Kiasu & Kuku.....

Jetstar had this promotion for their 5th Birthday, your friend get to travel for free when you purchased a ticket to selected destination. I went to check and was trilled to know that tickets to Hong Kong only cost $333 for 2 pax, yes.. including airport tax and misc charges! That is so cheap lor, how not to buy?

Discussed with hubby and he thought since it is so cheap, might as well bring his mummy along and decided to ask his siblings too. Due to the super short notice we were unable to make a good arrangement until few hours before the end of the promotion.

I quickly log on to their webbie and made my booking, and realized that the free for friends tickets are sold out for the departure flight so meaning we gotta pay a bit more. Well we thought it is still considered cheap and also do not want to disappoint my MIL and grandparents so we decided to go ahead. However i couldn't make a booking for 5 as the promotion only allow for tickets purchased in pair. I then separately book an individual ticket before returning to book the remaining 4 and guess what..........

THE FREE FOR FRIENDS TICKETS ARE FULLY SOLD OUT when i return back to book after a mere 5 minutes. TMD!!! i was dumbfounded and stared at the screen for a few more minutes and break the news to hubby which was stunned too. We have no choice but to pay $350 for each pax now, $750 extra in total.. damnit!! =( Being kiasu won't lead to any good thing. The KuKu part is i could have book the earlier flight for that day but i simply do not understand why i chose the later one without even thinking, resulting in waste of half day! N i wrote the wrong postal code when i am filling in my details. Couldn't understand what went wrong with me!!

Ah Ma Bday + Concert

17 of us celebrated Grandma's birthday @ Tao's on 中秋节... Everyone was already full before main course is served and i was pretty surprised Ah Ma didn't gave up eating like what i had expected cos i thought she would say she is full after the 2nd course! =P

As there were too many of us and with the table arranged in a manner whereby we could hardly communicated with each other, nevertheless everyone had their fair share of fun that afternoon. Most of the time were making fun of Ah Ma, making her hold hand with Ah Gong while walking back to the restaurant. =)

Cousin Francis brought his gf Ame along for this birthday lunch, am happy that he found himself a nice girl. So happy to see him smiling happily from time to time when he teased his girl.

Waiting for food to be served

Went over to Orchard Central for some shopping as hubby n i still had some time to spare before the concert start. Went in to Tissot to look at watches, n hubby set his eyes on a pair of automatic watch. So.... his anniversary pressie is settled !! *wink* At the same time, i chose one so as to have a pair of couple watch, however the design wasn't exactly similar so couldn't really count as a pair of 'couple watch' la.. =P Well, at least they both have the same black face and is of the same brand. Lalala..


Attended Willam So and Ronald Cheng's concert held at Max Pavilion, it was our virgin visit to Max Pavilion and thought it look quite shabby as compared to the indoor stadium. The stage look small and the chair wasn't comfortable at all and it is freaking cold! The only consolation is that i am sitting quite near to the stage, ROW 8 at Max Pavilion is much closer to the stage as compared to ROW 8 at Indoor Stadium. =)

William walk down the stage and went up close to the audiences during his first few songs and everyone was rushing up to him trying to get as closed as possible. No fancy props and dances, mostly are their popular KTV songs that we are very familiar with. During their encore, Ronald walk down the stage and to my area so i quickly ran up trying to snap a pic of him upclose. However didn't managed to take a proper one but instead i managed to shake his hand. Woohoooooo!! Didn't really like him a lot before this but don't know why i got so excited when i managed to shook his hand. =)

So.... afterall it is not that bad to attend concert at Max Pavilion cos we are able to get up close with the Singers, this is something which we seldom get to experience at the indoor stadium.
