Granted funds by NUS for my research trip to UK (Britain)

Thank God. I have received the e-mail by NUS stating that they have approved my application for the funding of my research trip to UK (Britain). The funds are sufficient to cover my two-way Singapore Airlines Airbus A-380 economy flights and a few days out of about 8 days of stay in London while I visit the Imperial War Museum, British Archives and the British Army Museum for research. Since that is the case, I will definitely stay on at my own expense and backpack Britain for another two and a half weeks. After all, I am already there on a paid trip and a thirteen-hour flight away! Unfortunately, I have to do that alone. Honestly, I am quite tired of travelling alone already. I used to be able to do that and enjoy myself but now I cannot bear the thought of travelling alone anymore. I am entering a different phase in life already. I hope this will be the last time that I need to travel alone on such a long trip. It will be fun seeing the places I have read so much about.
