Manarola.

Found this cute little cafe giving out free wife and free wi-fi.

Cinque Terre is definitely in my must-return list. 

I remember every picturesque view, every taste, every smell, every breathtaking moments I had here. 

I still couldn't stop smiling whenever I thought about these 5 little villages. 

I felt genuinely happy, weird much?
