Detour ..

a friend spent the night at my place so that she could go to airport for her flight home today. i was still laying around waiting for the time to take a shower when the house phone rang. i was surprised upon hearing her voice when she's supposed to be few minutes aways from her hometown. sounding so upset she told me that she couldn't fly. why? the ticket was confirmed but her name was not in the list and the flight was full. she tried upgrading to business class but it is full as well. she got her ticket from muhibbah travel, the agency i've been using for the past 6 years. she was so annoyed as this is not the 1st time it happened to her - she encountered the same problem last year with the same agency. the only difference was she managed to get a seat after begging the staff.
she called me few minutes ago saying that she managed to get a ticket so she'd be flying to KL, waited for 2 hours there before taking the flight to medan. supposed to reach home at 8ish am now she'd arrived there around 4 pm. my goodness!! i know she's going to call muhibbah next, complaining and demanding for a refund. honestly, i believe she is partly to be blamed as well. i remember the agency calling me asking if i still want to get the ticket as they need to issue it by certain date. and i was puzzled when my friend kept on forgetting to call the agency asking them to send the ticket to her office. guess by the time the ticket is issued, the seat has been given to another passenger in the waiting list. anyways, she'd still be home today and managed to get a glimpse of KL for 2 hours....
oh, on another note - yiiiihaaaa .. my mobile bill this month is only $152. bisous
