travel disappointments

Weather these days are so unpredictable, sunny afternoon turns into a heavy downpour in just a moment. The only good thing is, it brings about a better sleeping condition.

I've been planning many outings and overseas trips recently, but few barely works out. Either due to under-strength or the price is too high. Actually a few of us buddies are planning to go Sister's Island last weekend, but not much people are able to make it and the ferry charter fees are too expensive considering the headcount we have. 350$ for 6 person. Another disappointment is the August trip to Taiwan, the amazing hike in air ticketing price forbid us from going. Its close to 700$ just for the air ticket, simply out of our plans. Next is a trip to Cambodia in late August with a few of my colleagues. This is my fault for I overlooked the dates to book the air ticket. Return air ticket is only 148$ with all the tax included, cheap right? But I missed the date already, now the air ticket is close to 210$ instead.

Maybe that the difficult part considering the last minute planning for trips. But again, in early November, I may be having a trip to Sabah, Kota Kinabaru and Brunei. Still in the mist of plannings, hopefully this goes well.

Just caught a glims of Miss Universe 2008, live from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The city is beautiful, with the culture and amazing natural landscape. Hmmm, it seems like a nice place to go too, but I need to find interested personnel first. Btw, Miss Venezuela won. I really need a trip out of SG, in August and in September.. Really need a break from work..
