Champion of Low Fares??? MAS vs AirAsia...

It's amazing how TWO competitive airlines get together to compete and the outcome is....CHEAP FARES for everyone...hahaha...lucky us!!!

Anyway, this morning I was going through Airasia's website because I wanted to get a ticket for my brother-in-law and the first thing that greeted me on the AirAsia page is "Champion of Low Fares" with a cute golden crown on its letter "O". I though that was really interesting and the competition is really ON! You know, when I first saw MAS having the RM0 Fare, the first thing that came to my mind was "Sure AirAsia will have RM0 fare soon as well, they sure tak mahu kalah wan!" and true enough! a few days later "TA-DA!" AirAsia was on its RM0 Fare as well.

So I did a comparison on the flight ticket of MAS and AirAsia from Miri to KL and back (I did this because I tidak mahu rasa as if I rugi I bought the AirAsia return ticket early this year for RM0 from Miri to KL and back!!!...hahaha...I know sometimes I very kiasu wan!!!). This is what I found out:

AirAsia Return Ticket from Miri to KL to Miri - RM158

MAS Return Ticket from Miri to KL to Miri - RM240

Therefore AirAsia is still cheaper!!! Of course MAS has more CLASS but hey some people just want to get from one destination to another....like me!!!

But there are definitely people who would pay another RM82 to have the CLASS and that MAS has to offer....

So which one would you consider yourself to be in? Save money on the flight and have more money to spend shopping? Or Pay the extra RM82 and still have money to spend because you are SO DAMN RICH!!!...hahaha......this means that you're either rich or poor or just plain kedekut when it comes to spending money....which is a good thing lah, not something bad...at least you know for sure you will never starve to death and you'll probably be so damn rich in the future!!! Than you can be like the SO DAMN RICH people and buy only MAS tickets!!!

Ok, enough about Rich or Poor.....hahaha....that's making me sad.....lets move on with this topic...

Now, since MAS and AirAsia are in competition, it is therefore always wise to make sure that before you buy any ticket, check out both websites. You might find yourself looking at better price/cheaper tickets on the MAS website than the AirAsia. Don't just buy AirAsia ticket without thinking about MAS ticket cause you might very likely regret having to put out more money when you could have put out less and have CLASS!!! So, take note of that! I think most of you know already lah...cause I know you all reading my blog very smart wan....but I'm just letting you all know lah, just in case bah! :P

So, that's about it regarding MAS vs AirAsia!!! At the end of it all I'm very thankful for AIRASIA!!! Without them, their phrase "Now Everyone Can Fly" would have only been a dream...

To end it of....this is the price for RM0 Fare from Miri to Kuching (One Way):

AirAsia - RM57 (inclusive of 1 checked bagage + insurance)

MAS - RM76 (of course it automatically covers checked baggage and insurance (I think) too...)

And the very Final Ending (hahaha...I know sometimes I get carried away, I just can't end!!! but this is seriously it!!!)

When AirAsia first started,
We said "How could the price be so cheap?"
Maybe the plane is outdated! we thought,
Seriously could it be that cheap?

But despite all that was rumoured,
We said "Lets try it, its cheap!"
So we got on the plane and prayed!
GUESS WHAT?,
It arrived!, it seriously DID!!!

*wink* :)

Pictures taken in KK!!!

I finally manage to get some pictures of me and the netballers in KK. Have fun looking!!!

This is one of the rooms we stayed in...
This is the toilet we had...not the one I use as I was in a different appartment and I didn't have a camera to take the toilet I used but nevertheless it looks exactly the same...accept...


....that we didn't have a water fountain in ours...haha...if you look closely you can see the water pancuting out from the flusher thingy (don't really know what its called)..apparently, they had a geomatics engineer to "TRY" and fix it....and TA-DA! that's what happens....hahaha...that's what I heard lah...from reliable sources :P

That's part of the kitchen....I assume that it can be converted into a bar if you stay there permanently :)

That's the cooking area....really nice eh!....we manage to cook some maggie mee from here (again, this is not a pcture from our kitchen but its pretty much the same!)

