The Air Asia flight ticket booking frenzy is here! I didn’t bother at first but damn… The travel bug was bugging me!

At first I was thinking of booking a flight to KK(only RM15!! Goodness! So cheap!) since I have classmate whose hometown is in KK so it will be easier for me to go there alone(remember I have no more travel companion and it’s not quite possible for me to go solo without worrying my parents), at least she can bring me around provided she will be free or at least I can tell my parents I’ll be there with my classmate but the thing is that there’s no cheap ticket for this year end(the preferred dates). I only found cheap ones for next year March and since I have no idea how’s the class will be next year, I can’t book any. So sad… Everyone is going to KK and I can’t go 🙁 Used to be very easy for me to plan my trip but now sigh…

I thought of giving up but then I still went on to search for cheap tickets with the possible dates that I might be free next year, my itchy fingers. Really crazy ;p I found Macau, only RM200+ for return trip!! Then I found Perth, only RM550+ for return trip!!

AIKS! Problem is that I can afford the tickets but I can’t afford to spend there *LOL* Unless darling will be at those places or if I got the keys *LOL* then I can stay for free *DREAM* but there is no way to know because it’s way too advance ;p. In fact, I can always go to HK from Macau to find my friends there, I can stay with them but it’s still not cheap to travel overseas. Furthermore, I got no idea of my class schedules for next year so it’s not possible at all.

Anyway, after thinking and thinking and thinking, I blurted out to my dad that going to KL only need RM50+ per person with Air Asia. He said that he’s thinking of going to Genting. Of course I told him it’s possible, fly to KL then go to Genting and we get to go to KL also since we’ve been talking about a family trip for ages! He gave me the green light to find the tickets.

I hunted for it and sadly none for the year end which was the initial plan as my bro will finish his SPM and I’ll be done with my exam also. Then when I’m thinking of giving up, I found cheap ones in January 2010! It’s on weekdays, only weekdays you can travel cheap so I told my parents and they told me to go ahead and buy the tickets.

TADA! After about 2 and half hour of trying to get tru’ the system.

Our trip is confirmed! Genting and KL we are coming! Family trip without my sis hahaha… Don’t care ;p She has her doses of traveling in UK all these years, this one is nothing for her *BLEK*.

Going for trip with my parents will mean I don’t have to pay for anything except when I do some CNY shopping for myself! Hehehe… Yikes… It seems like I’ve been doing CNY shopping almost every year in KL since 2006. Oh oh… Cham liao… ;p

Our flight tickets include 2 check-in luggage(return) and 4 meals(one way).

Will be hunting for places to stay in KL, too early to hunt now ;p I’ll be the tour guide by then. Usually people guide me and now I have to play the guide. Hopefully there won’t be any problem *LOL* Thinking of B&B instead of hotel. The B&B must have family room that can fit 4 of us and have attached bathroom. Any recommendation? I don’t want my dad to spend too much money on this trip.

I hope he won’t gamble too much at Genting -.-” This is what I’m quite worry about else the whole trip will be one very terrible family trip. Not to say that my dad likes to gamble, it’s just very common for anyone to gamble a bit too much in the casino and I hope he won’t be one of them.

So yeah… KL-Genting trip next year. Maybe KK will be next year during my semester break 😉

I want to go somewhere outside Malaysia but I can’t go alone, I need to have at least a travel companion sigh… Darling… Do you hear that?

You know I just got my passport renewed right? As Calvin had mentioned, I’m going to collect stamps to fill up my passport within this 5 years. Will I be able to do so? I guess so. It’s quite possible because of MAS Stimulus Package and also because of someone *BLUSH*. Not only that, my sis will graduate next year and I might postpone my studies for one term to go around UK, just a plan, who knows?

Not only that, I also want to collect points for my Enrich card.

My first Miri trip in 2007 was with MAS. It was an early morning flight and the view from the window was breathtaking!

My first overseas trip, Singapore, was with MAS also, this was way back in 2003. It’s been a while. Too bad, no photos to share for this trip.

Ok… Let’s go back to my great escapade. My great escapade will be spending time with my someone. Since MAS is having 9 Stimulus Packages to choose from, I’ll go for Grab-A-Deal. I choose this is because I can enjoy exclusive bargains on various domestic and international destinations that are offered every day. I’m going to be 27 this year and studying part-time, I can be considered under the student group. I can, right? ;p

With my current situation, for me to be with my someone, I have to fly a lot if I’m going to spend time with him. It can be in Hong Kong, Perth, Beijing, Shanghai, Japan or just anywhere in the world. If I can’t get good deals for my flight tickets, I can’t visit him and you will see me in these faces…

Scary I tell you! It will be all over this blog!

I know you will say there will still be other airlines to grab deals but routes are limited. MAS has extensive routes to various countries. As I had mentioned my someone can be anywhere in the world at any time so it is important to get an airline that can fulfill my needs.

If we are getting married now, then we can have our honeymoon by getting the MH Flex 1+1 package. If we already have kid(s), we can go for Kids Fly Free package. Isn’t that great!?! All from MAS, all under one roof. *LOL* I’m dreaming… No harm to dream right?

Just something unrelated, do you know that I wanted to be an air stewardess in MAS last time? Too bad I’m not qualified, I’m too short hahaha…

Lastly, don’t come bombard me with questions about my someone! You will know when the time is right *BLEK*

“Man! That was great. This truly is the time to travel!”

Got my passport today. Got really nice expiry date, 14/4/14 hahaha…

Finally I did my booking! I’m going to Singapore this August. Will be going with my aunt and will meet my sis there in Singapore.

Did a quick research since this morning and only just now found out that Tiger Airways is having zero fare promo. I think it ends today.

Made the booking and I paid RM189 for return ticket. In fact my target was below RM300 but who knows there’s RM200 and below offer. It’s a deal! Even with the “hidden charge” of the airline, the convenience fee -.-” RM25 per person. I hate it. Why? That is because it didn’t reflect in the total and when you make your payment, it was only reflected after the transaction was completed. So be prepared to get shocked with the extra charge.

What you see in the picture is not the final amount you are making. The final total is RM378 for two persons.

Then the itinerary didn’t have much details just like Air Asia. You only see the passenger name, contact details, flight details and money you paid(without breakdown of charges) but there’s no other details such as passport number of each passenger.

Oh! One thing I’m not sure, I didn’t choose any seat because if you choose your seat, you will have to pay for it. Do they assign to you randomly or you must make your choice? GOSH! I hope this is not another hidden cost when check-in -.-” Anyone has any idea?

So I will be away from 17 August 2009-21 August 2009. Should be able to update blog by then or have series of scheduled posts ;p My mission is to “eat” Singapore, no shopping, what to shop? No money to splurge. I rather feed my stomach.
