IT's been like more than 1 month since I last blogged...

Gonna hold a flea market soon at Tanglin Mall on 20Oct. Hopefully can get rid of most of the things I dun need and no longer in use. May I have some good returns on that day. Haha

Well, I've been flying officially for 1 year... & for the first time I've experienced lost in another country. Last flight was to Melbourne. This time we stayed at Crown Promenade. It's a nice hotel, other than the fact that it's a brother of CROWN Towers. Everything is new, cosy, nice, and nothing to complain.

SO I took their first shuttle bus out at 0930 with 2 crew and headed out for some food and shopping. Who knows my first payment made at Cotton ON had made me realise I didn't bring my debit card out & my cash on hand is less than $15 ~_~ Damn... I left the crew and wanna go back to the hotel to get more $$$ and my CARD.

"about every quarter to the hour..." That's what the driver told us if we were to get return the shuttle back to the hotel. So I waited at Saville since 1030...

1040 I'm just too early...

1045... no sign of the shuttle...

1050... I wonder if they come...

1055... I'm feeling cold...

1103... is that the minivan??? No CROWN logo leh... is that the one??

The minivan zoomed past me without shopping nor slowing down at Saville. I got a strong feeling it is the minivan for the hotel.. It has no logo thou. It stopped at a nearby traffic light. I tried to catch a glimse of the driver, but it soon drove off before I can catch up. DAMN! I missed...

Feeling cold and lost... I went off to other streets cuz the street I'm at is the least busy I supposed... I asked around for busstops from a few Asian/Chinese. They dunno either... I approached a shop owner, he suggested that I take a cab as it would take about 5-6 dollars he claimed. Left with that bit of money, I really dun wish to spend much on transport. I dunno how long will it take to walk back... I'm really too tired and cold to think... sigh*

So I decided to take a cab cuz it will save all trouble... the driver told me it would take about $10 to get back to the hotel. Ok forget it.. I'm just down with luck. Just take me back... & I shall stay in the hotel!

When the cab drove past the hotel, I saw that minivan I missed at Saville. It's that same vehicle. I feel so frustrated to just go straight back to my room, so I walked back to the concerige and questioned them about the pickup time at Saville.

"It should be around 1052."

...I was there... (I was there lo...)

"Did you see the blue vehicle went past?"

Yes I was at Saville since 1035... IT just drove pass me. HE was fast & I didn't got a chance to catch it.

"Oh... I see. Please let me check with the driver."

Anyway, I took a cab back...

"I'm sorry the driver is not around at the moment. Could you wait for awhile?"

...

"Erm... By the way, do you have the receipt?"

No... (Why? I can claim back is it, if I know I can, I would HAVE. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore.)

"The driver is not around... blah blah blah blah"

(Ah.. damn you... I shall NOT WAIT anymore.) Nevermind, it's alright...

Well seriously I dun really know what I want from them since I have no one to confront at the moment. No receipt... No proof... Just a pathetic situation which none of them understands... I just feel upset and so down on luck.. **** & so irritated for the fact that I have to be in the cold and wait...

I went back to my room and never go out after that.. Calls from Jon and room service were my savior. Sigh I am the one who was to be blamed... Who asks me to bring 2 purses and leave 1 behind? Who asks me not to trouble others (the crew) when I'm in need? Sigh... the last time I came to Melbourne was last year or beginning of this year. Ren sheng di bu shu + no $$$... first time in my life I felt that way... It a lesson learnt and I will not let this history repeat itself again!
