Sleepover Aftermath

There wasn't much of an aftermath haha, I just thought it'd be a nice title~

Anyways, the sleepover went well! My favourite part of the sleepover was actually watching Insidious Chapter 2. I was hooked right from the beginning.

It wasn't so much the movie than the sound effects that really spooked me. 

We also watched my favourite 'Psych,' but it ended up running for quite a while. I thought the episodes usually last around 40 minutes so when I came home and checked the running time, episode 1 was 66 minutes long and episode 2 was 44 minutes. It then began to dawn on me that season premiers are usually much longer than the subsequent episodes! 

Oh well, at least they got a taste of Psych!

Sleepover

I used to have sleepovers as a kid with my cousins but as we grew older, we grew further apart and the sleepovers kinda stopped. What I've missed about the sleepovers though, are the watching of movies dead in the night and early in the morning. Eating the home cooked meals by my wonderful aunt and playing with their pets. What I DON'T miss though was the toilet at my cousin's home. It was always filled with the smell of cats' piss. Notice CATS' with s then apostrophe. They had like 6 cats or so at that time. Don't get me wrong, I love cats. I love patting them and playing with them but I don't want the responsibility of owning one. Much like babies. You love playing with them and pinching their soft cheeks but when they start crying, you just want to pass them back to their parents to handle it all.

As a result of that, I've always tried as much as possible to wait until I return home to shower since I lived only a few blocks away haha

And now, as of yesterday, I will be having a sleepover!!! And it will be at Chloe's house with Joeslyn as well! And there will be a MOVIE MARATHON! WHAT UP YO!!

I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW THEM MY FAVE MOVIE!!!!

Telunas I'm Coming for Yooooooooooooou

I'll finally be introducing to my family, Telunas, the place I've been telling them so much about the first time I went there. Read the following post if you missed it.

Telunas is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, definitely somewhere you would want to go for a cheap relaxation trip. 9 people for only SGD2600.00 and this includes accommodation, food and travel! Plus a river tour and pizza making that I arranged for. Hopefully, my family will enjoy their time here. 

My only worry or so to say, 'irritation' would be my dad. He loves comparing places and making mountains out of molehills. It's super frustrating. I would love for him to just soak in the moment and enjoy the surroundings. Would have to tell him THAT before we leave LOL

Can't wait for the clear water beach!! 5 weeks more, 5 weeks more :)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll love someone so much that my heart wrenches every time I think of him. I've been watching 'My Love who came from the Stars' and have been so mesmerised by Kim Soo Hyun that I stopped watching it for the time being because my admiration and adoration for him has became too much to handle.

For god's sake, I was even dreaming about him 2 nights in a row! The first dream, I was trying to get him to fall in love with me in any way possible and in the second dream, we were in a relationship <3

I realised that this foolishness needed to stop because in the real world, we would never meet. It was so depressing for me that he'll never be mine that I really had to stop watching the show. This is the first time a freaking TV character made me feel this way. No wonder he has taken Asia by storm!

I think once I've controlled myself, I would be able to continue the drama.

So for now, Kim Soo Hyun, get out of my mind! I love you too much!

3 Tips When Booking Through a Travel Agency

In the past 3 days where I was working under a travel agency as a flier/brochure girl, I managed to learn a thing or two about travel agencies and their deals. Whether it was through a customer or other sales people themselves, the insights they gave were definitely something to think about:

1. Better Free and Easy or Land Tour than take a full package guided tour. Usually, the agencies jack up the air prices for tours. If it was 500 dollars, they'd do a mark up or in simpler terms, increase the price to 560 or 600 so that they can earn the profit. So at the end of the day, it is better to buy your own air ticket.
   
2. Never fully trust a 1 for 1 package deal. Usually, it would be like this: '1 for 1 deal! Fr. $889'
   
   See that Fr.? In case you don't know, that's FROM. Which means that it does not include surcharges and taxes that can be up to an additional two hundred or so. Then sometimes there would be additional charges for the other person too since you need to charge individuals for their airport taxes. By the end of the day, you're actually paying enough for two people =_= Maybe more since that dang travel agency needs to earn some profit no?
   
3. Cheap Tours. Let me explain what i mean by this. I was looking at another travel agency for their Korean Land Tour (buy own air ticket and sometimes accommodation as well) and they had this one tour at the Namsan Tower at SGD 60. Slowly skimming the attractions they wanted to showcase to the tourists, I realised that everything was free except lunch which would be paid for. Every other thing was absolutely FREE. So basically, I would be paying 60 freaking dollars for lunch which would have costed less than 10 considering the exchange rate. I might as well just throw my money into the bin! So one thing to take note of, make sure you pay for a tour that doesn't wholly include just tours that are FOC. Because if it is, you might as well go there yourself, plus you would still be holding on to your money.
