Imagine, stay in Sillypore, pay higher than usual price during festive season price? Or go to a country where most stuffs are lower in price, which is more worthy?

1 dollar buy only 1 apple and 1 dollar buy 3 apples. Big difference.

When ferry ticket used to be S$48, i look hard for lower price (S$28 or lower).

When ferry ticket is now S$73.00, i also do the same (S$64 and/or lower).

Recently hear 1 of my client said this to me...

"There are people who make things happen. There are also people who just watch things happen and even many more who do not know what happen."

I try to make things happen (whatever enjoyment that suits me most is BEST).

I choose not to pay higher tho.

Hehehe....my choice.

PS : i booked my hotel few months ago, so i am not caught in the rat race for the highly price today. Surprisingly hotel in Batam didn't increase much this CNY 2023 as compared to before covid time.

I hope i have the time to do so.

Before covid time, i used 10 to 11 months to prepare for my JUST 1 CNY trip of the year, hehehe...this CNY year i only have 3 to 4 months to prepare. Hopefully all goes well.

Priority is still, to try to have a good time.

Why not go next day, which is the 1st day of CNY?


See, so many space. No need rush.

But come back Singapore that time need to be careful.

I try to avoid the crowd.

3 more days to CNY 2023.
