Weekend in Batam: Documenting Our 3-Days Family Adventure

My Inspiration Behind This Trip I’ve always held onto a personal goal: to bring my parents on at least one proper trip out of Singapore every year. Something that would give them that genuine holiday excitement; that specific thrill of packing a proper suitcase and getting their passports stamped at the border. My dad actually has a long bucket list of places he’d love to see. But realistically, time and age are catching up, and we have to be very mindful of my mum’s physical pace, mental and stamina as well. Long-haul flights just aren't as feasible anymore, so I have to be intentional about finding destinations that are comfortable yet exciting for them. The spark for this specific trip happened when I passed my dad a pile of Batam travel brochures.

My Retirement Plan

Well... I am sick and tired of working.  I set my plan to retire at the age of 55 years old. Just have to struggle thru 24-25 more years. I shall execute this plan from 1 April 2012 onwards, 24 years to my retirement. Damnit!

One important thing to keep in mind is: Never b a materialistic woman.

Why? Because the more u want to compare with others, the more money spent on unnecessity.  The more u tink of wanting this and that, money fly away from u.

I must b a simple lady. Real simple lady. Clothes wear till old and spoilt then buy. Dun b scare to wear same clothes every week. Mayb can put on our thinking cap more often, how to mix and match our existing clothes so that we would look the same every week. Hahahahah.  Most impt is I mus b at least slimmer than before so that I can wear those existing clothes in my wardrobe, which has not been touched since the day I put on weight. Save money!  Travel twice a year will do. N I make sure is a 1 week trip, for mi to enjoy e fullest.

I will save half of my take home salary every month x 12 mths x 24 yrs = my retirement amt.  Whether have kids or not, this is fate. Bt my plan will still go ahead.
