I'm back!
Hey yo people! Of course I'm alive and kicking!
I said the last sentence as if someone asked me if I'm dead or what.
But never mind. I'm still alive! Yet to collect my USD 400 from Qantas yet. And I just realised I should talk about my trip back!
So there it goes... Qantas checked in too many people and so about 7 people (including me) who was supposed to be on the flight didn't manage to get a seat to go to Singapore because, as the Qantas people claimed, they ran out of seats throughout all classes, including first class. SIA, British Airways and blah blah (nobody had the mood to listen to his crap really, I think) had all ran out of seats too.
Now, how am I suppose to believe that?
Damn pissed at that time la! I don't know why I'm getting worked up now also!
So the plan was to let us fly to Perth at the very night, stayed over at a hotel until the morning, and then take a flight from Perth to Singapore.
So is breakfast included I asked.
And this was the answer I got.
(smile) Normally we check our passangers into the hotel nearest to the airport. So, if it's in Melbourne, (point to the building outside), it'll be Hilton.
WAH. SO GOOD LO. GIVE ME SUCH A GOOD HOTEL NAME (to be continued, I'm getting random)
--- ok. i don't like hilton. i mean, i don't like hilton hotels. ok. i also don't like the hiltons anyway. but i don't like the people who stays in hilton also. look at paris. she's like this cause all of you stayed there. if you didn't stay there, she won't have the money to be what she is now. and what is she now? EX-PRISONER ---
(continue from here, you might want to re-read the start of the sentence and skip the middle paragraph before continuing, like what I'm going to do after typing this close bracket)
AND GIVE ME SUCH HIGH HOPES.
Then you know what? I SAW HOTELS ON MY WAY TO MY HOTEL!
Let's add more details to the previous sentence.
I SAW BIG AND MAGNIFICIENT HOTELS ON MY WAY TO MY HOTEL WHICH IS SO SMALL THAT I WON'T EVEN KNOW IT IS A HOTEL IF I WASN'T GOING TO STAY IN IT.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
But then again, to my surprise, the service at the hotel was better than what Qantas had to offer.
You see, they knew what to do. Even though they were expecting a voucher given to my by Qantas which Qantas never gave me, they still checked me in. They used common sense instead of going by the book. They obviously know I'm not fake because they were expecting Qantas passengers that night (and the voucher) but when I told them that I was only given the cheques for the taxis they said never mind and checked me in and gave me my keys.
The next day the same thing happened. While checking out, they asked for the voucher again. I don't blame that receptionist. She didn't know I don't have it. But when I told her, she went to ask the manager. The manager came out, ask me if I had my breakfast (wants me to go have mine while waiting, I guess) but then I told him I'm skipping breakfast (cause I didn't know it's included. see. that guy didn't answer my question at Melbourne airport) then he did all he had to do and checked me out and the receptionist even helped me booked a taxi to the Perth International Airport.
Let's jump back and talk about the room. The only weird thing is that there wasn't toothbrush and toothpaste. But there was iron and ironing board, one big study desk, a queen size bed, a tv with pay-tv and free channels, a telephone with alarm clock and a internet port.
WAH LAO. BETTER THAN MY OWN HOME IN MELBOURNE LA!
Even comparing it to my room in Malaysia they still won cause my room don't have a TV.
Now let's jump forward to my actual flight.
I didn't plan to eat anything. But then that's no excuse for the stewards and stewardesses to MISS ME WHILE SERVING LUNCH. I was sitting on the right aisle seat in the middle section. AND WHEN LUNCH WAS SERVED FOR THE LEFT SIDE, THE TWO SEATS BESIDE ME GOT SERVED. AND WHEN THEY WERE SERVING THE RIGHT SIDE, THEY JUST SIMPLY MISSED ME.
I didn't know I looked so pissed with them that it was written on my face that I didn't want to taste their food.
Then I thought they would serve ice cream as dessert again like they did on my flight to Melbourne. That one they don't ask. They just it to everyone. To me I let God make decisions sometimes, not that I believe He exsists la. But if the stewards ask, then I say I don't want. If they didn't ask, then I'll just take. So for the ice cream, they didn't ask and so I just took and eat. But hey, remember, that was during the trip to Melbourne.
On my way back, THEY ONLY GAVE OUT WATER! And so for the 5 hour trip the only thing I had was the water.
I also watched The Holiday onboard their on-demand entertainment. Which was good cause even on Singapore Airlines not all planes have on-demand entertainment. Or maybe I'm just lucky enough to be on board one of those Qantas planes that have on-demand entertainment.
(on-demand means you can rewind/pause/fast-forward movies and shows. so it's like watching dvd. not like watching tv)
But then the movie sucks. Ok, to be exact, the video quality of the movie SUCKS. It didn't do any justice to an otherwise great movie! Watching it on Qantas reminds me of those pirated VCDs that people used to buy and watch and live with the quality since it was so cheap.
Pissed off, tired, and happy to have my iPod with me, I listen to my iPod and wanted to sleep for the last few hours of the flight. But then, the seat have to be spoilt to make my journey experience complete.
And so I tried to sleep with my seat upright. I failed. Wanted to watch the flight status to know where on Earth I am with Qantas. Then then, the channel was down.
Like, seriously, what could had gone worse other than having an air crash?
