doggydimon I haven't tried jet star yet but I want to. I haven't been hearing any negative feedback from them for the past few years unlike their mother company. So I guess they are doing well in terms of service and performance.

doggydimon I try to work hard for 3 or 4 months. After that, I reward myself with a vacation in some place that is new or haven't been to before. Depending on the budget, that vacation may last 3-6 day.
