what with oilfuel price soaring everywhere, it could just mean the end of cheap-travel era, or so i thought...

Been keeping an eye on travel offers for some time now, and i cant resist anymore, i just booked another flight ticket! As exciting as it may sound, booking tickets in advance without knowing where you'll be at the time of travel can be rather tricky. So far ive got three virtual tickets that i've yet to utilize and it's pretty comforting knowing that the getaway ticket is right there at your disposal and some good times are forthcoming.

Heard from a friend yesterday who is currently stranded in the UK because her passport was stolen while she was in Spain that contrary to what i might believe: 'Malaysian Passport is pretty valuable'. Apparently our passports are one of the targeted ones as it allows access to the UK and EU without the need to apply for travel visas. And havent i been taking that for granted?

The winter flight that ive just purchased is Stockholm bound, and it set me back for a mere 13 quid, and trust me, that's a bargain. And if time permits, im gonna sleep on it for the next couple of nights and decide if i should get future tickets for france and spain and the balkans. It pays to plan your trip months ahead!

Will be flying to Belfast on Tuesday and lately just busy having goodbye drinks with friends and colleagues, after telling them that im leaving London for good (im still not sure if that's true).

and how'bout that course that ive been wanting to take, nothing has materialized yet...so typically me...but blame it to the Revenue and Custom board, what's taking them so long to refund my TAX?? im hoping to get hold of some 700 pounds of tax paid to the queen under my nose if i can have it my way.

we'll see what happens...

Now, time for some good ol' travelin'...
