This is ridiculous…

Air Asia Kuching called me up just now and told me that KL headquarter has revert all re-routes from Kch-KL-Bali.

On the same afternoon I amended my booking, Air Asia KL called me up and told me they have re-routed my flight and everything has confirmed. I login to my Air Asia account n found that my flight details has already been amended. They too, sent me my NEW AMENDED itinerary. All in Black and white!

After what I’ve told the lady… she checked again and told me mine was confirmed. She din even apologized for the misunderstanding/mistake/miscommunication o whatever u called that.

They should have checked their database first making any phone call to their customers, giving uncertain or false info that might spoil their mood.

And if anything happen (no record for my flight to Kch-KL, etc) upon check in on Apr. 18, 2009, wait and see.... HMP!

Btw, if mine can be changed and why not others? What about my mum who's goin in October?? What about my friends who are goin with us? What about Les' mum who's goin in December??? Does that mean only those complainers get the reimbursement? It's is still unfair to other customers.

This should not be happening! Peepz... U know ur customer right, rite?

Winkz!

|[Update]| Air Asia re-route Kuching-Bali

Yippy... finally everything has settled. Went to Air Asia just now... to double confirm with what Tony F. has said in the email... Yes... indeed Air Asia is re-routing us for FREE!!!

As this is a first come first serve basis... based on seat availability. Thank god the lady still remember me... so she put me in the list 1st. :P

Everything has to be sent to KL to process before approval. She sed she will call me back once it has been confirmed... and I might need to go back to the branch office again... So i guess... i might need to wait for a day or two maybe?

To my surprise... they called me in less than 2 hours time. Since when they are so efficient? I know their CEO, Tony is... Very grateful that he replied my email and pass down my inquiry to his management. They approved my changes referring to my email. Kekeke... Well.. they should keep it up... :P

So everything has be rescheduled... Will still be flying on the exact same date I've fixed for my booking... Actually I wanted to extend one more day but the lady told me we aren't allow to make any date changes... well... nevermind.

So now will be flying to Bali from KL. And I'm goin to Bali in April 2009!!! Woohoo...

Bebek Bengil.... Babi Guling... Wait for me!!!

Picture from last Bali Trip...

|[Update]| Air Asia: Kuching - Bali

Finally, Tony Fernandes has replied me... Thanks Tony for replying as u said u will... :)
According to his reply... and from my understanding... He sed we'll be given free credit or reroute via Jakarta... is this firm? I better gotto the Air Asia Branch office to check one of these days.

Let's keep finger cross and hoping for good news!

"Pink" Bomb

Received a very cute wedding invitation this morning... It's Hot striking Pink with flowery envelope!!~~ The invitation was from John's sister, Cecelia. She'll be getting married on August 16, 2008.

The "creative" part is... the invitation card is addressed to... "http://phantomizedsaint.blogspot.com" (handwritten in PENCIL... this john.. so informal), inviting "Mr and Mrs Geraldine Kho". Hmmmmm.... since when I'm married... and since when I become the "man". :S

Actually she's inviting me n dearie... I guess they wanna save one card for others ey?? :P

Anyway,

Congratulation
to
Cecelia and Steward!!!

See you on ur BIG DAY...

August 16, 2008!!!

ANGRYFied by Air Asia

I'm so angrified by Air Asia... AGAIN. No... this time is not about rescheduling my flight without notification... BUT... they terminated all Kuching - Bali flight WITHOUT any notification!!!!!!!!!!

This is all BULLSHIT. And it's so UNFAIR...

What really pissed me is that they never notify customers with their changes. I won't have known if my friend and colleague din check through Air Asia site and try to make their booking. I've been calling the customer service... and no one picked up (as usual)! So I went to the branch office in the afternoon... to find out that they're not compensating us for Kuching - KL ticket. We have to pay at our own expenses!!! OMG! However, they're refunding customers who doesnt wish to fly anymore...

It would be a big lost for me as I've amended my ticket before... And I'm sure they're not gonna refund my amendment fees. Meaning... I'll lost RM300++ (amendment fees, baggage fees and processing fees) for nothing...

I've wrote to their CEO, Mr. Tony Fernandes. Complaining bout what I've encountered... Hoping that he do something to help us and at least compensating us for Kuching-KL.

Worst come to worst, I rather pay for Kuching - KL... have a more expensive ticket to Bali, have fun and enjoy there... than "donate" to Air Asia for nothing.


