I just want to go on a holiday!
It has been a good seven, almost eight months since I went for a trip and I desperately want to go on a holiday. Friends around me know that I have been ranting about going on a holiday since end March and up 'til now, nothing is happening because of various situations. I mean, I just want to go on a holiday, why does it have to be so difficult?
First of all, I planned a trip to Hongkong with Joshua which was suppose to take place last week. Eventually, it was shot down by my mum who refused to allow me to go on a holiday with Joshua. Because she says we are not married so why should we go on a holiday together?! In other words, she is conservative or she just doesn't trust us. Ok, whatever, so we didn't make the trip.
Anyway, what got me boiling was today.
My godmother mentioned about going for a short trip to Bangkok. No doubt, I was keen. Then she said she had to check her daughter's schedule. Fine. I just don't understand why two, or rather three working adults have to adhere to a teenager's schedule. It just doesn't make sense to me. To cut the long story short, my godmother did a booking for a 4D3N trip to Bangkok today without informing me. She only smsed me after she made the reservations. Worse still was that she did not even give me any details of the trip until I called her. What happens is that I will leave Singapore on Saturday night at 9pm and come home on Tuesday afternoon. What the fish?! That means I only have two full days in Bangkok! Fine. Two full days, so be it. The worse thing was that I have to pay $510 for this trip, exclusive of insurance.
I am not going to pay $510 for such a trip! It is daylight robbery. It is more expensive than if I take Jetstar and stay in a three star hotel for four nights. It just doesn't make economical sense to me. I have the finances but I do not want to spend my money in such a manner. I don't need a four star hotel or breakfast. I can stay in a budget hotel and find my own breakfast. I want to spend my money wisely and why should I adhere to a teenager's schedule?!
I was absolutely outraged. I am not going. Full stop.
