and the issues are interconnected,firstly your friend couldn't make it and it's not his/her fault but having someone to "already" going with you made the trip 50% to realization because your parents will have to let you go.
2nd issue: money. With the initial idea to borrow money from the parents and repaying them when you get a job was the idea situation. But hey hang on girl, where does ur parents' money from from? From their long hours at a hawker center stall. So are you sure you wanna go holiday while they slog? i am pretty there's a part of you who will be screaming like crazy in your mind but family strings pull u darn tight.
3rd issue: time. what if your potential interviewer calls you up when you are about to travel? what are ur ideal dates? you planned to be away late june because you could help your parents during this school holidays and be back say early july for job/job hunt. but wait, reality gives u another issue to face. YOUR BROTHER.
4th issue: your dearest brother is retaking his O lvl english as well as juggling with his poly studies. He'll be having his first poly assessment tests in 5 weeks' time WHICH IS THAT VERY SAME DATE THAT YOU WANNA TRAVEL! and you can't travel 1-2 weeks before because he'll be revising, the air tix are expensive, neither can you travel after that because you really need to get a job say in jul onwards.
5th issue: and your ownself thinks "why is it so hard to just to have a getaway, to chill before i start my chapter next in life?" all these ain't anyone's fault because your bro didn't plan to flunk his paper, your friend didn't plan to be unavailable for your grad trip. And if traveling isn't planned now, when will i have have the luxury of time in the future? And while you try to calm down but sometimes couldn't help to think about traveling, these 5 things go in circle in ur head.
so how?
CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT IT ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN. YOU AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE!
and yes, the starting to convince yourself to discard your want is pretty hard, just think of better things to do in sg and find a job. Maybe, when you earn big bucks and then you can declare a holiday for yourself.
and this so-called-freedom is with strings attached.
can you imagine that situation? it's okie if you don't, there's a living example to experience it already.
