holiday?

I've been standing at this crossroad so long it's a wonder no truck has run over me yet for being so indecisive and wasting everyone's time. I really don't know if I should quit my job and go for a sabbatical. Backpacking budget traveling and working holiday appeal to me maximum. They're something I wanted to do since a long time ago. Or should I just do the practical thing. Don't quit. Or quit and find work in a better company.

My brother's hotel in Sweden. He got to see snow. Touch snow. Slip in snow. Gaaaah!

YC emailed me some pictures she took in Venice. My colleagues and I both had goosebumps just pressing the scroll button. I don't even know where's Venice if a world map hit me in the face. It never occured to me Venice is... attainable. In my lifetime.

JH went to Phuket for his honeymoon. Need I say more?

I'm trying hard to convince myself that my mum is right, my relatives are right, that I should focus on my career before thinking about traveling and especially nonsensical notions like flying to New Zealand for 6 months to pack kiwis. Then I look at the places my friends have been. And realise how big the world is. And how small my career advancement issue is. I've never studied overseas. I've never been anywhere outside Asia. I've never seen snow. Dammit.

Someone please pick me up at the crossroad between Financially Secure Street and Aimless Traveling Road. I'm the one with a tattoo on my left and right ankle, pacing restlessly and biting my fingernails.
