Holiday A-Dreamin'

Just so happens that today whilst at work we sorta hit a mental brick wall, and everything comes to a complete halt and all we can do is think about taking a weeklong holiday to Sporeland.

We think it's probably either due to us recently reading Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series and the idyllic settings of an English village, or it could be our morning coffee (which, sometimes, has us feeling lightheaded after our first cuppa, but we soon recover on our second cuppa).

While a weeklong holiday to Sporeland something that we could do, we're not looking to burning our leave days like that so soon. There's the YKLS production in November, meaning we've to block of leaves for that, and if we were to take a nice long vacation, we should plan to go with the Chief.

Mind you, we're really thinking/dreaming along the lines of long, do-nothing kinda vacation where the key word would be: idleness.

Where, if we did go Sporeland, all that we would be doing would be to wake up late, go for a leisurely dip in the pool (assuming we stay with sis, of course), lounge at a Starbucks along Orchard Road, and shop. Everything indoors and air-conditioned, although it's rather unfortunate that Sporeland suffers the same hot and humid weather we're going through now and that every time we step out into the Sporeland streets we immediately break out in sweat, whether it be to walk from one mall to another or to head to the MRT stations.

Why Sporeland?

Why not Bangkok?

Also, what do we call all our past highland getaways or weekend Sporeland trips or the recent Hat Yai hopalong then?

Well, we're more familiar with Sporeland. It also helps that sis is around should we need accomodation. And since we're just dreaming of an idle vacation there's not gonna be any intensive travel itinerary save Orchard Road Shopping. Oh and maybe the few food places the Chief can introduce us too (like them yummy porridge with raw fish!).

Bangkok, while full of shopping possibilities, put us in mind of hot weather more than air-conditioned lounging. It just does. Must be because we're thinking of Chatuchak and the nighttime street markets than we do of Paragon and MBK.

And we call those our previous trips 'quick getaways', not leisurely vacations. Even the Hat Yai trip, while over a long weekend, was slightly stressful as it the trip involved almost all of Clan Chief and heavy shopping (although we ended up buying close to nothing).

Last time we did a leisurely Sporeland trip? Two years back.

Good grief productivity has definitely slowed down today.

And maybe we should be dreaming about a leisurely weeklong break in Glasgow or London instead, where the weathers much more to our liking all year around. Walk about Oxford Street or Sauchiehall Street or Argyle Street. Visit HMV, Virgin Megastores, lounge at Starbucks with a Strawberries and Cream frappe costing 3 quid, slow walks in the parks, mooch about Tesco for snacks. And if it's winter, we can even wear our leather jacket in comfort too.

Thankfully, we've got an AhFuckit Trip coming up soon to look forward to!