Will keep you guys update with this...

Audrey Hallmark

Finally I got another pair of new Crocs... it's the latest model... Audrey Hallmark... Din expect it will reach Malaysia so soon...

I actually wanted Malindi since the beginning of the year... I had even placed order from Poppies. It did arrive after that but the problem is... they have limited size and colours. I wanted TURQUOISE or SILVER for size 7. So far only PULSE have the most sizes. I reordered it as the staff in Poppies told me the new batch will come in another two more weeks... And they would call me up when it arrives. Been waiting for their call but my phone never rings. Went back... and asked... again... they told me... another 2 weeks... And they've been telling me that it will arrive in two 2 weeks or 10 days later ever since... I cant even remember how many "10 days" they had told me ady. PIFF!!!

I've also asked my niece, bro and friend... whoever is goin to KL to help me check it out... Same case... limited size and colours... Some outlet even sold out. Finally until last Sunday, my brother called me up from Ikano, Damansara. Told me that the model I wanted it's available. I was delighted... I called up Eve...asking for her size (she wanted one too). When I called back... my bro told me that the size we wanted only available in PULSE and MANGO. GRrrr.... So disappointing...

But he told me there's new model. Audrey Hallmark. I've seen that from Singapore Crocs online and din expect it to be here so soon... And Since I can't get the Malindi... it's either sold out everywhere... or no sizes.... Might as well I get the latest Audrey Hallmark (Be the 1st to wear it here?? I Hope... kekeke) while waiting for more Malindi with more colours and sizes...

So Eve took the MANGO Malindi. It turned out to be a very nice colour... compared to PULSE.
Oh I'm a CROCS fan... I love Crocs... And I'm getting more!!! Kekeke...

11th Rainforest World Music MUD Festival

Here come my Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) entry... I know I'm late.... but wat to do? BeeSie mah! :P

So... Dearie and I went for the 2nd nite of RWMF. We din make any appointment there... just go there on our own... Coz we know we'll be meeting lotsa friends there...

Again, din manage to go for the workshop this year... Coz I was working overtime til 5pm tat day. Dearie was working too... we departed at around 6pm... and reached Santubong at ard 7pm. Took a shutter there... Coz cars without pass were not allowed to enter Sarawak Cultural Village.

This year... not only did the ticket price increased from RM60 to RM90 (I got mine for only RM63 though. Thanks to HSBC. HSBC Credit Cardholders get special 30% discount for ticket purchased). It was a total mess. Very unsystematic. People at Santubong don queue to take the shutter. Even the agent doesn't care. Everyone just rushed into the shutter when it arrived without waiting for their turn. Since everyone is doin it... we oso rushed for our shutter instead of standing there like an idiot... but one thing for sure... we don push and squeeze. :)

The RWMF Balloon

Crowd at the Entrance

The way to JunkBar

The JunkBar

A nicely decorated longhouse turned into a bar... Food and drinks were serves there... So no outside food pipol... They have securities too...

This year... we had the JunkBar... at least somewhere to hang out and have your drinks peacefully without worrying bout ppl stepping on you. According to George, the owner of The Junk, the amount to setup this plaz cost a bomb... How much? I wont disclose it here coz it might be P&C. :)

Shin Yee & I

Finally she had made it this year... Been persuading her to come for years but she never did. And I guess she loves it... hope she will be for the festival too nx year.

Shin Yee, Josh and I

Josh... he was ady tipsy when I met him. Been drinking since the afternoon... crazieee...

Chillin'

The first few bands weren't tat impressing. So we hang out at the JunkBar til ard 10pm before we go down to the pool and started partying...

The crowd

This year was quite disappointing... The field was really muddy due to the heavily rainfall in the previous nite. The muddy pitch which had a bad smell spoilt the atmosphere. Though the organizer put some sand and wooden saw crumbs but it was not helping. Nevertheless, it did not spoil the whole party. Instead, loads of people kicked off their flip-flops/shoes and rushed into the mud to party anyway.

My poor flip-flops

Luckily I wasn't wearing my Crocs... else I would have some stinky muddy jibbitz.

Adel Salameh from Palestine

Erm... Not my kinda music... Don like it at all... They nearly put everyone to sleep. Too subtle for the wild partying crowd. Prefer those with drumbeat! :D

Syl: "Hey... wait up... I wanna be included in the photo as well..."

