Last month, my uncle and aunt came to Singapore. My wife and I entertained them. We took them to Sentosa island for the whole day. To give them the best view of the scenery, we walked a long distance. We could’ve taken the shuttle bus, but we didn’t. The walk was quite exhausting. We decided to have dinner on the island, but ended up at the restaurant too late and couldn’t order the main dishes. We could only order fruit, salad and snacks, which were rather expensive. Actually, we had other options. We could’ve taken a taxi to other restaurants. But we didn’t do that. Perhaps we were too focused on enjoying the scenery on foot and had assumed that basic stuff like food would always be available. Holidays are the best times to relax and go with the flow. It’s a time when we allow ourselves the liberty of not planning too much, which may also mean, eating pricey snacks and fruit for dinner when better restaurants are just a plan away.
