Leap Day
Some time ago I got to know about NATAS Travel 2008.
And I know the last time when my family went to Melbourne to attend my brother's graduation ceremony, my dad got our tickets from Chan Brothers.
So I suggested to Ivan that we go on the first day (I'm kiasu whaaaat) and he informed Chui Ying who brought Dai Jing along. I knew Chui Ying from SOW 2007, and Dai Jing last semester in tutorial, she's Jing Yi's friend.
We were supposed to meet at noon today, and guess what. I overslept! (What's new?!) I woke up only at 1207 when Ivan called. Ooops. And I rushed and took a cab ($5.20) down to Singapore Expo. So sorry I was late.
No photos were taken because the layout of the exhibition wasn't the point.
The point was. Cheap tickets! Cheap tickets!!!
Ivan, DJ and CY inquired at Diner's Travel and oh my the tickets were expensive. SGD 2700+ for SIA. Faint. I can't remember the price for other airlines.
When I reached they were queuing for CTC Holidays. Waited for quite a long while.
The agent who served us was this experienced auntie who advised us nicely what to do and what not and what we should do.
We were first offered Thai Airways at SGD 1550, it was the cheapest then. I partly objected to Thai Airways because of some unsatisfactory experience. We were also looking into other airlines, like Cathay (SGD 1590) and SIA (SGD 1800+). The deal for SIA is good, because it's about two hundreds bucks more but we get to take our country's airline!! Usually it's more than $2000 ma. But the dates were lousy, so were the Cathay ones. We'll return only after school starts.
Therefore we're left with Thai. -____- And this time our initial offer was taken up, so we were offered another one at SGD 1590. Therefore we're taking Thai Airways, no personal TV =(, and we'll transit at Bangkok. Sounds familiar. (this was exactly what happened when I went to Europe last year!!! SIANNNNN I don't get to experience another airline.)
And the thing is I have to change to a new passport!!! Going to USA is the problem =( I must change to the biometric one else it'll be very troublesome. Oh bother. I still can use my passport for the next seven years! And it's gonna be another cost!
I'll be leaving on June 18 and will return on August 7.
A total of 51 days away from home.
