Alright, in less than 15 hours time, my flight is going to take off.

Uh? Eric taking a flight, did I get it correct? How come he is suddenly so free (while others are going to have exam realli soon)?

okok, calm down. I am in fact going on a trip --- A LONG ONE! I am going to my elective study trip tomorrow and I am going to be out of town until 13th June. YES 6 weeks!

So you might be wondering where I have chosen amongst th 1xx countries on earth. TADA! the winner is ....................NEPAL. I am going to have my elective there for 5 weeks and then I am going to INDIA for an extra 1 week for vaccations.

Why nepal? Well, I wanna go to somewhere that I may not have a second chance to go, somewhere I can be enlightened on the humanity value of working in the medical field, and somewhere that might turn on my flame in soul that always dims a little bit during exam time. Yea, going to advanced place is definitely splendid... but I wanna have a special experience.

So friends, I will not be able to see you in person in the coming weeks. I will try to get online but I cannot promise. I am also planning to open a special blog in blogspot on this trip. But I needa see if it is feasible to do so e.g. stable internet connection. Anyway, I shall post a link here if that is possible.

And also, if you want a postcard from Nepal/India, send me your address via email la.

Finally, but most importantly: I do have roaming service for my mobile, and I am going to keep it on in case of need. But that is EXPANSIVE. SO PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE, DO NOT CALL MY MOBILE IN THE COMING 6 WEEKS UNLESS CASE OF EMERGENCY. You may still SMS or email me. I would try to reply as soon as I can.

NEPAL, INDIA, HERE I AM!!

p.s. saw the olympic torch/flame in Shatin on my way home. Imagine a world without all the politics.... that should be a much better place. And these lyrics started to ring: "heal the world/make it a better place/for you and for me and the entire human race..."
