just at this moment

sighh.. things don't seem to be going very well for now..

haven't start studying for test...

just started applying for jobs only, which is pretty late in my opinion.. considering so many friends already went for their first rounds, and that i really do not want to be looking for jobs after graduation, since i'll be on holiday for so long then. had a horrible time filling up all the online application forms. took HOURS. why can't we deposit resumes?? brr. they're so anal and detailed. govt website even has a list of hobbies for u to choose from... ??!

grad trip planning giving lotsa headaches. no joke planning a 3 week vacation from scratch. a super budget one at that. everything gotta find the cheapest possible. sheesh.

yesterday, i had a horrible time at the STA branch at science. the woman at the counter was a ****h. ok we applied for the isic card. so w/o speaking a word to us, she just went ahead and did the card for us. then we were chatting to her n telling her we're going to aussie, and she said, oh then u shouldn't have applied for this card, but the yha card instead. ok fine. money paid, too bad. this one's our own fault for not checking properly. nvm.

then she told us bout this qantas flight package, which allows us to enjoy 3 aussie cities at a rather reasonable price. so that got us interested of cos, and we asked her more qns bout it.. like whether it's available for the dates we're flying.. the states n all that.. and she became all uptight. she said.. oh you have to pay me $40 for the service charge for helping you check.. you dun pay me i won't help you check one.. where got free service one.. yeah those exact words, roughly. sheesh. no money no talk. fine.

we went back again to ask her nicely, thick-skinnedly, if she can tell us abit more bout this package.. so she softened abit, and told us abit. okie so we thanked her n told her we're gonna think bout it and come back soon to book. and today we called her up, and guess what she said? oh today's the last day for the promotion already, and our branch is closing now.. you're too late.......

like wateva. why tell us bout the package, but dun tell us the deadline, when you very well know that it's ending the very next day? got us all excited, came back to plan n calculate, only to find out it has ended. we did check out the website, but the only thing we could find was the 2 cities package, not 3... and that promotion ends in april. so we had no idea that this particular promotion which is not stated anywhere on that blardy website, is ending on this particular day. you'd expect pple to tell u this kind of thing, especially if it's ending like.. right away. right?

these pple dunno how to do biz. either that, or they're just working for a boss whom they hate anyway. and they obviously have no pride in their work.

nvm... gonna stick back to our original plan... i know that things will work out in the end, though we still need to put in so much more effort, and time is running out. but i still think that planning our own trip is more fruitful than anything else..

i'm just in a general bad mood la.. period.

plus my expenditure bank account is running so low now.. it's gonna hit 2 digits. and not to mention the stupid toothache i'm having now after the dental visit earlier in the day. when u have no time no money, and u can't eat anything to destress, you get really sick n peeved.

rarrr.

wah! *pat*pat* I think the lady has mood swings.... maybe it's becoz she's always busy and has no one else to help her? Mmmm... actually, She's usually quite ok with me.

So I dont suppose you guys brought any packages from STA? what is ur original plan?

hey.. i dunno wat happened either.. we spoke to her politely leh... anyway i think she gave us wrong info on the 3 cities package, cos we called another branch and they told us there is no such promotion..haha. which explains why she promptly told us it has ended.

we may be taking the 2 cities package from STA, or Brit Airways. shld be booking soon, but these few days r packed with tests n presentations.

anyway did u buy any package from them? have u bought your internal flights too?
