Leaving on a Jet Plane

When asked what his favorite experience is, one designer answered that it is riding a plane 'coz one never knows what that particular journey will bring. I can't help but agree. Whether it is for a vacation or a permanent move, going away or coming back home, a trip gives us memories to keep, pictures to share and stories to tell.

It has only been a month since I last got out of Singapore. But, given the stress of daily life, it seems way longer. A break is, indeed, in place. New air to breathe...new sights to see...It's going to be chill.

Jeng texted me early this morning. My mom apparently texted her, asking her to bring some stuff for me. What made Jeng and I laugh is one line which went: "You two enjoy in Cambodia. May you meet the right man who will love and make you happy soon". Classic Mom! I think she meant "soon" as in this weekend... As if! :)

Most likely, our 3 day escapade will be spent learning history, shopping for antiques, and as Tegs suggested, having massages. Realistically, we are neither going to find the man of our dreams touring the old temples nor will they turn out to be one of those monks clad in orange robes. (Are they even allowed to marry?) ... Thus, Jeng and I will end up being the epitome of the new age single woman - independent, strong, and out to conquer the world. Who needs a man? :)

Sorry mom, it's not gonna happen this weekend...

But, then again, who knows what this journey will bring? :)
