How would you recommend non-frequent travelers to use miles?

I know general advice is to use miles for longer flights (Japan and Australia or longer) by booking about a year in advance. But I don't really plan my trips that far ahead (I can hardly even afford one-way biz class to Japan 1 year from now).

For context:

- I travel around SEA 3-4x a year

- I earn maybe 20-30K miles a year, including miles from cc spend as I am not really into the miles game

My options:

- Redeem biz class RT

- Redeem 2x economy class RT

- Redeem biz class one-way, economy return (or vice-versa) which might leave me with some spare miles

Any advice for someone who's not interested in miles gaming, but want to get the best value out of what's already there?

Supercut set to (I think) "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" by Scissor Sisters

Must have been published 2023-2024 on Twitter? I only remember Barbie and (possibly) Last Night in Soho as one of the movies featured on it. It's a really good edit and the editor did a really good job :(

Speedcat Ballet Etoile

Wide footed and normally wear US 8.5W, had to size up to US 9W (probably should go for 9.5W, though I will have to try on without socks, obviously) - is it cute or are my feet just too wide to work with this shoe??? :(

Location aside, why didn't Warehouse Club work?

I love membership shopping (by membership shopping I mean like Costco). Imho the deals + variety of brands (some of which are not widely available in locales) + the joy of ooh-ing and ahh-ing over stuff I'm not even gonna buy make the membership fee pretty worth.

Always wondered why SG doesn't have these retailers but apparently there was Warehouse Club in Joo Koon which is now closed.

Do you think membership shopping would work in SG? Would YOU sign up for membership shopping?

Red gingham shift babydoll dress?

Doesn't have to be this exact one (I imagine it would be 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸) but broadly the same style! The ones I'm finding have some cinching aspects below the chest which I'm NOT after.
