alas! it is Friday!..and the end of the first week of August. not that this week has been excruciatingly long or anything but it's always nice when a week ends. two days of sleeping in and lazing about in this eternally warm Southeast Asian weather. i have no special plans for this weekend - just the way i like it. perhaps a trip down to China Town tonight? followed by a nice (and healthy) meal with the fam.

on a more interesting note, i will be going to Bali for a couple days at the end of this month (in three weeks to be exact)! i am incredibly excited as it will be my first time there. a second for my family as they decided to abandon me on their last trip a couple years back (in their defense, i was off on my Spring Break in Dubai). i love love LOVE traveling! i'm pretty sure i was flying even before i could speak and have never stopped since. even more so since i've been in the UK; trapped under gray skies and dull concrete, i have truly missed jet-setting across the beautiful Asian continent. i really really want to visit Hong Kong and Tokyo again sometime in the near future though, my memories of those places are heavily fragmented and only go as far as a couple photo albums have from my last visit there (a good 10-15 years ago!).

this world is far too fascinating to be left undiscovered.
