Take it or Leave it

When was the last time you faced a hard-to-make decision and you literally didn't know which to choose?


Yesterday Afternoon, I was at the Miri International Airport, with another 2 friends, checking in for my flight back to KK, and just as I put my baggage onto the check-in counter's conveyor belt, the guy at the counter told me that he couldn't find my booking and asked for my booking number. I was like "Great..." and had to tell him I couldn't remember it.



He had me walk over to the AirAsia counter to double check my booking.......... and so I did.... only to have me find out.... That I was supposed to be on the MORNING flight!! Simply said, I'd missed my flight.

And as you all know of the cheap-skate AirAsia, you CAN NOT reschedule your flight, you CAN NOT pay a penalty to change your booking time, and you'll NEVER ACTUALLY get a FREE flight from AirAsia (even if they say FREE tickets.... you definitely have to pay something).

Then what made AirAsia even more sucky was the fact that the more you wait, the more you pay. And being in the current situation, which was both lucky AND unlucky, I COULD still buy a ticket back to KK for that very same flight...... but I only had 5 minutes to decide...... and it'll cost me a whopping RM221.50 ! ! !


I was stuck....


4 minutes left to decide..... with only RM250 which was actually for my April's room Rental.... My mind raced as fast as it could.... I didn't know whether I should take the ticket, or get another day's ticket.... or just stay in Miri. But then after checking with the counter, I came to the realisation that even if I booked my flight for one of the next few days, the price would only be like, RM200, RM180, RM150....

After 2 minutes of discussion with my furious mom, and a frantic exchange of conversation between me, my mom, the booking counter, and my friends, I quickly came to the conclusion that the ticket was Take it or Leave it.... RM221.50 or Stay in Miri, so to say.

With that being said..... I finally opted for taking the ticket, paid RM221.50 in cash, and rushed to check in my luggage....



I knew that I couldn't actually afford spending money like this.... and that I could've just stayed in Miri for a change..... but I guess that for my mom's sake, for KK's sake...... I just had to postpone my plans on getting a new Lens for my camera and a new phone...... to a later time frame, haha.


In the old times when we made mistakes, we paid with a punishment;
This time when we make mistakes, we pay with RM200;
The Next time we make mistakes, we pay with our job;
And the Last time we make a mistake..... we pay with our lives.


Nothing else to say.
