Que Sera Sera

It is a typical reaction in Singapore to be too engulfed with everything else as to neglect my blog or easyjournal. It is also the reason why on saturday afternoon as I took the bus home from queensway, I had a sudden panic attack regarding how ill equipped I am for my hike.

I've bought some stuff so far, boots, backpack and even a new pair of oakleys which I must say is quite a splurge. I also borrowed one of those drinking pack things from Les and got light sticks and army ration from Gil. Apart from that, I've got nothing else.

So when my panic attack struck, I hopped off the bus, and walked towards army market just to browse through and see if there's anything I left out. Compass? Flashlight? Hat? Knife? But as a perusing through the wide range of stuff at army market, I managed to convince myself I was being a little over dramatic. C'mon man, it's a hike that people have been doing for centuries and if they can survive with a stick and a clam shell, I don't see why I can't. Just to validate my army market venture, I bought a carabina anyway, no idea what I'll use it for, but might come in handy in case I need to repel down a 1000m high cliff or something!

So this is it! In Dubai now on transit. Will be attending my graduation and touring UK a bit before embarking on my pilgrimage. Spiritually, I wish I was a little more prepared as well. Wished I had attended some weekday masses, said a few rosaries, read a little more about St James. But I think wahtever will be, will be. Que Sera Sera.
