Since I'm getting older and all that, I'm not that excited on the prospect of another new year.
I mean, I wanna stay young and play all the time if I can get away with it, you know. I can't already, but the thought of bigger responsibilities and upcoming phases of life (so people say) up until now still makes me wanna wet my pants and roll down the hills.
But at the same time, I can honestly say I'm looking forward for January 2011 and the excitement it will bring. Let me break it down to you.
On the 2nd weekend of January, my office plans an outing for everyone and the destination is...LOMBOK. I have never been there, always wanted to. For my non Indonesian readers, it's an island right next to our famous Bali in Indonesia. It's not as popular and definitely quieter but it's part of the charm. Bali can definitely be super crowded during peak seasons with their non stop parties and beach activities while Lombok is just...peaceful. Although I doubt I will have a peaceful weekend since my co-workers and bosses are crazily awesome and they have things like, drama musical/GLEE competition planned. Yes I'm scared already, my ability to rap is a surefire guarantee that I'll be a victim.
But I can't wait to chill at the beach and be lazy.
The third week of January, my management along with other promoters will bring NERD to Jakarta for a concert. I'm a HUGE fan of their unique sounds and PHARELL WILLIAMS (who doesn't?). I think I will be transported back to my teenage years that night and sing/scream until my voice is gone. It will be worth it!
The 4th week of January, my practice group in the office (including me) will go to HO CHI MINH CITY for a training. Yes it's a training, it will be unlikely that we have a lot of free time there but STILL. I've never been to Vietnam. It sounds really exotic. I might get stuck in training sessions for 8 or so hours but let's never lose hope to explore an entirely new city and take a lot of pictures, right? Anyone ever been to Ho Chi Minh city? Any ideas of interesting activities to do there and places to see?
Hope everyone will have a wonderful January 2011!

Lombok looks beautiful. I prefer calmer places than crowded places. On vacations I want peace and calm. I hope you have great 2011. Happy New Year in advance :)
