        I regretted not bringing my mum for more tours when she was still around.
        She visited Japan with us and wanted to visit again. But I didnt fulfil her wish.

              Korea! Good choice.

              Two friends gave up on Japan because the air ticket prices for Japan shot up a lot !!!

              A Pilates classmate flew to Jeju Island via direct flight from SG. She said that previously, tourists could only take internal flights from Korea to Jeju.

                Oh dear , my mum also gave me black face before when we went hk some yrs back . First few days argued with my father then last few days with me … I think when old , dun give too much opinions n comments will be more harmonious… my hub said he will remind me next time when I m old so the kids dun “ suffer”
                Let the young people have choice n freedom since if they are already matured adults ( > 24)
                Thank you Pillow. 家家有本难念的经.

                  Don't blame yourself for those things that were happened in the past. 旧梦不须记....

                    MIL expressed interests in visiting Japan as her SIL & nephews are there. I’m still feeling the guilt everytime I was planning for this Europe trip. DS wants UK. So, thankfully DH agreed to take her to Ipoh first for a few days of Ipoh food, then he drives down to Cameron.

                    S’times, we’ve not much choices & need to weigh options. Thankfully, MIL u’stands fully DS’s objective in meeting frds & exploring studies. She’s so generous to mention that I need not worry abt his expenses as she’ll sponsor his interests to study anything he wishes.

                    Looking at her good health in her 80s, I certainly hope to travel & care for get, hv fun with her & build valuable memories with her. Really my role model, as she has been signing up for exercises at different centres & church. At her age, still so much energy & wish to live well.

                    Hope I’ll take the same attitude, and hv just started to join our church’s outreach for seniors with every alternate weekday exercises, just before my trip. We’ll start again after Christmas rest.

                      Earlier this year, I have my wish of bringing mom along for the long holiday. But there were few considerations, so ended up I didn’t. My mom haven’t been to many countries tho she has stayed with us at one place where she has experienced at least 3 seasons. I hope able to do that going forward with those smaller pockets of school holidays. I feel that mainly due to some family dynamics, sometimes I can choose A or B only.

                        Both dh & I have had tough times with mil and my mom too. As we age, we started to try overlooking those not so happy events. My mil, I feel never liked me. And my mom has episodes with my dh too. But dh always tell me must understand the elderly. And sometime last year dh revealed to me that he and my mom have been greeting each other good morning every day. And I, the less 细心的女儿no wor.
