today is my luckiest day!
i am always lucky in one and another way, but today, definitely worth mentioned!
(i dont care even if i have tons of things to do today, i need to blog this now!)
okay...so this morning i go buy ticket to hometown for chinese new year. 24th Jan and return 4th Feb.
it was at Muhibbah travel&tours (www.muhibbahtravel.com)
the taxi drop me somewhere...confusing...so i had to call to ask for direction to the travel...then by that time i was damn late to the office dy...so rush rush rush...
Thx God, the lady who was serving me said the price is SGD 670 which is still the same compare to the one i asked yesterday in the phone. then when i said i want to proceed with payment, and i show her my atm card (to pay by Nets- it's the auto debit system which is widely used in Singapore which made your purchase easier and easier to drain your money - you can even use it in taxi. almost all ATM card have Nets service, so instead of flashing credit card, you can flash you atm ^^ )
'sorry we dont have nets here'
i cant belief it! my expression somehow made her answer 'nearest DBS atm is at keypoint building' (DBS is my bank, and keypoint building is at the...opposite road...somewhere...far...) all i think of is 'no! i couldn't give up now!' so i drag my feet and climb the pedestarian bridge's stairSSS, walk way up to the keypoint building, round and round at the inside to look for ATM, give up and walk out to buy some soya milk, and finally saw the ATM sign. it was at the outside actually!
and i spent around 5 min looking for my atm card inside my bag-bcoz i pulled it out at the travel agency and forgot to put back at the proper place-and finally i withdraw the money, walk back to the travel agency, smelled a nice bak kut teh smell (HEY! i found a klang bak kut teh stall! what a morning!) and when i walk in to the office, the 1st word she told me was,
'miss Peggy, sorry, '
i thought 'SSHIT, what happened?! are you goin to tell me no more sit or...?increase price?'
then...what a Luck!
'i found a promotion ticket, which is 2 weeks ticket. because i see your travel period is no more than 14 days. and the price is 540. the set back is when you change the date you will have to pay penalty 75. but still, 540+75 = 615 is still cheaper than 670. so?'
OMG~ i Love You so much! if it is not because they dont accept nets, i wouldn't have walk all the way to withdraw cash, but the reward is so great - a -130 cheaper ticket!
Thanks God! im so Lucky and again, things happened for good reasons :D
*extra info: i am taking SILKAIR, and this morning the lady told me that SILKAIR no longer having 1 or 2 weeks ticket except for promotion. so the ticket period is 1 month, 6 month, and 1 year. they have 20 kg baggage allowance and no extra charge for changing date.
yay~ my office is giving a week off for cny :D
anyway, actually yesterday i went directly to the SILKAIR office, which is at keypoint building.(yesteday was a long journey too, get lost by bus.. took mrt.. walk a long distant.. get lost in the building..) only to be served by a cold guy telling me, 'why are you coming here to get the ticket? it's more expensive here than internet.' then i asked, how much is the different, then after he calculate everything, it was 850! *intenet was only 650!*
i told him, i dont have credit card that's why i come all the way to their main office. so he said, please contact our appointed agents, it is stated at the brochure. you will get a cheaper price from them.
(so funny to think that main office selling much more expensive than agents!)
so yesterday after i was in the office back from there i called the top 5 on the list and the cheapest price offered was 673. then my colleague and friend mentioned this Muhibbah and so i called and they offered 670 only.
the reality i had today is far more better! so i highly recommend MUHIBBAH travel agency, (T) 6296 0026. the girl who served me today named Siti :)
