TURKEY ADVENTURE (5-15th sept)

Very quickly, we move towards the ending of Day 4 of our Turkey trip! It's also the day of Gala Dinner!

The past few days were amazing!!! Like super!
A whole adventure of beautiful sights, deep history and colourful culture!

And this is just istanbul! Covered all the touristy areas like the Grand Bazaar, Spice Market and Blue Mosque.. Just to name a few...

Simply spectacular la! Words nt enough to describe it... Oh! The best so far wld be the Bosphorous Tour... A simply awesome 2hr yatch ride!!

So anyway, tonight is Gala Dinner nite! In the midst of preparation now.

Actually had this idea to blog when I was showering earlier because there's something I wanna note down for memory sake or rather for future reference!


Ok so thing is, tonight is the last night of what AIA technically pays for. If you're not doing a post extension, tmr is Go Home Day..

N in our grp, 2 of the mamas are going home. Honestly I'm nt sure of the ReAL reason why they're nt doing the extension.

They did say something abt their kid. Or how it's nw the school holidays this wk and all...

So here's the thing tt went thrgh my mind earlier:
Will I one day cut short a trip or change a major travel plan because of my kid (at this point of cos assuming tt I'll be blessed with at least 1 child.. :) ]?

N this was what went thrgh my mind next:
Yes, the child is important.. I'll miss out on precious time with him/her.. Time I'll never get back.

But so is a trip.
N something I learnt thrgh this trip is 'You better travel to as many places as possible before yr legs start to fail u.. N of cos before health becomes an issue too!'

I'll digress here a little to specify tt a trip is what I'm doing now.. Travel to multiple places or packing in sooo many things a day it becomes a TRIP.. But a vacation or holiday is one where u just nua n relax. Super little activity or just plain minimal..


Ok back to main point.. So this is the thing I want my future self to read if it ever comes to that situation...

When I have to choose between a trip n my child, choose the trip!
The child of cos has to be in the care of someone I trust.

Because one day when the kid is older, he'll take a trip without a second thought abt leaving YOU at home ALONE!!

Hahah... So yes, go travel. Widen my sights n knowledge and go home to be a better mum for my child with that!

I know it's so much easier to say tt now.. So I'm hoping I can have the heart to srill stick to this thought if one day I have to choose..

Ok, abrupt end cos I really gotta start on my makeup proper!

Here's to another fantastic 7 days ahead!! :)
