'bye' to my KK trip

Last October 2008... went out dinner with a few colleagues from another departments....  then end up we are discussing  for a trip to Sabah or Sarawak...as one of them is from Miri.. she can bring us around..

While we are still warm on the 'topic' we start to search on MAS and AirAsia.... especially for the attractive Super Low Fares ... Without further consideration we decided to purchase the MAS air tickets for just RM200 each person for the trip to Kota Kinabalu (KK) in February 2009

On and off we google for KK tourist attractions.... and recommends by the Sabah colleague on the following plan...

First day reaching in KK we will go up to Kinabalu Park.  but of coz we are not gonna climb the KK mountain... (no strength and stamina for tat.. hahaa)

what a nice hotel.... should be relaxing....

Next day... will be visiting the city and take speed boat to Pulau Manukan... 

snorkeling and enjoying the beautiful sandy beach will be perfect.... one more thing i'm looking forward is the SUN SET...!!! yeah... must be nice....

third day ..

we will be back to the city...   and have some shopping or walk around.... 

all 3 accommodation and car rental for transportation will roughly cost RM600+  

As for my first trip to KK... i think is quite reasonable as all packages on web is exceeding 1K. 

HOWEVER, before I would agree to the plan.... 

In January 2009, one of the colleagues (A) suddenly tell us she might not be going  =.=''     so we thinking to proceed without her.... 

But bad news always come together..... the Miri colleague say she is NOT going (without any reason).....but will still help us on the reservations and bookings... 

What to do... 2 out of 5 is not going........ so We thought of calling off the trip ..

In february, (A) say she felt bad to left us like that... so she decided to go again. And she will contact the miri colleague for the bookings....   (but we doubt about it as she is the 1st who wanted to call off the trip)

so we let her to decide.... until 2 days ago (monday)... she called to ask me shall we book the hotels ''today''?   I was like HAR..!!!! now only u wanna book??... but she replied me.. is ok to book now... no need to book in advance... 

Sorry if i am too kampung gal or wat.... i never heard that people book hotel rooms only 3 days ahead from the trip where you need to take a flight to the destination...   and we are not going to PD with jus a bag pack...neither we are ''flying'' to Genting Highlands..!!  

I was just shocked and i think if we are to go there safely... there will sure be some arguments or dissatisfaction on the journey...as we are not even properly plan.....

so after discussion with another colleague.... we decided just to cancel the trip bah..... i don't want to reach KK and sleep at the street..... !!!  

my forfeited MAS Electronic Ticket...   

I am actually flying tomorrow early morning...!!! I want holidays..!!!! 

but i have to ''wake up'' (from dream) and inform my boss to cancel my leave....... arrggg.....>.<

hope to plan for a holiday trip soon.... but of coz.... not with colleagues anymore.... hahahhaaa

scared scared la....... what a big lesson.....  although rm200 is not big... but still an amount of money..!!    now we understand how come MAS and AirAsia still earning alot from giving low fares and no fuel charge...

**may be i can just pack and jump into the plane tml morning..... any bloggers from KK to ''pack'' me home???  lolz
