I'm back with full of excitment waiting out there....

Long time no see. How's everyone out there?

I have confirmed that I'm not going back to Malaysia this year. As you knew that, my mum and sis will be here in May. 

Just to update you guys as well, my parents in law will be here too in October. So, we plan not to go back and will be flying off to Bali for a short break. 

How's Bali comes across my mind?

Supposedly, my husband and I will be staying in Perth city's hotel (for fun and relaxing) on 30th June 2012. Due to certain circumstances, I have to cancel off the reservation. So, I was trying to search for a another day and luck is on my side, I manage to lock that in on 16th Mar 2012. Ya, you're right! That's tomorrow...
 
Since I'm in the booking already, I was attempting to look for accommodation in Bali or Sydney/ Melbourne. I realized that it's cheap to stay in Bali. Again without second thought, I booked that in for 2 different hotels in Bali. 

After all, only I submitted my leave but the scheduler told me that she might not be able to approve because there are two-staffs on annual leave.  I'm a bit upset about it. Who knows, on 14h Mar, she emailed me that I could book my flight. What a relief!

Of course, it's time to book my flight! It's $100 different from what i viewed a day ago.  :( Why not Jetstar? Previously, I tried  and it was so much expensive and already given up. But still, something telling me that I should try. Guess what, I managed to secure another $100 for the trip.



P/S: I'm really kinda "po zai"  type of person. I would love to go for holiday trip but still I want to save up as much I could. That's me... See Ming Lee 李思慜. Hehehe...
