I'll be away most of May, June and August during the 4-month break; Mumsy showed her displeasure about it when I told her the number of places I'll be going to. Places with dates are confirmed with tickets booked (with the exception of London), and places without dates beside them are still tentative. I'd really love to be away in July as well, since air-ticket prices are bound to be low, but I'll need to be in my practicum school for observation. What a waste!

Anyhow, I'm really hoping that I'll be able to do a dive trip in April or May in Malaysia, and re-visit Bali and Lombok at the end of the year. November would be very much preferred since December will be the peak period and prices are bound to skyrocket, but I don't think holidays will start until December because the school term has been pushed back due to the Youth Olympic Games and the end-year holidays will be shortened by quite a bit. If not Bali&Lombok, I guess Lake Toba will be a good alternative. If not Indonesia, heading to Taiwan with the family doesn't sound too bad either.

And if all that I've just mentioned is not possible, then I guess some voluntary work in India or Nepal will be really cool too! Actually, I've been thinking of doing that for a long time.

I do have a lot of travel back-up plans, don't you think?
