A little calculation for the next trip

So far, I have finally booked all the flights - yes its plural because I will be boarding not 2 but 6 flights altogether in 10 days. Crazy? Yes but mainly because either I have no choice or its cheaper than train. Amazing right? And I save more time too.


KUL - VTE : RM184.00
VTE -  LPQ: RM206.77 (while there are cheaper alternative such as bus, I would save up to 11 hours)
LP - HN - RM500 vs a bus ride that is 24 hours
HN - DAD - RM130 (cheaper and shorter time than train)
DAD - SGN - RM130 (cheaper and shorter time than train)
SGN - KUL - RM176.31

All in all, before even departing, I have spent more than 1K on transport alone. Makes me wonder if I really did the right and cheap thing. But then again if I look at it from the point that I am visiting two countries and not just touch and go to the capital cities but rather explore the country...is it too much of a price to pay? I suppose I can and I will skim on the places to stay and such. Could I do it all under 2K?

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...
