haiz .. went to the Natas Fair yesterday was given a great deal..
but today i have lost it .. thanks to the tour agent!! .. worse still she told me that any kind of citibank cards will have 50 off per couple..
the next thing come to my mind was that since there are 6 ppl going with me.. i can get 150 off from the total price of the package of 7.. at that moment i was half hearted in considering the package that she has offered to me.. so i told her i will walk around and compare the price before going to her.. next the tour agent say that if i put a 50 deposit with her i can safeguard my booking and i can pay the full lump sum the next day.. after which i went to a couple of booths to compare the price and found out that the price initial tour agent quote me is the best.. i admit it is partly my fault for making assumptions and not counterchecking with her as in what booking i am safeguarding that i gave her a chance to twist her words to say that the 50 deposit is only to safeguard the booking of the price of the hotel room but not the airfare..

sadly, today the air ticket fare increases, so the tour agent quote me an exorbitant price.. so we went to another tour agent and he gave me another price cheaper.. so we settled on it..

Well.. anyway now i have learnt that whenever i am dealing with anything related to money.. i must be very careful and not to make any assumptions .. ask for all the details from A to Z ..
to prevent them from twisting their words .. i will take a voice recorder with me as a prove of evidence in court .. now i have realised that the world is complicated .. full of cheats who r out dere to squeeze you dry..

above all.. i swear i will never book from any tour agencies except from airlines.. even to those places where it is inaccessible i will never book any tour packages and gave those agents the chance to pocket our money... I would rather go any have an international driving license and travel everywhere around by myself..

what a disappointment i had with these tour agents!!! with these kind of people around.. Singapore is a ugly place to live in.. thanks to them for giving Singapore such a "good" reputation!!!



the world will turn WILD.
