Calculative Neo

Now, i am sitting in Subway, chewing my sandwich, at the airport, waiting for my flight out to Bangkok at 12.25pm. I have made this trip extremely short.

3Days.

Usually, i will do the foreign exchange at the airport, without thinking much.
I always thought, if i change S$1 = THB 23 at somewhere else and i get S$1 = THB 22 at the airport. Why bother to change elsewhere? The airport is convenient and i'll be here anyway.
What can you do with THB1 also?

Where as today, i looked into my wallet, i have THB 700. Not enough for 3days.
So i calculated if i change S$200 how much i would get at the airport and how much i would get
outside the airport.

The difference is THB 300. <- Equivalent to a free 1hr foot massage!

Save money, save money is all around my head. But i'm really left with no choice so i still did the exchange.

Even Subway seems expensive. My meal today cost $S9.10.
While i paid for it i thought, "Wah.. $10 leh. So expensive".

Worst still, i miss home already.
I miss my wife, my boys and even wonder if my mum is resting well.

Haha. Omg, it'll be a long 3days for me.

Can't wait to get back. But what to do?
Daddy have to work to earn milk powder money wor.

Next week have to travel again, following week have to travel even longer.

If i were any more rash, i might quit my job so that i can stay home to accompany the boys.

But that would be stupid.
I have post delivery daddy syndrome.
