To go or not to go??

I'm in a dilemma..

I've decided not to go New Zealnd for my hike as it exceeds my budget. Instead I'll go to some place that cost lesser (in term of air tickets) and do a free-and-easy on my own. Between Taiwan and Macau, I've decided on Macau. Macau is a good place to go as it is small enough to walk and done exploring within a couple of days, the air fare is less than SGD$300, while the hotels are less than SGD80 per night! So for a 5-6 days trip, it shouldn't cost me more than SGD$1K.

Now, I've been thinking.. Should I just take that 1 weeks' leave and stay at home? Save on all the expenses (including air tixs and accommodations), and just watch movies/play (online/PC/Playstation) games/'rot' at home? But part of me wanted to go away to destress.. But still the notion of spending money on a place that wasn't my first choice tour destination doesn't seem very attractive/convincing. Should I travel to Macau just for the sake of traveling or should I just shelf the whole plan and stay at home?? Mmmm.....

If I do get to go Japan for my Masters, then I would have the time to travel around. Think summer and winter holidays! =) During that time, it would be a shame that I do not have the financial means to support my travel lust.. Like they used to say: "While at school, you have plenty of time but no money to travel; Once out working, you would have the money but no time to travel." So for me to have both the money and time to travel, I will think carefully about this trip...

To go or not to go?? That is the question....
