a week breezed on by..

i requested Thursday off and i got it. in addition, they gave me a Monday off as well. =) but then again, the roster came abit too late that YM's not able to apply off. oh well, i guess it would prolly be ultimate nuahing at home.

for the Melb-Perth trip, we're still in the midst of dillemma to proceed or not. at this moment, this trip might be overbudget if we're to add in Perth. i mean, considering the lodging, air tix, taxes and expenses for both states, it might be quite overbearing. however, i didn't like to go over melbourne only for like 5 days as i thought it's quite short for a getaway. and also, it's abit pointless to extend more than a week just at Melb coz' it's a city after all.

i wanted to go Ozie was purely coz' i don't wish to go ANYWHERE which is going through summer at the moment. SG is already quite warm on most days, no point going over to another country and sweat our way through. after all, it supposed to be chill out and not sweat out.

but then again, if we're to wait till the end of the year, it would be summer @ Ozie. worse still, if we're to wait for the next Winter there, there won't be any "tour guide" for us then, as Bellie and Ra will be back in SG.

so now, we're finding an alternative. it's either go Melb alone (which is quite stupid as i've realised that there isn't too big difference if we're to opt for Perth & MElb) or skip the whole Ozie affair and go somewhere else.

also, there would be an alternative where we wait for a while longer, when we're not so tight then. that will prolly be during Aug or Sept. after all, we're quite rush when we wanted to go Ozie. but till then, i'm afraid that YM might not be able to apply for leave as he would be under probation if he signed on Air Force.

so many factors right??

anyways, roster below:

Mon - OFF
Tues - Full
Wed - Full
Thurs - OFF
Fri - Full
Sat - Afternoon @ BJ (bleah!)
Sun - Morning @ BJ

AND i finally talked to my dad about my studies!! at first he was telling me that he's not sure if he has the money to give me coz' of the divorce dispute over his assets. but at least he asked me the details like how much to pay for the 1st semester, the length of studies and also the total cost.

i was sincerely hoping he would help me for the 1st sem. then the remaining sems, i would take up a loan. 1stly, it's abit too last minute to apply a loan now especially when the closing date is so near; 2ndly, even with the slightest assistance from my Dad would ease the loan altogether; 3rdly, i only took up a small part of his savings and the remaining sum, he would still be able to handle my mum.

sometimes, i can't help feeling so trapped between being filial and a blood-sucking kid who always spend parent's hard-earned cash on the most basic and valid reason - studies.
