Pre-vacation blues....

Well, I haven't book any flight tickets yet as well as confirmed the holiday destinations. In fact, I am thinking of where to go ...err... to be exact, the whole family was thinking of where to go for a sabbatical break during year end, including my two small kids. We went to several tour agencies, make some inquiries and got brochures back to consider. Well, since I am the only breadwinner of the family, the trip has to be affordable and which means will be somewhere near.

Thus, here are the remarks made by the four of us, including my kids ... yes... as these little monsters can wreck havoc to your plans if they are not happy!!!

1. hmm... the place safe or not as some incidents just happened (you know where....)
2. That place too hot leh. .. I heard from dunno who said they don't feel like going out as its too hot...
3. aiyo...beach again ah .... 
4. heard the public toilets very dirty there ... the people over there are like that , anyhow anyhow ...
5. cruise again ? boring le...
6. Very crowded la ..that place..
7. Flight too long la...

hahaha... Very troublesome right? Well, I guess I just need to calm down (better still, after a workout and shower), closed my eyes , sit on my bed and meditate on it.  Btw, there's also some datelines to meet by the agencies for the tours. I thought going on a planned tour is better and hassled free, since I got two little monsters with us, compared to those land tours. And, mentioning about datelines, some relatives also wanted to follow us but when we asked them for confirmation, all diam-diam (silence).

 Btw, haze is better due to two heavy downpours for two consecutive days here but I am still working out in the gym. I probably go  for a run tomorrow evening if its still clear and finished work early. Oh... it's been a while I had a ramen and I went for a Sapporo Miso Tonkotsu Ramen.


Have a good weekend!!

  4. I understand where you are coming from.. A lot of people I know, they go vacation every year, but this year, they decided to stay home, or just go nearby, like to a different state only..

  5. hah..hah..before take vacation got blues, after vacation, post-vacation blues pulak. It's quite difficult to please everyone in the family. Nowadays, kids have a say in most decision making. Not like during my time, whatever our parents decide, we just quietly follow. Hope you guys can agree on a place soon.

    1. Phong - aiya....nowadays very difficult. If they don't like the place where you are, they will spoils your plans. Having said that, most of our holidays are family friendly.

  6. well, just take in their considerations to help you decide where to go.. since you are the only one working and are going to pay for the trip, you decide where and when, and the rest just follow.. go or not go, that's it.. haha!! D

  16. I have gone overseas for travels with best friends and close relatives on different occasions.
    I swore that were the lasts and no more. Even follow the cruise or tours also could be a nuisance!
    They have no back bones and like to be followers but never shut their mouths with complaints hurled
    to me as if it was my doing. I have put all these silly people in the history.

    I have been enjoying my many holidays with just my wife who could be the most wonderful and understanding friend too! I have made plans to visit Japan in November and February, both for Winters. You need me to plan for you kah????
