oh dad, oh mum

urgghhh......it is so frustrating planning a trip.
i still haven't found cheap tickets for shanghai. the cheapest is still airasia at around rm1400 return but the only snag is, they only reach hangzhou and there will be 3.5 hours bus ride to shanghai upon reaching.
malaysia airlines' price is around rm1800. china southern also flies from klia to shanghai and i think the price is slightly cheaper than malaysia airline, but the travel agent quoted me rm1800. so no difference.
i am now looking at other alternative that is flying out via singapore. i know china eastern fly to shanghai from singapore....so now looking for singapore contact.
every weekend when i come back and i see dad, i will automatically think of the shanghai trip. stress stress stress

so it is mother's day today. and noooo.....i am not going to dedicate a post for mom. i can't express myself in public. just can't....not brought up to do that.
but of course, mom is mom and we know she worries and fusses about us. she cooks, she washes, she tidies, she nags, etc.
my siblings and i got a moisturiser set for mom as mother's day gift. hope she will happily use it. hahaha....
no cake for the celebration because it will all end up in my stomach.
and although i am not a mom, i still get mother's day wishes. wakakaka....kids call me their 'mom'. i wonder if i do really mother them so much. in a way, that is an honour right? kinda touching to get mother's day wish today.

euro and pounds update- pounds is around rm4.93 few days ago and euro has dropped to rm4.20. time to buy and keep.....if there is so much extra cash lying around. most money changers are running out of euro. england and europe is definitely on travel plan right? so go and save some rm to buy euro and pounds now.

Yar, they'll only hangzhou. When you reach there, u can not only use the bus ride, but also the train, tis ll be faster. i got the train time schedule. if u want i can give you n about the transportation. but nvm if u want to fly from singapore. =)

sorry 4 late reply ah! I helped my dad n mum to book the tickets n the hotel there.
Yar, go 2 hangzhou first n the train fare is cheaper there, about rm50 per person.It's very fast too. yep, very convenient cuz there are lots of stops there n the station got many hotels, restaurants,shops...around it.
Well, seems like u had decided to go there via Sg lines rite? Happy flight!
