Going for a trip is supposedly a happy and excited thing, where you can truly enjoy a holiday with people you wanted. But for me, it was like a nightmare, boiling point to the max, and dealing with a bunch of bitches.
First of all, as I was doing laundry at noon, received a text about "open fb chat at 5pm regarding our trip to thailand". Most utter thing that came into my mind..."what?", why the hell in earth do you want to wait until 5pm to discuss, when the discussion could be right away. (p/s: last day of air asia promo to thailand). Whereby it is the last day, shouldn't the discussion started earlier, and 5pm is a good napping time by the way- BS 1.
Tried the calm and make myself happy and excited, surrounding myself with positive energy so that I won't sound bitter for the discussion later. Then I hooked myself up with those funny comedies, action movies, open the speaker volume to the max, sing song like a mad person, etc to make myself calm down, and it is also a nice way to spend a day. Should do this more often. Yeah~~~
Then it comes to the worst part of my day. Discussion at 5pm, and there were only 2 people online on that time. For that moment, I knew my hunch was right during noon, where you set an online discussion with this group people, no body will even take you for serious. Then slowly, there were only 2 additions, until the end of discussion. There were supposedly to have like around 6-7 people having discussion, ended up with 4, what a combination, brava~~
I had to say, it started off quite smoothly, like confirming numbers of people, transportation, date and etc. It goes on smoothly, until certain issues come up, and they expected me to do what as they say. I wanna say, FUCK OFF, DON'T EVER TELL ME WHAT TO DO. My another trip to Taiwan had already fixed since last year, and everyone knows about it, no secret. The flight back and forth from Alor Star-KL-Taiwan had already been booked, just waiting everything to go on its course. Here comes the issues:
(1) Date
There's a one week gap between last paper to Taiwan. Choosing after exam rather than June because one of us gonna defer, OK, I'm can deal with that. It might be a very adventurous holidays for me. Taiwan trip starts on 15th morning, I had already told you I had to be back latest by 13th, so that I can pack up my stuff here in Kampar, drive back to AS. So that on the 14th, I can start preparing another trip, and I have a flight to KL that night as well. Then comes the fun part, told me that our trip is until 14th, and also told me might as well stay at KL and fly to Taiwan at 15th. Easy for you to say, but SHUT UP! NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO DO, where it leads to another problem.
(2) Luggage
Weather and surrounding in Thailand and Taiwan is completely different. It much more towards beach style in Thailand, and shopping style in Taiwan. Which means I need to pack to different sets of clothes in my luggage, did you ever think about that. Please enlighten me, will you have enough clean underwear for 2 weeks? I certainly don't have, and you want me to carry dirty laundry to Taiwan for a week? Yeah, sounds like a good plan too, and who's gonna pay for the overweight luggage? You? I certainly don't mind that. Will you? I don't think so.
(3) Room in Kampar
Expect me to clean up my room after I return from Taiwan. Hello, are you out of your freaking mind? I'm certainly not. Having 2 trips in a shot is fun, but tiring as well, it is a known fact. Clearing out a room is very tiring, plus if you gonna drive back to AS after that. I've tried that before, and beats me out right after I reach home. It's already tired of the trip, and you expect me to clear off my room after that? Easy for you guys to say, you guys either live in Ipoh or Ansun, which is only like 40 minutes drive from Kampar. Come on, for me is 3 hours plus. I'm risking my life and other drivers too if I were to do this. Wake up, come on.
Another thing, there's people coming in for the room. Late check out means people could not move in ON TIME. I don't know who's gonna rent this room, but what if the person is coming for orientation? Then it means he/she could not use the room until I vacate it. Savvy? I'm not causing inconvenience to other people, since the last tenant didn't cause any for me.
(4) Transportation
The mode of transportation would be flight, obviously. But since we're going after exam, air ticket would be very expensive. So, I suggest why don't we take flight from PENANG-BANGKOK, then local transportation to Phuket/Krabi. Sounds logic for a suggestion. Then here comes another bitch, as insensitive as ever, saying the stupidest thing of all. "Penang only for local flight", what the fuck is that, are you out of your freaking mind? Everybody knows Penang's airport is known as PENANG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, its a fact, Google it, and I'm saying fly to Bangkok, not Phuket. I do my homework OK, I know there's no direct flight from PG. Its just that we have to go South, then fly North, seems a bit inappropriate. Anyway, my idea was banned directly, cause it's not convenient for us anyway, so I guess we'll fly from KL.
Nevertheless, there is still another discussion on this coming Tuesday, so I'll see what result we can get. I only have one bottom line, be back by 13th to Malaysia, or else I'm off this trip. I'm not gonna please everybody else and cause so much trouble and super inconvenience to myself. Its a no brainer, I would rather not go to the trip, than not having a great during the trip, its too much of opportunity cost and problems arises. I don't care of pissing people off, you can't satisfy and suits everyone, I really had enough for this thing, I'm not gonna be a puppet and please everyone else, its not me, and I certainly will call this thing off at worst case scenario.
Until then
