Bila ada duit...

Basically translated to "When money permits..."
Whenever I came across friends sharing their holiday journey, I asked myself, why can't I have that. Where has all Hubby's money gone to at the end of the month that we can barely have some for a family vacation? Then I remembered the conversation we had on our way back from BJ. Turns out we don't have the extra cash because we spent a lot on huge purchase like our home, our Hilux, ours and kids insurances.. etc, which accumulated to almost 70% of our monthly income. His sole income. The rest of the money goes to bills, groceries, shopping if needed. Basically we spent a lot for things now so that we can retire rich! Hahaha...
As for family vacations, every year we have PD trip during CNY. And now we can add trips to CH for the next 3 years. Even though Hani has yet to have her own passports, I'm pretty sure we would be happy even if she doesn't have one. Besides, she's too young to remember any trip we make. Heheh..
As far as the holidays are concern, I don't think it's that important if we ended up with holes in our pockets. It is supposed to be a holiday, a break from work. But why would anyone want to come home with huge debt in their accounts? Hahaha.. I know some people who actually planned these holidays and took quite an amount of loan for it. But I salute those who can actually go for trips and make sure everyone have fun with limited RMs being spent. Wonder if I can do that for mine in the future.
Bila ade duit kan sayang? We'll enjoy ourselves like no one's business and brag about it. Hahaha.... And this is a promise... not the bragging part of course.
