2011 Daily Cost For SEA Travel?

[yy]

Ok, but first I have to work out my finances. Haha.

Yeah same goes to me as well haha. But you know its not easy as the news on tv just mention that the electricity have now increased to another 6%. I wonder how about the others basic necessarily as well.

Not sure about how much the inflation is going to affect me and my cousin's prospective plans for SEA, but the trip is far from even half decided. Either I'm going with her as a pair or I'm going alone. She had told me she did not really enjoy going on overseas trips with people she did not know so that's that. If I am going to be alone, I may not go after all, cos it is looking more and more like most, if not all of my coursemates, are going to be working on our full-year thesis so it looks like risky business for me to be the outlier. So now, the chances of me going is lower now. I guess I will likely just stick to my small Oz trips; saves time and money.

Me either, I've been thinking what will things going to be like for the next 3 to 4 months. Yesterday Japan experienced another after shocks and the multitude scale were around 7. If the situation worsen, it will affect the supply chains and globally.

I think I do need to adjust some calculation on my hands....Maybe I'm overthinking and the situation may not turn out for the worst after all.

I cannot agree that our power price has to follow international oil prices, though most of our power is produced by natural gas.

PJ so how and what are we going to do if you cannot agree that our power price has to follow international oil prices?

There are a few things that we can do. The 2 most practical ways are:

1. Use less power (no aircon, shower quick etc, I think our SG Power has been emphasising for years)
2. Buy a capacitor to bring down the apparent power (VAr) as low as possible, but can't make it perfect.

However as far as I know, once international oil prices increases. Everything will follow suit sooner or later...like how to cut down on public transport? Is it going to use bicycle to cycle to work. And I believe it will save the both of the worlds...most important is to cut down on air pollution and help to save the earth.