This is the nice living room we had...very nice a cosy...that's Olivia there...one of our netballers...we just arrive so she's testing the sofa before anyone else...

Us looking all fresh and ready to win the game!!!...Well actually, wether we win or lose it wouldn't really matter cause we all were just happy to be in KK!!!

Another picture before the game....yea..yea..we girls love to take picture...its second nature to us...sebut camera saja and everybody is so excited!!! Hahaha...muka 5 sen already everybody!!!

This time this picture is taken with the Sabah netballers as well, if you look closely to one of them you will notice that one of them has very very long eye lashes!!! I think that was a tactic to distract us during the game...hahaha....we even had our players admit that they were seriously distracted by the eyelashes that they forget to actually play the game....hahaha....

That's me running without the ball, not sure whether I was running in the right direction....hahaha...the one who has the ball is Olivia...I think....

That's Ernyza shooting....she very cun wan....I think that went in!!! Sylvia is under the net ready to catch it so she could try shoot if the ball didn't go in....kerjasama lah, that's what we call it...

We also share shoes!!! You see, if one player is playing very well or not playing very well but nevertheless has to come out due to some injury, the other player who takes over her position must use her shoes!!! Nasib Val sama size kaki....hahaha... :P

That's me and Norol watching the guys football. Not that we wanted to be there but we didn't have much of a choice. We netballers always have to do the waiting. We waited when we first arrive to play because the badmintoners (if there is such a word) had to play first. Than after the game, we had to wait again because the bus just wouldn't take us home without the footballers...so that's how I ended up in front of the football field...

The two beautiful models/cheerleaders for the football team aka netballers!!! Tengah waiting also lah for them to finish...so while waiting ambik gambar lah...what else to do???

As for this lady here (Ernyza), I don't know lah what she is doing....meditating eh....what you doing ah En??? Posing kah? Posing with full concentration to the sea is it??? Or trying to lepas geram because we all had to wait so long for the footballers??? (footballers lagik!:P)

Still waiting....see the sun want to go down already....wait so long already...so take picture again lah!!! From as much as I can see. that is Munah our Coach facing directly to the camera, Norol next to her on the right our ever so steady GK (don't mess with her, she very lihai wan!!!), and on the far right is our Captain/Team Manager, CYNTHIA!!!! ...hahaha...I write like I'm giving a special awards to Cynthia like that...hahaha....

And that is the Sun setting....so beautiful kan!!! Seriously KK is one heck of a place....wouldn't mind moving there for a year or two till I get really bored than come back to Miri again...hehe...

That's all I have for now....tune back for more pictures...once I have received them..TA...

Back from KK!!!

I just got back from KK last Sunday from our KRP sports trip and I seriously had a blast. Wish I didn't have to come back to the real world of early mornings and work..haha..but despite all that, I am glad to be home cause I've missed my little monster...:P.

When we reached KK around 8.45am on a Friday morning, we were excited to see our living place for the next 2 nights. Sad to say, when we arrived at the Likas Apartment, we were greeted with a very old looking building which didn't have much life in it anymore. The first thing that came to my mind was, I seriously hope this place is not HAUNTED (I'm seriously hopeless when it comes to old building, I somehow always manage to relate it with ghosts!!!). Anyway, we were given our keys to the apartments which we were suppose to be in. While walking towards the room we were again greeted with a corridor that was not carpeted and not even air-conditioned and I mentioned to one of netballers "I hope the inside is nicer than the outside". And when we finally reach our door to the apartment, we got the key in, turn the lock and to everybody's surprise, the apartment was beautiful!!! It had 3 rooms and I think it was just refurbished....so everything was pretty brand new. So I was happy. Unfortunately, the toilet had a bit of problem cause the water didn't want to go down after we showered and the other apartment had a natural water fountain in their toilet...hahaha....but all was good! As long as we all had a good bed to sleep in.

