I have been resisting buying air tickets to anywhere and everywhere. Twice, I nearly got to the point where I entered my credit card details. Twice, I had the willpower to pull out. Main reason: To save money for the year end trip and to try to save substantially after all the monthly trips in the first half of the year.
I have always wanted to bring my family members on a holiday and had put aside 5k to make that happen. Dad's condition meant that we had to wait for a while. In place of that, we will try a one night warm up to Sentosa, I thought.
In the end, I booked a terrace sea view room for my parents at Rasa Sentosa. That room is the closest type of room to the private (ya right) beach and we can supposedly see beautiful sunsets from our spacious balcony. It was expensive and painful to pay that much for a one nighter. But I always tell myself that I can always get back that money, but for my parents to experience something amazing, the amount is worth it.
Happy that I resisted booking something for myself for the few days break in Sept, though a $400 ticket to Sydney seemed really enticing. Shall patiently wait till year end.
Laters.
