Holidays!!! Finally here. Not as excited as I would have hoped but I guess it beats studying all day for exams. I was wondering the other day, the reason I stayed here, was because I wanted to save money. Referring to air fare, but would I really have saved money? Airfare is about $900 odd two way? And when I'm in Singapore I'll probably spend money shopping, eating, just like I would here. And I'll probably spend more on shopping and eating here, since prices are higher, and the exchange rate is stronger. Then I'm having road trips and camps, that's like AU$700 right there, maybe more. And maybe another $100 odd for small travels to the suburbs. With the exchange rate at an average of 1.3, I think it's safe to say the plan to safe money has backfired. Parents should really be educated on the cost-benefit analysis model before making their decisions.
On a side note, and to copy a line from Friends,"Nothing rhymes with Loon, so I'm screwed anyway."
