Never miss a flight...T-T

Never ever miss your flight!

Or even change your flight ticket unnecessarily.

You know why?

You'll get you butt spanked real hard. You'll get a big hole burnt in your pocket.

Trust me.

My original flight was originally 28th Sept. 2008. Since my examinations ended earlier on 19th Sept., I planned to go back to Kuching earlier. So, happily I went to MAS office in KL Central to change my ticket.

It is a government three-year passage ticket. So, changing of flights are totally free.

Guess what? I got it all wrong!

I had to pay RM120 again to change the flight to an early one, 8.15 am. Argh!

Well, at first, I thought it was for the sake of going back to my long-lost hometown, so I don't really mind until I got a call from my dad.

Dad: Aiyoo, why you pay so much! Changing flights free one! No need pay la!
Me: Har? Got such policy meh?
Dad: Aiyoo, I say no means no lar!

... ...

After a while later, my phone rang.

Officer: Encik, sorry for the RM 120. You only have to pay RM 60. So can you please claim back your RM 60?

What the hell! MAS ar, why can't you check the ticket first before you charged people.

Fine, I reached the office again and got my RM 60 back.

Me: Kak, i thought it's RM 120 that I'm supposed to claim?
Officer: Oh, that's for the processing fee.

zzzz.............

Anyways, finally changed my ticket and I'm happy with it despite all the trouble that I have to go through.

HOWEVER, THE NIGHTMARE DOESN'T END HERE!

I told you my flight is 8.15 am, right? I woke up only at 6am. Instead, I should woke up earlier than that!!!!

Why?

Coz the ignorant me did not know that I need to check in 2 hours before departure!!!!!

What's worst! I forgot to take my air-ticket and I had to return all the way to my house to pick up my ticket.

By then, it's already 7.30 am when I reached KL central!

With loads of baggage, I ran as fast as I could to check-in counter. No one helped me with baggage except one kind auntie and my brother (he helped carried halfway coz he parked at the taxi's parking slot)

Reached the counter and gave the ticket to the officer. Guess what, while he was checking the ticket halfway, he laughed and tell his colleague that the counter is closed long beforehand.

What the toot are you laughing at! I was really annoyed that time. Why don't tell me, kenapa you tell your colleague. (You know what kind of people will do that. I don't want to discriminate people!)

Bloody hell!

Annoyed and NOW, nervous! coz the KLIA express leaving from Kl central to KLIA is 7.30 am and it takes 28 minutes to reach there.

I'm way behind the schedule now.... T-T

I OFFICIALLY MISS MY FLIGHT.

AND SADLY, IT WAS MY FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!

Being slightly positive-minded, I boarded the train as usual to KLIA at 7.45 pm. Got multiple calls from my parents. They told me to go try out the waiting list as well as to book a new flight once I reached KLIA.

Extremely depressed as well as a little angry at the unhelpful people and that bastard officer!

Reached KLIA.

Went to ticketing counter and now, I got the freakin' penalty of RM100 for missing the flight.

Miss flight also kena hukum. Toot la!

I told the lady there to change my flight to the last flight on 27 of Sept., 10.15 am as well as put me on the waiting list so that I can board any plane if there are any last minute of of cancellation of flight on that time or any passengers who did not board the flight.

Got my coupon from the lady and she said I could use this to exchange the ticket on 27 Sept.

On the other hand, got a real bad news from the lady as well, my CNY ticket has been canceled off by the agency who gives out the government ticket. (Grr, now I can't board my flight back to my hometown for relaxing 3 months, don't tell me I can't go back to get my ang pows and eat my bak kua next yr!) Luckily, she helped "re-booked" the ticket.

Reached the standby- counter to register myself in the waiting list and AGAIN, I met a freakin officer who lectured me.

Officer: You shouldn't have miss the flight la~!
Me: I know. (Sudah annoyed, mau tambah annoyed lagi!)
Officer: You know all the flights are fully booked. Then why you miss again! (Then speaks in Malay) Sudah booked ticket, buat ape nak waiting list.
Me: (Wa lao eh!!!!! Chao ah kua!) I know! Then, I'll have to depend on my luck! (Forcing myself to smile)

Waited there in front of the counter for a few flights till I gave up.

Wanted to stay at the airport for one night to await for the 10.15pm flight in the first place (the express cost me RM35!) but on second thought, staying in the airport without internet will somehow cause my brain cells to freeze.

So again, I paid RM 35 (heart breaks) to go down to KL.

Back to KL and back AGAIN to my bro's condo.

Again, back to KL central to deal with my CNY ticket. It was on the database. Great! Heaved sighs of relieve.

Back to Bro's condo. I started to worry about the 10.15 pm flight coz that lady didn't give me any ticket reference number. So, I called the MAS hotline.

BAD NEWS AGAIN! Arghhh!!

They said they see no WONG KIING FOOK CLEMENT in their database!!

