to travel or not....

Traveling - I guess I have to stash that away now. Even with quite reasonable air ticket from Air Asia to Asean Countries, I find it quite hard to make time to travel and see the world :(

Of course in college it was sooo much easier, everybody has the same semester break, so travel arrangement can be made waaaaay in advance. Usually December travel was made in October while summer travel was made in March. Now, with the unpredictable work schedule, it is hard to make travel arrangement when the travel date is 6 months in the future. Plus, it's quite hard to synchronize the traveling date with your travel buddy. Maybe I should be courageous enough to travel alone. Yikes, it's too scary... Maybe it's another reason to get married, so that your husband is obligated to accompany you travel (even though he doesn't want to). Heheheheh.....

Oh... and here's another reason to get hitch, they let married people go home early in Ramadhan as early as 2.30 (for those who start work at 7.30am). The singles can only leave at 5, which would get home at 6, like 20 minutes before "buka puasa". I guess cooking is out of the question. Plus, there's nothing wrong with contributing to the local economy by buying food at Pasar Ramadhan :)

Anyway... Selamat berpuasa peeps...

i encounter the same problem, uji. see, my family selalu pergi vacation every year. this year i was lucky sebab tak busy sangat, so i can come. but last year i had to stay at home alone! susah betul la. kadang2 baca paper, tgk harga ticket murah.. mcm best je. to plan is another thing, to find a travel buddy is another. yeah, maybe u're right.. we should get married, then boleh heret husband je :)

but singles have families too.... so kenapa tak boleh balik same time mcm married people. we also have to help our mom with berbuka preparations apa.... i think it's quite unfair, don't u think so? it's like we're being 'punished' for not being married.

rozanna: i totally agree with u... It's such a punishment for the singles that we can't go back early :( Hey, singles have to help out in the kitchen alsolah kan?

ulai: Only married people can go back early. The single-tons go back at normal office hour. That's ok, I go home at lunch break and snooze a bit :P
