Initially has planned to go Taipei with my fren this coming Fri.
However, decided to call off the trip due to Swine Flu :( Though Taipei has not been hit (yet), but better to play safe since I've got 2 kids at home.
Furthermore, mum has been nagging me non stop ever since I told her about my trip. According to her... it's machiam I'll SURE kena from the flu if I go to Taipei. She even said "Later you cannot see your kids, very cham one leh".
Ok... she wins.
SQ side..... allow postpone of trips (which was my initial plan). However, the max period they allow is1 MONTH grace. Meaning.... if I choose to postpone... I have to travel by 6 Jun, no matter wat. Chey.
Of cos, they also allow cancellation. Which I prompty did so. Since I've no wish to travel by 8 June and I seriously doubt that the flu will be cleared by then.
Hotel wise... they are quite inflexible. They dun allow postponed and when we wanted to do cancellation, we have to forfeit our rental. :( Heng my fren choose a 3* hotel... where we only paid 300+ for 4 nites (for 2 pax). So, the lost is not that HUGE.
Haiz.... so.... no travelling for now. No Tokyo. No Paris. No watsoever. Maybe..... SENTOSA for Matt's forthcoming bd?

P, dun worry am sure by june should be clear lah since HK really take it seriously to wipe out spreading the flu this time.
luckily your loss for hotel quite limited.... SQ only allows 1 month postponing? what if situation doesn't clear by then? sounds silly....
U can always go again :) somewhere Further then!? :)
