i want to watch!

start spreading the news.

yes! i'm going to the big apple! to the land of cream cheese and bagles, of streets and avenues, and of all things glamorous and exciting!

i have FINALLY settled my flight details.

good news is, i can fly to the home of lady liberty using my da's miles! in shoe slut's words, i completely lucked out. long story short, i won the waiting game against SIA. so now i'm flying to the land of skyscrapers for less than S$500.00, which means more money for booze, high-class dining and shopping!

yes! broadway, here i come!

damn krisflyer miles.

all i'd wanted to do was go on a nice, affordable holiday to the big apple with a close pal.

i thought i'd had it all worked out. i'd fly out to the big apple on miles my da's accumulated, and stay with shoe slut who's been seconded there for 3 months. flight and accom all gao dim (settled)! i just need to save enough money for my shopping habit and bagel addiction.

or so i thought.

i visited the sq counter at paragon today, and found out, to my absolute horror, that all the flights were FULLY BOOKED.

which means i can fly out to the home of paris hilton and nicole ritchie, but i won't be able to fly back till a month later. that's a week after shoe slut's due to be back in singapore, and 3 weeks after my funds are estimated to run out!

so i booked myself on whatever flights i could get my miserable paws on, and waitlisted myself on another 3 more flights.

then i came home and logged on to the sq website. which was when i discovered, to my indignance, that if i were to PAY for the flight, i'd have lots of seats to choose from! of cos, i'd also be S$3000.00 poorer. but i get to fly out and come back on the dates that i want!

this discrimination is absolutely infuriating! what's the point of giving me all these miles if i can't redeem them when i want to? I'll accumulate millions and millions of miles and carry them ALL with me to my grave cos' everytime i want to go on a trip, the bloody flight's FULLY BOOKED. is this how they reward the loyalty of their frequent flyer? this is too too unreasonable!

i think i shall write a complaint letter.

then again, if i were a paying customer, and i'd just found out my seat's been given up to a non-paying-mile-redeeming-stingy-scrooge, i'd be writing a complaint letter as well.

sia just can't win.
