Travel Diary 0.1, 8th Feb 2017

It's not easy to decide whether I am going for this trip or not. After I finished my exam in May 2016, I asked my parents whether they want to go for a graduation trip or not. They said it's up to me. So I think it's quite expensive and too much of a burden for me since I do not have any savings at that time. I decided not to go and they asked whether I can attend the graduation ceremony in Singapore, if I can, they can also easily come visit Singapore. But I can't because I was doing private studies and the ceremony they hold is for their students who joined and studied at their institutions. When Mom knows that I can't attend the ceremony, she asked me to check for the gown and hire it and take a graduation photoshoot with parents. I can feel that she wants to attend for her son's graduation ceremony. So I decided, Okay Mom, we will go to UK. Do not worry about money. I will try to make it happen.
You know parents. Sometimes they are quite tough to deal with. They will never say straight about what they want. The problem is they know too much about us and sometimes they try to close the gap between what we want and what they want without letting us know their intentions. But only after some time, you found out about that. It is seemed not honest to me. Sometimes I am glad that they do their job as parents. So the trip is confirmed and I started planning for financing and travel. At first, I only want to go to London just for graduation. But they said it's not worth. Mom asked her friends who have been to UK and she said we can rent an apartment and save some costs and stay there for more days. Since I do not have enough leave to stay for long in London. I rejected the idea. I will stay at the hotel with a reasonable price but just for a week. Another week in Singapore for my parents to visit after London. Quite frankly saying, I think I will not be quite comfortable as in Singapore in any other country. Travel always brings some sorts of uncomfortable things. Some people can take those as experience and having a life. But not for me. But I do enjoy though. Of course who doesn't like travel right.
I booked at Central Park Hotel, Queensborough Terrace which is 30 min bus drive away from Barbican Centre, Silk Street where the graduation ceremony will be held.

The awakening of a society

Nowadays with the help of advancement in technology we, human beings become well aware of things that are happening all around the world. Information available on the tip of a finger is so much overloaded to the capacity of a human brain. Sometimes we wonder about what a society that we are living in right now by seeing a headline that totally challenge your background of scientific literacy and the integrity of morality. Everything is seemed pretty much chaotic and some are seemed kind of fucked up even if you are quite optimistic in terms of life philosophy. It is not only just because of the technology that we aware, it is also quite true in reality that our human society as a whole becomes more complex and I want to name it as the awakening as a being. Human being is a living being that can learn pattern. Yes, our ancestors liked patterns, they had noticed them, they observed and they learnt from them and eventually evolved into human beings who created civilizations across th

Travel Diary 1.5

We woke up around 7am next morning. We had our heavy breakfast that day. The flight is at 11.15am. We reached to Singapore around 4pm. We checked in at the hotel located inside the airport. We will be sleeping for just one night in Singapore and to save some travel time, I decided to book at the hotel at the airport. I realised that it was a bit expensive for me but I planned only this one time as luxurious and it can also save some unnecessary trouble like waking up quite early for tomorrow. The flight for tomorrow is at 9.15am. We can wake up at 6am. We had our very late lunch at Thai restaurant in the airport after checking in and putting our luggage inside the room. We headed out to city hall area. I want to exchange some pounds that evening but all exchange shops were closed when we reach to city hall. I decided to exchange at the airport. I showed my parents around the buldings and the sightseeings around city hall area. After we walked for about 45 minutes, my mom's foot wa
