Day 4 - June 11
We had to get up really early for the Hot Air Balloon session with Ballooning.es as the meeting time was 6.15am at the Plaza Catalunya area! You can see how tired Sheryl was:
Unfortunately for us, while we arrived on time, we realized that we had left Sheryl’s DSLR’s SD card back at the lodging place, and I had only brought my prime lens out. Even worse, my SD card didn’t work in her camera for some reason :(.

Day 3 - June 10
One of greatest life lessons I can offer you - When travelling with a girl, there is bound to be some shopping, even if you had left it out of the itinerary somehow. Second life lesson - Never stop a girl from shopping :P.
For Day 3, we decided to head to La Roca Shopping Village. Sheryl had told me about it just before the trip, and because of the change in the Hot Air Balloon session, we realized that we had time to squeeze this in.

In Part 1, I wrote about the tools that we use for our travel, and also how we eventually decided to visit Spain. The next 5 parts (including this) will cover the actual trip, with each part covering a city.
Day 1 - June 8
Our first stop in Spain was Barcelona. We arrived in Barcelona at 11am, after a long 16-hour flight. I tried to sleep as much as I could on the plane so I’d have energy from Day 1.

In my recent post, I talked about how I decided to go ahead with terminating my scholarship, and it looked like I alone was responsible for the decision. The reality is it wouldn’t have been possible if not for my family, loved ones, and friends. Specifically, I had 3 friends who were able to provide me with the necessary financial support to allow me to push through with my decision. Would I have gone ahead if it wasn’t for them?

I still remember I was in my 2nd year of National Service when I applied for a scholarship, that will pay for my university, give me an allowance, and also guarantee me a job when I finally graduate from university.
After a couple of tests and interviews, I was informed that I was selected. I was ecstatic. The idea of not needing my parents to support me through university, the sense of knowing that I”ll have a job once I graduate. That job is of course a bond that Ill have to serve for 3 years as part of the scholarship’s agreement.