After we unpacked and rested for a bit it was time for us to go down to play our netball. Netball was good as we won 31 - 4 to Yayasan Sabah. It was a good win and definitely a game to remember. Especially the netballer from Yayasan Sabah who had fake eyelashes on and a lot of powder on her face!!! I remebered someone saying "Is this a modelling competition or netball???" hahaha...if it was a modelling competition, they might have won us hands down!!! :P

That night we all went to Cock and Bull to watch the Pool Competition. It was a slim win overall and a good fight from the pool players!!! After the win, which was around 2am...a few of us went to grab something to eat...and you know what I discovered, I discovered fried pork intestines!!! WAH!!!! they were seriously fantastic!!!!! (My apologies to the muslims for my comments here!Sorry....:)). Until today I still cannot forget it!!! Don't think I will ever forget it till I go back to KK again and eat it. After that we went home and had a good night sleep. Time was 3am.

The next day I woke up at 6.30am....I was so upste that I woke up at that time because i knew I didn't have enough sleep, but I couldn't go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried! Finally at 7.30am I decided to wake up and catch the 9am bus to the city. So I got ready and down we all went to the city!!! The first destination we went to was an eating place which sold bah kut teh because we were all so so so hungry, and I think that took us almost 1 hour just to look for it since we got lost a few times. After that we went to the FIlipino market. I bargained and bought a few stuffs from there and then we went to Warisan Square. A very nice building, I think Miri should build something like that. I mean look at Miri and KK!!! KK has grown so much in only 6 years, since I was last there in 2002. As for Miri, not much has been done accept the fly over!!! No new shopping malls!!! So sad!!! Back to my story, at 1pm we caught the bus back to our Apartment and rested till aroud 4.30pm, where one of our netballers wanted to check out the other supermarket...so off we went walking towards that supermarket only to discover that it was a Muzeum of some sort...HAHAHA.....and surprisingly we were not the only ones who were walking in that direction....so much for checking out the other so called supermarket. After that we went back to the old supermarket which was connected to the Apartment just to waste time. After that we went back and prepared ourselves for the dinner that night with the Yayasan Sabah people.

Dinner was not too bad and after the dinner we took pictures (we had already taken so much pictures during the last few days) and we went home and just hanged out. We didn't go out cause we all were feeling the tiredness from the previous night. Played cards, watch tv and went to sleep around12.30am.

The next day we woke up to catch the bus to town before we headed for the airport. Went to Gaya street than to the Filipino market again to buy last minute souviniers. Walked back to Wisma Merdeka to catch the bus and while waiting for the bus, I manage to buy two baju's which cost RM2/ each!!! I seriously couldn't believe it, but hey its worth being small sized like me cause baju's that fit me sometimes are not bought and therefore becomes clearance stock!!! I was very happy with the purchase as it felt lik buying kolok mee!!! :P life is good!!!

After that we all caught the bus to the airport and went back home to Miri and everything is back to normal.

KK is a beautiful place! Definitely a place where I would go back over and over again in the near future. Thanks KK for the RM2 shirts!!! Will put some pictures up when I get them :)

I'm Back from KK!!!!

Sorry it took me awhile to get back into blogging. Sometimes I'm just way too busy and don't have the time to spend doing this.



Anyway, I just got back from KK after out KRP sports trip there and I realised that KK is such a beautiful place!!! I had so much fun that I dreaded to come back to Miri and start work again...hahaha...but I did miss my daughter despite all the fun. I mean most moms/dads will definitely feel the same :).



We arrive in KK in

KK here I come!!!

I'll be going to KK on the 2nd to the 4th May and I'm so excited. Main reason for going is to play netball!!! And the best part is, its kinda like a friendly match between Yayasan Sabah and us (KRP) and the rest of the time we will be free to do whatever we want!!! How cool is that??? We only need to pay RM100 (and I'm not sure what this is for) and flight and accomodation is provided. I seriously think that's a fantastic deal. Can't wait to have fun, especially with the Ladies!!! KK!!! here we come!!!

KK, KK beautiful KK,
Please be nice and sunny,
But please don't burn us, OK?
Cause we might look funny!

KK, KK, beautiful KK,
I seriously hope there's a Padini,
But please have discounts, OK?
Cause we tak cukup money!

*wink*
