Hello

My attempts at maintaining a blog, or a journal of any sort, have been quite feeble, sluggish at best, simply because I lack the discipline to consistently churn out quality writing I will be proud of 10 years from now. No, Tumblr and Dayre don’t count (unless you enjoy reading mindless teenage angst).

Back when I thought of starting this blog, I only meant for it to be a travel blog/photo diary i.e. no whiny posts about how I miss Singapore yada yada. But now that I’ve got my head screwed on right after estimating my monthly budget, I have decided this will be a personal blog about my overseas exchange. (Edit: The Swiss Franc has risen a mighty 15% against the SGD. Sorry, Papa, no more Rolex for you.)

Okay, I have rambled for far too long. Tonight, I will be boarding my flight to Helsinki, where there will be a two-hour stopover before I fly to Milan. Thereafter, I will be taking a bus to Lugano, Switzerland. During my five-month stay, I hope to travel to Paris, Milan and the UK. I don’t know about travelling within Switzerland because everything there is frightfully expensive. Oh, Spain would be a bonus!

Thank you for taking time to read my first official entry and hopefully my life in the next five months will be of interest to you (no matter how vague).
