let me tell you smthn stupid. last Fri i was in sch until 11pm!! tryin to book the hostels and trains/planes for my travel trip before sch starts. machiam like rushin project lydat. noone was in sch at such a late hour lor. at least we managed to finish bookin all the stuff for the trip.

anw let me tell u smthn more stupid. while bookin the plane tix online, HY was askin me, “eh last name is our name ah? first name is surname?” i dug out my registration form which stated very plainly that last name is surname but i dunno why i stupidly told her yes. i remembered i was quite tired at that time. i guess most prob it was me, unless i said otherwise and she was the blur one but i doubt. anw by the time we realised the mistake, the bookin was already confirmed. then we started panicking. like what if they are so ngiao and don’t let us board the plane? then sure kns. then i was lookin at the confirmation slip which says that “changes to flight/date/name are subject to a fee” i was like omg. then i saw that changes made within 2 hrs aft the bookin would be free of charge. so i kan cheong spider alrdy. i looked at the confirmation slip and saw the Danish, Norwegian, and i think Swedish numbers on it. so i actually took my HANDPHONE and called the Danish number, seeing as my flight would be departing from Denmark. like i have no f-king idea how much they are gonna charge me, and on a handphone some more. but i was panicking like mad lah!! :noshake:

then the automated voice was speakin in Danish!! like wth. i dunno what she was sayin; i could juz barely make out the “press 1, press 2, press 3” thing. but i couldn’t mk out the options. so u knw normally when u call these hotlines, the last option is normally “press 0 (or sm other number) to speak to the operator”. well it could prolly be different in Denmark, but i just pressed 0. then the woman started talkin dunno wat rubbish again, and i just pressed 0 again. then i got disconnected! haha must be cos i anyhow pressed the wrong button. i think the call took 2 mins max? how much would that cost? :shake:

anw, i just suddenly remembered abt Rob aft i got off the phone; dunno why i didn’t think abt him earlier, i could have saved the money from makin the call!! thank goodness he was online, and i got got him to help me call the Norwegian number. he got it changed in the end, and apparently the operator said there’s no charge for changing names!! :what: anw he was tryin to calm me down while i was frantically tryin to explain the whole mess to him thru MSN and thinkin abt all the horrible scenarios that could happen if we couldn’t change our names. he said it doesn’t really matter becos our names are still the same, just the order is switched but it shldn’t mk much of a difference anw. i was worried that they would be stickler for rules but he said that’s only in Singapore!! :tongue1

anw yea i was just so grateful that he was online at that time; that he was on MSN even while he was at work; that he was free to call for me (even if he had to do it during worktime + thru lunch time cos he had to wait on the line and he got disconnected as well!); that he was willing to help me. i think i would have been worried sick if we couldn’t change it and HY would have killed me if we had to pay extra charges.

i guess i would really have to drop by and see him when i get to Denmark. hope i really can squeeze in the time to visit all the non-major cities where all my friends are. he’s in Stavanger now, shld be heading to Trondheim aft the summer hols. ZH’s friend is in Maastrich in Netherlands; Yvonne would be in Amsterdam. Amsterdam shldnt be a problem – i’m so lookin foward to going there and hopefully meetin up with her! (tho she didn’t sound very enthu abt it haha) YX wld be in Brugge; YL would be in Lund; Isa in Bath. and not forgettin Ig in London! confirm must stop there while he’s there. i just hope i have the money to do so!!

well anw more abt my travel trip next time. feelin quite tired now. :shroom:
