The Deal With Mommy

I’ve come up with a deal for mommy dearest.

I told her that if she spent the first few days of Hari Raya here with me, I would return together with her when goes back to Singapore to celebrate with the relatives there….

What a bribe eh?? After not celebrating it with her for some time, I thought it would be extremely nice this year to celebrate the first day together with Azwaj and his family. It won’t the same as in Singapore where she would celebrate it with her sisters but hey, change is good sometimes…

So I’d be calling her tonight but somehow I know she’s gonna give me the answer like very close to the day itself.. sigh..for some reason she doesn’t like it here!!

Here’s hoping and praying she says “YES”

Cheerio…

Go Travel Already!

I’ve been talking about going on vacation so many times this year that you guys are most probably thinking.. “OK! Go travel already!”

Well, not as easy as that, I’m afraid. Firstly it’s the coming of the fasting month soon followed by the “Raya” month and then probably the “searching” house month and then further followed by the “moving” month. That would set us back to the December school holidays, which, by my standards is a “NO NO” holiday month simply because it’s the peak season for popular holiday spots and all prices would be sky high. Plus of course, all the places would be jam packed with people holidaying with their kids!

However that did not stop me from “window shopping” on good old Miss Fly. Azwaj and me have dreams of going to Europe one day. He wants to go to Amsterdam and I want to go Paris…and since we are there, we definitely want to go to London to see the Queen!

So there I was looking at some Hotels in London and their Hotel reservations charges and well, let me just say, me and Azwaj need to work a lot harder or win some lottery or something to realize this particular dream!

Cheerio…

Flight To Singapore?

I was chit chatting with Azwaj today on the possibility of taking a plane ride back to Singapore this time, especially if I am thinking of traveling during the fasting month. With all this fantastic flight deals being offered by lots of airlines, it might just be feasible and economical enough.

However, when looking back at the time it involves, I may just think twice about it.

Let’s see, on my end:

1. We need to be at the airport at least 1.5hrs before departure which means leaving the house an hour before that
2. Next there’s that 40minutes plane ride which is fine
3. Then upon arrival, 40minutes taxi ride to my home

All in all timing involved, about 4hours on my end.

On Azwaj’s side:

1. 1.5hours before departure, one hour ride to airport
2. one hour ride back home..

Time wasted for Azwaj, 3.5hour plus petrol.

If I were to take the coach, it would take about 6hours door to door for me and probably about 1.5hours for Azwaj and petrol savings as well..

Hmm.. I think the decision is made… coach for me.. after all I wander off to slumber land the moment I’m on board anyway..

Cheerio…
