Just one more click

Bestie called me last night around 830pm,
and she mentioned that she saw on Zuji.com great deals,
for a short gateway to Bintan,
for only $99.

It got me excited and started to think,
wouldn't it be nice if i can just jet away.

So when i got to work at 1030pm,
i checked my roster and HEY!
my manager slotted my annual leave for Monday,
that means i will have 3 days off from work in a row,
so i called bestie and said
"Shall we go Bintan?!"

And without hesitation,
she said YES!
so we decided to call qin along, and she said "YES!" too,
omg.. it got me excited the whole night,
and the morning i got back, which is this morning.

i headed straight for my laptop and searched for the deal,
and oh boy, 
it was real,
$99 and i could have a short gateway with my girlies.

After i woke up,
about 6 in e afternoon,
discussed with my bestie and shiqin regarding the trip,
the costs,
the accommodation,
the ferry costs,
it will come to $133 per person.

But hey, still affordable.
So okie off i go,
to the website to book the hotel,
i swiftly filled up the details,
keyed my credit card details,
and i don't know why,
i hesitated for a long time.

read the terms and conditions,
cancellation policy,
something was missing still,
reluctant to press the Submit button,
i looked out of my window,
AND AH-HaH!
the weather forecast,
i will only go it there's sun, sea and surf.

Goodness gracious,
thank God i checked,
forecast from two websites: cloudy with thunderstorms

What a spoiler!
I was just one click away.

But internet news may not be accurate,
so i called Bintan lagoon resort and enquired,
true enough, the lady said:
" it has been raining for the past 3 days"

that was it, i closed the window.
