无所事事

由七月尾回到家，至今也快三个月了。

刚回家时忙着为弟弟的婚礼而奔上奔下，接下来又为了办理澳洲签证而忙着考试，准备证件等等。现在弟弟人早就回Qatar工作去了，澳洲签证也顺利拿到手了，就只需决定出发的日子而已。本想尽早出发，但这一去又是一年，大姐七月份回来我会再次错过，许久没见到大姐了，现在闲着也是闲着，所以决定去探望她和家人。妈又建议我把两个小瓜也带着去玩玩，那就只好等到学校假期才能出发。澳洲的计划只好押后，也许明年再走吧。

这段时间里，我除了呆在家里，也趁机和朋友聚聚，但大家多忙着工作，只能趁周末见见面，其它时间我就坐在电脑前，努力地把旅途上的照片放上网和朋友们分享。有位朋友对此举不屑，认为是种炫耀的作风。但我志在分享，他人怎么想我可不管那么多了。每做一件事，褒贬总会有的，人生路上那可能满足每个人呢？

但最近该做的事似乎都已办完了，我又开始计划该到哪儿走走看看了。要是继续呆在家里我可能会发疯。而且是真的疯掉那种，不再是我一贯的疯疯癫癫了。曾经考虑找份短期工作，但没找到合适的，朋友说是我不够努力，我想他是完全说中了。

距飞往Qatar的日子还有一个多月，也许我真能计划计划一下了。

梦

昨晚我做了场于我而言算是相当奇怪的梦。梦里的自己穿着不该穿的衣服，牵着不该牵的人的手，去个不该去的地方。这当真是日有所思，夜有所梦吗?未免太难以置信了。

In Mongolia

Have not been updating the blog for a looooooong time, AGAIN!Well, it's not easy to keep it update when I am on the road. However, today someone asked that I check her blog out so I might as well write something...

I just got back from my 6 days Mongolian countryside trip, had done the whole trip hitch hiking, apart from the 2 short city bus trips to get in/out of centre, and not spent a single cent on accomodation. The feeling???GREAT!!!Very happy with myself cause this is exactly what I am targeting for when I left Ulaan Baatar on Tuesday.

It's not all smooth sailing, but all these difficulties and challenges make it more memorable than some of my well planned trip!! Some nights it rains in the middle of the night while I was sleeping out in the field and I had to run looking for shelter in the dark, my mistake for not bringing a torch ; and HH is not always easy either, sometimes I ended up at a place where I did not plan to go, or spent few hours walking down the road hoping the next car will pick me up.

It had been a great outing for me, and am certainly looking forward to embark on the next one SOON!!! Meanwhile, I shall continue to remember bits and pieces of this trip!

Photos from my Iceland and Norway trip

It is really difficult trying to maintain and keep everything up to date on all sites especially when traveling and the access to computer is limited, and I know that sooner or later I will end up only with one. So I abandoned Multiply, and got on to facebook, and now with blogspot, am not sure how long I will be able to keep it....but for now, I had managed to update it now and again, and this time even managed to upload some photos, which I think it 's a good sign....so this is some of the photos from iceland and Norway...will try to upload more when I have more time..

Captivating Norway...

I always know that Norway is a beautiful place, but little did I know that I will be extending my stay from 1 week to 3 weeks. Am I mad??Maybe, but that's just me being me!! Come to think of it, I think it must have been the snow, or was it the Norweigian man that I met??Honestly, a bit of both, I must say.

Some people whinge that it's bare and plain when everything is white, it's cold and miserable and they hate it, but for me, I find that I actually like winter especially when it snows. I love the way everything is covered in a big white blanket of snow, makes everything seems so magical and romantic, just like the picture you often see in the fairy tales. I like the way the snow shaped the place in it's own unique ways, like an artist with a magic wand. I like the icicles that looks like a curtain. I like the air, it feels so much fresher when it's cold. And I like that when I fall on the snow, it does not hurt. I like that people are walking funnily on the street trying not to fall. I like to see the shape of snow flakes on my black gloves, they are so pretty!! And when it snows, you do not get wet as fast as when it rains, though I must admit I like the rains too.

Then there is Lasse, a Norweigian guy that I met. He is full of energy, and really interesting and fun to be with, and he is 12 years older than me. I enjoyed his company so when he said that I can joined him for a film trip for BBC to film Musk oxen in Dovrefjell, I jumped at the opportunity. So I spent 9 days in a place called Kongsvold in the middle of no where, just learning to ski (and to fall) and enjoy the beauty of nature.

So with all the "likes" of winter and the special encounter with the guy, I have stayed in Norway 2 weeks more than I planned to. And I must say I love every moment of it!! And I wished I can stay much longer, but I really must start to plan to go home or I will never make it for my brother's wedding. Deep inside, I vow to come back some other time. Norway, is my new love.

*note:
1.dun ask about photo, I will try to upload asap.
2.Musk Oxen is a cow looking creature but from goat family with a big horn and thick fur

10 days in Iceland is over now...

10 days, seems long, it's 2 digit, isn't it??How come it wheezes pass so fast??Tomorrow I'll be leaving Iceland already, I felt like I had just arrived!!

I have mix feeling about leaving Iceland, happy that I had decided to come and had throughly enjoyed my visit and sad that when I leave tomorrow, I have no idea if I will visit Iceland, ever again though I would really love to, some day, some time...it's just so far away. It feels like saying goodbye to a friend in Europe not knowing when we will see each other again.

I have not seen much, but I had grown to like Iceland, I guess it must be the snow, the snow gives Iceland an extra romantic touch, and I am attracted to it just like a moth to fire. No, of course it is not that bad, I am not suicidal, haha....

Anyway, I shall look forward to my next visit and mean time concentrating on my next destination - Norway.

Ice land Iceland

Well, iceland at this time of the year certainly suits the name. It's white everywhere, fresh snow, compressed snow and ice made the whole place look white, and I simply love it.

Even though it is not the best time for touring around, with some of the road being closed and bus services being reduced, I am not going to complain, cause I had specifically choose to come in winter to see iceland as it should be, at least it is what I think it should be, and I'm not disappointed!

The trip from Reykjavik to Akureyri passed through rows and rows of white hills and mountains with occasional farm houses in sight, other than that it's just the road, the bus and the white hills. Feels so good to be looking out of the window and being greeted by the "white view".Alright, think I'm a lil bit crazy about this white view of mine, haha...
