My sis is flying to China with her school on an exchange trip. First time, she will be going overseas without her family around. Not that i don't trust the teachers and her schoolmates won't take care of her but you know, overseas trips have a special place in my heart and i'm sure it's the same for anyone.
It's not everyday tht you are jetting out and that's why you treasure and savour every second of it. For my family thus, a trip overseas is synchronous to having a mega family outing. The two are inseparable. Sure, the idea of venturing overseas with a friend may sound cool, be it on a luxury cruise or a exotic backpacking stint. But i have found out 3 years ago on a student exchange program to New Zealand, that the fun and exhilaration levels can never match the one i had even earlier on, also to NZ...
Somehow from this, i can proudly proclaim that i'm fiercely family-orientated. There's a twinkling of warmth as i type this out. Every now and then i will lament the need to stay in camp 24/5. It is nothing short of blatant cruelty to me. Sign on and sacrifice my time with my family??? Nevaaaaaaaaaaa !!
Ooohh... It seems that i have digressed so greatly!
Have a safe and memorable trip nevertheless pig!
