Zuboing
Been back at work for almost 2 weeks. Spent most of the time waiting for 6pm to come each day. Had very little lab work to do because my cells are still growing! Tomorrow will be a busy day though.
When I had nothing to do, would prob be in front of the computer - MSNing, settling my travel photos (oh.. can see them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/niat/63397748) or reading. Not reading journals though, but reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!! Haa. Damn jia latz. Feel rather guilty that I spend work hours doing personal stuff. But there's really nothing much I can do. But I guess if I really want to, I can update my log book (which is years behind time) or search for related articles to read.. But I guess I am just plain lazy. Another thing is that I no longer have motivation for my work. Why? Because I pretty much decided that I will not be staying in research line anymore. So I guess I don't see the incentive to work so hard! So bother.. What kind of attitude is ths!! Please someone scold me! Psycho me to work harder! Die.
Starting to look into my work and travel plans again. New Zealand is number one on my list. Heard from my colleague who used to live in NZ that wages for say factory work comes up to about NZ$17/hr! But there's a tax of 11%, even after tax, there's still say $15/hr? Cool! But accomodation seems really expensive, food is expensive too unless I can cook on my own. I really wish that I will be able to earn enough to travel and save and even give family allowance! But seems like quite a tough thing to pull off, especially in NZ. But in UK, maybe can, since will be earning in pounds! Don't know.
Thinking about my plans for near future and sort of worked up to this for now:
Mar-Sep 06: Part time tourism course.
June 06: End internship
July - Sep 06: Work (preferably in tourism area)
Oct 06: Chiangmai (hone my thai massage skills so that I can work as a masseur on my travels)
Nov 06 - Apr 07: NZ (work and travel)
May 07 - Jun 07: USA/Canada (No work-holiday visa available, so maybe just travel around)
Jul 07 - max Jun 09: UK/Europe (Work in UK and travel through Europe)
A plan like this will be very demanding. Up to 3 years away from home at one shot, cos would probably fly from one city to the next without returning back.
Alternatively, I can come home after my NZ stint and work for a few months/years before doing the UK one as UK work-holiday scheme is applicable to people below 30 years old. Then probably will do US/Canada as in independent trip.
All these are pretty tentative. Ideas formulating in my head. All subjected to many changes as time goes by as my interests change and opportunities come knocking by.