And there he is... Lerios, Me, Dearie, John and Syl...

As I sed... many of my friends were there too... So there I met Henrik, Lerios (he was there with GF and ex-colleagues); Peterus and GF, Lydia; John, Emil and Friends, Alicia, Ericka, Yvonne, and some other high school schoolmates. Lesley and Niny was there too with their friends... But too bad I din get to meet them... it was too packed and hard to move around especially when you were near the front stage. Plus, it's not easy to locate someone in this huge crowded compound.

Oh... not forgetting Amelie too... she was there too for three days... working for the JunkBar serving the VIPs. Miss Su... any vacancy for nx year? Bluek!!

Me & my darling with drift-ron

Syl & GF, Evie

I was actually asking Syl to help me to take a pic for me and my gangs... He then gave me a thumb-up... and grabbed his gf and posed for me... He tot I wanted to take their pixie... -.-"' But nvm... nice photo anyway... And for us... we can camwhore on our own like we owas do... kekeke...

Deari, Me & John

Yakande from Gambia/Guinea

Emil & the shorty

Gosh.. he was too tall that I had to tip-toe just to camwhore with him...

Take 1

Asked John to help us take another proper pic... but FAILED! Coz Emil's hair covered my face!! He kept on telling me how he loves his new hair... it's his latest trend... SABOTAGE!!!!

Take 2...

I insisted to take another one... and now tat's better. :P

John, Miss G and Emil

John... John… what’s wrong with ur outfit? U got the wrong theme… we’re at the rainforest… not goin to Serikin or Sightseeing… hmmm…

Oh Emil… Tsk tsk tsk… wearing such sexy, tight-fitted, striking blue hot pants with... sport shoes... No comment. :P

Miss G & Miss E

Miss E was sitting there on the slope... looking very sad... why??? Coz she wore the wrong outfit! Wrong shoes... wrong colour... So Miss E, remember... never wear heels and white pants to this kinda occasion nx time... :P

Beer distributor

I like the way u move it move it...

Okay... this pic supposed to be a candid... Hmm...

Why is he covering his face???

Hiroshi Motofuji from Japan

Everybody loves Hitoshi!!! He's everyone's favourite. One man show... playing the Japanese traditional Taiko Drums with modern beat! Been waiting for him to perform the whole nite... he indeed din disappoint all of us... Love his performance lots! And I love DRUMS!

See No Evil * Hear No Evil * Speak No Evil

Drift Ron, Bernard and Dearie

After Hiroshi's performance, we went back to the JunkBar. Met lotsa famous and infamous people there... KinkyBlueFairy and Rudy from the Morning Breakfast Show were there... KinkyBlueFairy is so petite and prettier in person. And she looks alot better in dark brown hair. Winkz...

Taib Mahmud's son was there too... sitting right nx to us... He was indeed quite good looking minus the belly :P

Who else?? The list goes on... and I'm lazy to list everyone of them out... :P

Anybody lost their flip flop???

Me and dearie nearly forgot our slipper as well while walking on the way back to JunkBar. Thank God he realized it so we went back to our spot and took it... Else we would be goin home bare-footed. :P

Mr. Alcoholic Josh with Dearie

Eww.... one last shot before we washed away the stinky dirt !

Caught camwhoring

What Rainforest? Hmm...

I dunno what are they trying to say tru this leaflet... picked it up from the ground. According to papers, some1 been distributing these leaflet sending wrong messages inside the cultural village. It's illegal peepz. Please don do it again. :)

And one funny story before I ended this entry...

Bernard actually sed he wanna send us back to our car coz his car was parked near the SCV entrance. So we don have to wait in the long queue for the shutter. The moment we stepped out... he told us tat his car was missing. Dearie and I tot he was just joking... Then he started to get panic.

To us, the car was impossible stolen. There were so many ppl around and how could a theft break into it and drive away?? The security was really tight there...

Since his car wasn't park in a proper parking space... we assumed that it has been towed away. So we asked around... The security guard asked us to walk further up and check if the car was there... He sed, "maybe it's at Damai Golf Club".

I was like... WAT!!!??? Damai Golf Club??? Meaning it's at Santubong... Don tell me we're walking all the way back to Santubong... This will definitely break my leg!!! Dearie and I looked at each other... thinking if we could go back to SCV, take the queue... and wait for the shutter...

