Yeah, no thanks to the Now Everyone Can Fly airline that my sisters and I are not celebrating Chinese New Year in my own hometown this year. The cheek of the airline, those people deliberately refused to give full promotion for Chinese New Year air tickets, lowering the price only when there were leftover tickets at the ninth or tenth hour (read: close to eleventh hour *cross arms*), amounting to RM500++ per person for a return trip, down 50% from the freaking RM1000++ mark before that. Even so, with the four of us siblings here, the total amount would still reach a freaking RM2000++!
Just when I had to part with most of my savings too for unavoidable reasons… 2007 was definitely not a good financial year for me… *sob*
Hellooooooooo AirAsia, thought you were a no-frills low-cost airline?? How can you charge more than RM1000 for a return flight, which is around the figure offered by MAS?? And you don’t even provide free meals!! You even have the cheek to exclude peak seasons from your promotional offerings now!! You don’t care about your customers at all!! Heartless, selfish, profit-hungry, money-sucking airline leech monster!!!! *sob*
And so, this year I’m stuck in the big city for Chinese New Year (no thanks to AirAsia!). At first I thought that it would be just as well, as I need time to prepare for the CFA Level 1 scholarship contest paper on February 23. But, I find that the more Chinese New Year looms nearer, the more I wish I’m at home now… Almost cried when I thought of it on my walk home from the LRT station hours ago (well, I am a crybaby by nature…). I promise myself that I’ll definitely be back for Chinese New Year next year. Period. You guys out there who are heading home for the auspicious celebration, be very grateful that you are able to do so. Don’t take things for granted.
Stupid. I’m homesick. No thanks to AirAsia. Tak guna.
