And just like that, the eldest son had completed the foundation coursework although there's concern he might fail one subject and therefore having to repeat a semester. Fortunately, he passed, by a whisker. Meanwhile, he has two months break and I'm encouraging him to do some meaningful activity rather than coop up at home, mostly playing games or lazing. It's one thing to say yet whether he's receptive is another matter. At work, I can set a direction for others to follow. As a parent, my words do not yield equal influence. I think most of us are caught in a similar situation.
After three intensive days of research, the itinerary for an upcoming holiday was finalized. The initial planning had begun three months prior and details were sketchy then. I showed a draft to the wife and she scrubbed off half the schedule since her preference was to go to a different part of the holiday destination. So I went about filling in the blanks while trying to retain some of the hotels already booked. In this exercise, there was a realization. It's indeed cheaper to pre-book hotels much earlier. There's savings of an average $50-$100 per night! Another tip would be to utilize cashback deals currently offered by Trust card which also gave better exchange rates. Also, opt to pay now rather than a later date as the charged foreign currency amount would translate to higher SGD.