TOTALLY SHOCKED TO DEATH.....X-X

I argued with the person-in-charge. Somehow, I couldn't stand anymore. I just blast everything on the kesian fella until he said that someone has canceled his flight at 4.30 pm.

Oh my gawd, my heart suddenly grow wings and can fly now (dunno correct usage or not..). It's not as heavy as it was before.

Then, he gave the reference number to retrieve my ticket from KL central.

So, for the last time, I went to KL central again...

zzzzzzzzz.......

Finally, got my ticket issue solved...

argh! A darn painful experience.

And I think the miss-es in the Kl ticketing counter had already known this crazy boy who ran back and forth from the MAS office. Each I came in, they had the face of "what?! This kid again?! What's wrong with him!"

zzzz...

I regretted changing the ticket. Coz my money juz flew off like that.

3 times KLIA express - RM 35 x 3 = RM 105
Freakin' ticket processing fee = RM 60
Freakin' taxi for going back to my bro's condo and to kl central = RM 18
Public Bus fare to KL central= RM 4
Freakin' penalty for missing the flight = RM 100
Freakin' baggage overloaded fee = RM 180

Total = RM 467

Seeing this amount, I HATE myself now. T-T

Tolerating others... ...

Back to blogging.. ..

Which it's somehow miraculous for me to actually have the mood to babble.. ..

Feel somehow happy coz it's Friday... ...weee~~

Back to topic.. ..

Living for half a year in Kampar now really taught me a lot of stuffs aside of how-not-to-step-on cow's-shyt. Living with my friends somehow help me build up my tolerance and my EQ.

However, tolerating your friends or your coursemates means you have to suffer excruciating pain. Where? Especially your heart... ...the feeling of anger starts to build up in your heart till you want to whack that person right now... ...

but... ...I'm not that eager to do so at times... ...

Maybe I'm just too kind-hearted... ...

weird, huh?

Reason is, I don't wanna create unwanted quarrel..Plus, it takes up your energy and time to begin and end a quarrel... ...After all, I am going to see my friends in the campus for another 2 years.

Tolerate + No quarrel = Peace... ...

From another perspective, tolerating too much might not be a good thing... ...First, free oxygen radicals will build up when you are in stress or in anger which, in long run, will affect your body's health... ...

Second, people will tend to BULLY and FULLY UTILIZED you if you keep quiet all the times. People might think you are easily manipulated. In other words, YOU BAGAIKAN ALAT UNTUK DIGUNA TANPA U SEDARI because you are just too BENDUL LURUS. (Translation: straight)

I tried the second option before...by being cold to them. To tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings. I felt bad when I treat them that way. On the other hand, I'm feeling extremely angry and disappointed with that person since I trust him/her sooo much.

Back stabbed or rather feel being cheated... ...

Should I continue to tolerate? Or voice out anything that I don't feel right or fair to me?

Confuse... ...

Help? Anyone? X_X

Loathing myself.. ..

deserted my blog again...

vowed many times that i will update my blog but failed...due to:

1. Loads of never-ending lab reports to be done
2. Loads of assignments piling up non-stop
3. Student's Representative Committee Stuff - which I think it's rather troublesome..X_X
4. Club and Societies...

well, because of this, I've got no time to practice my precious violin, read my favourite manga or even play my maple story.... ....

If I were given a chance, I would wanna drop option 3. You know why? It's because it's taking too much of my time and energy. This thing occupies too much of my study time and I feel like I'm dropping behind from my studies. Oh man~ I wanna focus on my studies like when I was in secondary school, foundation or even my Year 1 Sem 1 in the university. How I miss the days where I can study whenever I want, do a few proposals, minutes or agendas, have a few short club meetings than sitting there feeling tension whenever there is a SRC meeting.

Argh~

I want this to end ASAP. I'll hope this semester ends fast cause I wanna have a long, relaxing three months holiday without SRC... ...

But... ...there's one more semester for you to survive... ...

Argh~ I pray hard that my new sem in Year 2 will end as fast as possible cause I wanna hand over my post to someone else already...By then, I shall laugh out loud! Hahahaha! No more SRC, bye bye SRC!! I really hope that day comes!

I REALLY WISH THAT DAY POPS OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!

puff~

It's impossible~! T_T

No title... ...

It's study week! I'm suppose to bury myself in a big piles of books and eat them page by page. Why am I here babbling about common university student's complaint?

Maybe I really need to complain.

It's been four days already since I last came down from Kampar to K.L. and I'm still not in the mood to study. I want to transform myself back into the nerdy clement... ...The feeling of not being able to study normally is giving me some sort of stress...

Stress??

It feels like you have nothing to do the whole day and always giving yourself excuses that there'll always be tomorrow. So, sit back and relax the whole day scratching here and there, watching tv shows, chatting on the MSN, updating my blog (which is very rare thing for me to do) and surfing the net to look for more classical music. Ah, it feels like school holiday. I hate that feeling during the study week.

