Work has officially ended yesterday. Say goodbye to the Cinderella in all of us, and wave hello to the blasting times that we are so going to enjoy in the brighter tomorrows.

I am now in this state where adjustments seem impossibly difficult. A tad worried about SEP (okay, make that a lot), but knowing that worrying wont help somehow worsen the condition. I have a million things left to be settled and yet all i want to do when i get back is to rest more to compensate for all the hard work that i've put in for the past 3 months, eat all the goodies i can think of, and enjoy the company of friends and family. Like how responsible is that and where has the sense of urgency went?

Our roadtrip plan got twarted, just because there aint seats on board the coaches AND Queen Yukon, the cruise that brings us across to Dawson City.
If our plan had worked out somehow, we would be happily in Skagway NOW, basking in the tourissy town instead of sitting in the room watching Jon & Kate plus eight, Shrek the third, untraceable and playng wii till my arm hurts. Imagine taking the coach, the a cruise to Dawson then renting a car and begin our 12-hour drive to Skagway, stopping over at Whitehorse, Canada for dinner then moving on to Skagway to bew elcomed by friends of Jo and Pam and retreating to a hotel room (at employee's rate!) to get ample rest before we begin the new day with fun-packed activities. Imagine fishing at the lake, trekking, going around the town and the nearby towns and seeing lots and lots and lots of wildlife that one can never find in Singapore zoological gardens. Then imagine driving all the way back to Dawson City (erm.. actually the 12-hr drive aint really fun but well, we'll make do), have fun exploring that town then board the coach back to Tok, sleeping all the way back knowing that we'll leave this GD place when we wake up. That sound so much like what we should be doing (like what i think we deserve). All our plans has gone to waste. Can't say i aint disappointed. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment i know. so i kept reminding myself that this is Alaska, not Singapore. and two trips on the bus cost a freaking USD270!!

Anyway, i have the 7-day thingy to look forward to, and Ditty's lunch tomorrow. I am so not going to let myself down after paying so much and coming all the way, the furthest out i can ever imagine being.