On second thought, we couldn't just leave them there... it would be a very self-fish act. So... together-gether... we walked and look for the car. Finally... we found his car at Damai Beach Resort's front entrance. His car was the only car left at that moment.

We were relieved. Well... the car is better been towed than stolen rite? :P

And there goes the 2008 RWMF! We din have much fun... but we still enjoy ourselves... chilling, boozing n chit-chatting with friends... :)

Reached home at 2am+ Slept at 4.30am... Gosh it was really tiring and restless the next day... :S

See you again in 2009!

Mr. Ho's Fine Food

Since I was free last Friday nite, I asked Evelyn to go dinner with me after OT. Both of us been talking about Bali lately... bout how we missed the food there... especially babi guling (roast suckling pig) and bebek bengil (deep fried dirty duck).

Babi Guling Ibu Oka

Bebek Bengil, Ubud

Since we're both craving for those... the only substitute we can find is... Mr Ho's Fine Food @ Crown Square. Been there several times ady but this is the first time I blog about it.

The staff there was excellent in their service, trying very hard to please without being obtrusive; take effort to introduce you with their best dish... tell you when you have order enough or too much... Coz... some of their dishes are serve in HUGE portion... So... trust me... accept their suggestions... :)

Mr Ho's Fine Food

The restaurant and the Beverage Section

They have a beverage section where you can choose your favorite imported bottle drinks or wine. Other than that, they also sell all sort of imported pasta ingredients, cheese and sausages. Oh... and not to forget... my favorite ice-cream, Häagen-Dazs.

Romantic Ambiance

The plaz was rather small... probably only 10 tables to accommodate approximately 30-40 pax (my own estimation)? With deem light, light music, sometimes oldies, it's a good plaz to dine in with friends, family or even couples.

Open-Concept Kitchen

One thing good about their kitchen is... Open-concept... we can actually see how they prepare the food and cook them. From what I see, it's very clean and hygienic indeed.

My favorite drink... Bundaberg Ginger Beer

Crispy Roast Pork RM18.90

Oooh... I love BABI (pork)!! It's a MUST-ORDER dish whenever I'm there... The skin is crispy with a little fat in between the skin and the lean meat. Trust me, it will definitely goes well with beer. :D

The Green Pasta - RM13.90

The Green Pasta or Asia Paste... Cant exactly remember the name of it. It's one of the recommended dish too... Both Eve & I ordered this... Very yummilicious... but i cant finish it!!! Wat a waste... Should have just shared it with Eve and ordered another dish...

Total bill... RM59++ But wait... that's not wat we paid... We got privilege card! 15% was given for those who have privilege card... so after discount... RM49++. Cheap cheap cheap...

So peepz... remember to bring you privilege card whenever u go there... ;)

Nite Out with Jack & Esther

Jack and Esther came back for Holiday for ard 2 weeks... They've already went back this morning... Very sorry for them as I was busy working overtime lately... and got too tired to go out with them during weekdays. Some more we're owas late for the meeting as I gotta wait for dearie to finish work and pick me up around 9.30pm... After washing up the earliest would be ard 10pm++. By the we're ready to meet them... it's almost time for them to leave too. So... we only meet up during weekend.

We went to Ipanema last Saturday... everyone was present except for Ving and Ling... they went honeymoon in KL. How nice... Most of my best buds were out that nite too... Slenzy n Yai were at Mojo... wat a coincidence... Siong were there too... joining the same group with their friends... What a small world...

Went over to look for them with Karen... too bad I din bring along my camera... left it with Dearie at Ipanema... So had to take some pics using somebody's (I seriously dunno whose) handphone... Slenz and I being sista for so long, we never take pic outside office u know??? So no matter what... we have to take some... As you all know... Mojo was super duper dark... So pictures taken were super duper low quality too... But... better than no picture at all rite?? Teehee...

"Just a minute... I am busy with phone... "

"Okay... Ready..."

Darn... I look damn retarded with that pose... Look like "the dog" eh... Big head... small body... :P

One more shot...

I like this photo even though we both look a bit like "momok" (ghost).. hahahaha...

Siong, Karen, Me & Slenz

So... I got two shots of tequila... thanks to Yai... -.-"' Din drink for quite some times... nearly puke coz cant stand the smells of tequila. Thank god I was still standing that nite...