I was thinking that I would study better once I returned to K.L. but the results are still the same. I'm still having this relaxing lifestyle like I'm still in Kampar. To makes things worst, I'm feeling empty now because the whole house (my brother's rented condo) seem to be so quiet in the mornings, afternoon and even evening. I know I like a quiet environment to study but staying at home alone for the whole week makes me grow mushrooms.

Ah well~ All I need to do now is to force myself to study even if I don't want to. I don't want to hurt my butt during the exams! Yeah, after all, it's for a few weeks that I need to struggle. So, what's the big deal!

... ...Typical Ramblings of An University Student... ...

Don't get fooled~

Just today, I went to the Pesta Buku Antarabangsa held at the Putra World Trade Centre. To my surprise, the whole event was a total failure. At first, I was fooled by the word "antarabangsa" which means international thinking there are books from around the globe that would somehow enlighten me. But, guess what? The publishers are all locals and the books are mostly based on Islamic teachings and our local educational books. It's rather bias, don't you think so? It's even worst when people are fooled by that one word that you placed on the banners along the road. Wouldn't it be disappointing for the visitors who came all the way from Sarawak to attend this exhibition?

Very very disheartening...

I was so hoping to grab so really great books to boost up my maturity so as to look non-child like as well as able to think and act rationally rather than riding a tricycle along the streets of kampar like a little fat ass clown shouting and laughing "wakakakaka!" ... ...

sighs~

I'm complaining all this since it involves the public. Even if there are international books being sold but they have leave early perhaps because people don't seem to read "ang moh" books, but at least put up a notice when they will be leaving. At least, people can save up the petrol, time and money to go somewhere else even syoking than to stuck in the jam and sandwiched in the bustling crowd. It's really tiring!! To makes things more frustrated, I only see Malay books every hall I entered. Look, I'm not discriminating but I just want to point out that if you want to hold a book fair solely for malay and Islamic books, it is important that you state that in the banner... ... Don't cause confusion in the public... ...

p/s: The moral of the lesson is, do not be fooled by the words. Even it's written with something like, sangat lazat..it can turned to be sangat zatla..sounds like jiat lat~~~XD (syok sendiri)

Mozart Oboe Concerto

This is one the scene in Nodame Cantabile. Listen to the oboe been played. The tune sounds marvelous. You will immediately feel yourself in a fairy land. The whole orchestra will somehow made you blush with shades of pink. Really! If you listen to this piece wholeheartedly, it can make your bad day to be turned into a wonderful day~!

of strings, bows, timpani, woodwinds, and piano...

Ahh~~ I've been captivated by the beauty and the symphony of these instruments especially the oboe, flute, violin and piano. The melodious tune of each instruments soothes my heart and soul as well as reflecting the excitement, pain and sorrow of that music piece.

Oboe, a kind of woodwind instrument.

All this music thingy came about when I first watched the japanese drama series, Nodame Cantabile. It's a great musical drama masterpiece, I can assure you of that. Well, it's not like high school musical where they jump and sing all day long even in the golf field... ...=_=" No offense, ya! I just felt that the whole movie feels like American version of bollywood... ...

Back to topic... ...

By the way, spoilers ahead.....

The one on your left holding a conductor's baton is chiaki shinichi while the girl beside him is nodame. The far left is the violinist, Miki Kiyora along with Mine Ryuutaro a violinist too beside her. The one with the afro head standing behind chiaki is the timpanist, Masumi and the one holding a kontrabass is Saku Sakura. Standing beside nodame is the soprano, Saiko with the useless guy standing on the far right is another conductor, Ookochi Mamoru.

Let me introduce this series to you guys. It's about a guy called shinichi chiaki who was born in Germany who enjoys orchestra performed by his idol of all times, Sebastiano Viera since young. Because of that, he dreams of becoming a famous conductor. Soon, he was recruited as one of Viera's apprentice. However, he was flown back to Japan when both of his parents divorced. He was devastated at that time and made a promise to Viera that he will come back to Germany again. Unfortunately, the airplane that he boarded had an emergency landing which causes him to have this airplane phobia as well as hydrophobia since he was nearly drown in a ship trip to somewhere. Both of this phobia kept him from going abroad and he landed himself in a local music university. He was really frustrated about his talent wasted in his own homeland. But his desperate came to an end when he met a weirdo girl by the name of Noda Megumi also known as Nodame in this series and also Viera's worst rival and a total pervert conductor, Streezemann. The story continues when he became the conductor the first time in his school orchestra called the S-oke (abbreviation for special orchestra) which consists of all those underrated music students. Also, with the help of nodame, he was able to get rid of his phobia though not completely and go abroad to continue conducting more wonderful and magnificent orchestra.
Hey, you should really watch this series if you are interested in classical music. Even if you are not interested in classical music just like me before, you will somehow fall in love with the music and rhythm of each orchestra, piano, violin performed magnificently. Of course, this series is also incorporated will lots of humorous scene that will really made you laugh out loud till you can't even sit still on your chair! This is a must-watch series!!
