Its just so suay lor. If our trip was just one week earlier, we would have still made it. But noooooo….its just fated that we cannot go ahead with it. XIAN!!!
Earlier remember my sis and I had booked the trip to Bangkok? It was supposed to happen this Fri – coming Mon. All along, the H1N1 situation in Thailand had been ok ok one….about like less than 30 per week. Then dunno out of a sudden, last week, it shot like 8 freaking times above normal, and they have 100 plus cases. Yesterday, it finally 突破 300 cases. Yes, the word they used was 突破. Machem like Olympics, some country 突破 xx 金牌. Wah lau.
Today, Thailand is officially listed as one of the affected countries on MOH website. Hence the advice is “to prevent non-essential travel” to these countries. Sian…just when we were about to depart. Actually I wouldn’t have minded so much (as in would still proceed), but my sis being a teacher, not very civic-minded to go and with school about to start, really not a sensible thing to do lor. I’m like ok cos at most I can just self-quarantine for 7 days after we return…I’ve got tons of leave anyway.
Gosh I so wish we had stuck to our Sentosa plan. At least its something. I even bought travel insurance liao lor, wonder if I can claim anything? Haha…must ask ET!!!
And the best part. This is our second attempt in trying to go on a trip together. The first (to Japan) we also have to cancel. And guess when it was?
2003. SARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the title goes, it takes a pandemic to stop us 2 sisters to travel overseas together. Wah lau! My colleagues was saying to inform them whenever we plan to go overseas. Then they will die die avoid going the same period.
How FARNIE.
