All Because Of Snow

My eldest sis-in-law will be flying to London for winter holiday with her grandchildren and will be staying with my other in-laws there for five weeks. When I first heard about it, I was so excited and asked for my gal tag along. My two elder sons are not interested to experience winter, while my third son cannot be out of the country for so long as he has to report to his new school before Xmas. When I spoke to my gal, naturally she was excited at the prospect of experiencing real snow and meeting her cousin. And then, reality struck. A discussion with my husband laid out various pros and cons. We talked to our gal and she understood. My husband would only allow her to go if I go too. That is the impossible part because I cannot be away for so long. It is not just about leaving my husband and sons behind but I cannot leave my work for too long too. So, the next thing I did was to ask my colleague if there is snow in December in Seoul as she was there last year. She excitedly told me about her kids' first snow experience. My gal has only been to the Snow Walk at I-City Shah Alam. I do not know what to expect in Seoul. I am not into any K-Pop stuff. I have to travel without my husband as he cannot get leave. As much as I want to book the tickets now to indulge my gal to pursue her snow dream, I am feeling 50-50 about it. The prospect of going to a place where English is not spoken much and Halal eateries are not plentiful make me feel doubtful if I can survive a week there with my gal. Once again, I talked to my gal. She is a very nice and easy-to-please child. She is also not into K-Pop. The only reason why Seoul was chosen was because it is the closest that we can experience real snow. Now, the planning is back to the comfort of KL. It will not be just KL but like in June 2014, we will explore Shah Alam again as well as the laid-back Banting town. Add in Putrajaya as well since my relative is working at Pullman and can get me a good hotel rate. Then again, Jetstar's return fare for Jakarta at SGD 64 is very tempting. Not to mention, Batam's SGD 0 promotion (just pay taxes at SGD 28 two-way) is also tempting. Time to go to bed now. Tomorrow is the start of a new assignment. I need to be fresh and hyper for it.
