i stupidly booked a promotion flight on the 8th, and the exhibition date's on the 9th.
so, i gotta book a NEW flight because SQ is that firm about no refunds or upgrade of seats.
you know what? the most pissing thing is that the 2nd time i called SQ, the woman on the other side said i could UPGRADE THE TICKET IF I PAID $423. THEN, THE THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH TIMES I CALLED THE MAN ON THE OTHER SIDE ADAMANTLY SAID IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
apart from the fact that i'm about to lose $500 ($700 of total fees minus $200 of refundable airport taxes)... ok, fine, it's a promotion ticket and refunds aren't possible. or so the r&r says. then, why did the woman say otherwise? i told the 3rd/4th man (same) that the 2nd woman quoted the price, $423. then he claimed he 'checked with the woman' who served me and the woman said she never said that.
HA. saving their asses, right.
and, please get attendants with less accents and speak slower.
on the other hand, it's so hard to navigate around the other airline's website. i'm trying to book a cheap flight on the other airline now, i made a second stupid mistake of only booking a one-way ticket to shanghai when i should have just booked a two-way. didn't know about no-show policy. took me a GOOGLE SEARCH to find the customer service page so that i can call the singapore branch office tomorrow. fantastic.
i am an airplane ticket reservation noob.
add to the frustrations of portfolios, publication, ippt, and buying the expo entry ticket (which i'm still clueless about), i feel real murderous and want to take it out on somebody!!!
to do during the holidays: find a job.
***
the exhibition is taking a toll on my sanity!!!
can i just not do anything at all!? omg the supposed three month-long holiday is effectively only TWO months because of the portfolios and exhibition [which i'm not even excited about]!!!
it takes: at least 10 minutes to photoshop just ONE file, and i have hundreds to do!? 10-15 minutes is probably quite a bad estimate, for outrageously hard-to-photoshop photos (because i'm a photoshop noob) it takes a couple of tries to save the photo = more time.
why am i not enjoying myself now?? or am i over-worrying and complicating matters...
can i just quit school, now now now. go find a job, live day to day just working and relaxing. just escape!!
