Signs, everywhere signs.

I sometimes feel I get asked more about my “life savings” than about when I’m going to get married (a shocker coming from an Asian family). I think it would make more sense to talk about my savings after getting married and/or having kids because then you’ve invested in other people outside yourself (ie husband/wife/kids etc…). Right now I’m free as a bird. I don’t have to look out for anybody except for myself. Yes, I do think it’s a good idea to have money for a rainy day but that whole “5 year plan” savings scheme seems a bit out of whacked for me right now. As much as I hate saying this all-time classic cliche – yes you could drop dead any day regardless of how healthy you are. Live a little, spend money, go places and do  potentially regretful* things (*with slight caution :P )

Well in a few days I’m on my way back to the US / UK  for a visit.  It’s been labeled the uSUK Tour 2009 though I hope not aptly named. I’m nervous, excited, anxious and @#%!&@#$%()*@. Being the total control freak I am I’ve pretty much structured my whole trip. Aside from just enjoying the company, I’ll be:

I just got a pair of decent walking shoes and yes they are *GASP* Crocs (http://www.crocs.com.my/footwear_detail.php?mainID=54 – in dark blue) I think I could have waited to get a pair of http://www.crocs.com.my/footwear_detail.php?mainID=36 in black instead but it was combo of wine and an impatient Ben that resulted in my rushed purchase. They are comfy as hell and light as shit (though hell isn’t comfy and shit isn’t light).

So aside from the obvious packing itself, I still need to sort out my holiday playlist. I’m a little behind on the times and only have a 2GB memory card to store my music on my phone. I must be very selective! But I forsee a lot of Jesus & Mary Chain, Wavves, Lovvers, the Horrors and uhm Ministry – that is if I stick to my Last.FM listening trend.

    True. But you could also drop near dead and not be able to work for months / years. Then if you didn’t prepare for your rainy days where do you go? Who does support you?
