心情如像過山車

6 December 2007 Mood Index : EXCITED

因為知道 Asia Miles offer 25% off for mileage redemption to 日本福岡 from 1st Jan - 16 Mar, so i asked GeorG if he can take leave to go there with me. After checking out the schedule, the only possible day that we can have a trip will be 1 Jan to 5 Jan as he said 6th Jan he needs to be groomsman of his colleague.


I called Asia miles to book the tickets, luckily i can secure tickets for 1st Jan and 4th Jan, while 5th have to be put on the waiting list.

7 - 8 December Mood Index : 期待 MIXED WITH FRUSTRATION

During my planning, i found that I can take JR from Hakata (博多) to Beppu (別府) and Harmony Land (Hello Kitty Land in 九州). I was so excited as i want to go to Harmony Land to visit my lovest Hello Kitty.
And i also found a lovely place called 湯布院 midway between Beppu and Hakata with lots of traditional 和式溫泉. I love ONSEN!!

But it is really difficult to make booking with the hotels as >90% of the hotel websites are in Japanese, and the problem is I do not know Japanese at all. Even though some of the hotels got English website, once i decided to make a reservation and click "Reservation", it would then direct me to the "booking page" in Japanese again.....want to kill them ~.~"

Another thing that made me feel frustrated was that 1 Jan is Japan's new year, so most of the hotels have been fully booked already for 1 Jan to 3 Jan....sob sob....after spending the whole sat to tackle with those crazy japanese websites, i finally managed to secure a room in Beppu on 2 Jan and 湯布院 on 3 Jan! I only took my dinner at 11:20p.m. on sat night after working very hard for the whole day!

9 - 10 December Mood Index : LIFE IS FULL OF HOPE

As i said before, we are on the waiting list on the return flight on 5th Jan, but my gut feeling is "we can get the tickets", so when i plan my itin, i always think i will have 5 days trip.....from time to time, i visit cathaypacific website to check out the waiting status...but still it shows "On Request". But as i said, life is full of Hope ar!

11 December Mood Index : FROM HEAVEN TO HELL

In the afternoon, i check out cathay pacific website....oh GREAT, i found that our waiting for 5 Jan flight is "CONFIRMED"...yeah, i have 5 days trip la ^o^
Today is a GREAT day, i have tickets for 5 days, i have a great dinner @ 鋰魚門, i have dessert @ 松記.

But bad news arrive when i come back home at midnight.....
1st : GeorG told me that next Monday morning, he needs to go back to office for a presentation to investment bankers (next Monday we suppose are having holi in Macau's Venetian Hotel) as he wrongly "believe" that the training should be on next Tuesday and he cannot assign this duty to other colleagues at this final stage.....how come you can forget this important trip, we have marked your diary as early as September before the Hotel's opening!!
OK fine....you love travel to and fro to Macau for consecutive three days ~.~" (Coincidently, his client invited them to dinner @ Macau on this coming sat, while we will go to Macau on Sun and stay 1 night) I cannot stop you. Let's sit down and plan for the 福岡 trip...
within 10 minutes we have come out a brief budget and also the itin. Things seems to be going smooth....
but then another bad news came!!

2nd : GeorG suddenly talk to himself that his colleague might not be getting married on 6 Jan (Sunday), should be on 5 Jan! better check and reconfirm.....he then send sms to get confirmation.....as you can imagine, i said it is a bad news, so the answer is "he is getting married on 5 Jan, not 6 Jan." That means we can only have trip until 4 Jan, i.e. 4 days trip only.
What's the point i work so hard on making bookings on saturday, what's the point i was so happy this afternoon when i find that i can have 5 days trip. GeorG, you destroy my planning, ruin my happiness, how can i go to all those places in 4 days only? How come you can be so ridiculous to forget all these important schedules (having personal trip) one after one? Tell me, what you think could resolve the problem? What's wrong I have done to deserve all these?

If you are a loyal reader to my blog, you know i used to post happy news to this blog....perhaps this one is the first exception.

Warning : Sillyer is not at a nice mood today, dont get in touch with her or do anything to trigger her temper!!!!

  • oh dear! don't be so mad! i can understand that. however, being in this line is not easy as well. i know you've been very understanding and did a lot of hardwork in planning for the trip. but forgive him this time...i belief he's as stressed and upset, to have accidentally upset his dear wife! take great care!
