Mummy was waiting nervously for the clock to strike 12 on 8 October. Her task was to book the Aloha Loyang Chalet for Jaden's 1-year-old birthday party next year. Mummy had set eyes on the pool terrace chalet and had even went to recee the place with Daddy and Jaden about a month ago.
Yah, Mummy is being kaisu here. But, hey these chalets are very popular and are usually booked way beforehand. Furthermore, the chalets can only be booked exactly 3 months before the actual date. This explains why Mummy specially stayed up late to do the booking, as the clock struck 12.
Mummy had a slight scare when making the booking just now. When Mummy logged in, the system showed that her preferred chalet unit was already being locked for booking. Mummy therefore had to settle for the 2nd choice unit instead. Then it got worse. Mummy realised that her Internet Explorer was not java-enabled and she couldn't key in the credit card details for payment. Attempts to download java was unsuccessful.
Mummy immediately cancelled the booking and tried to make a fresh booking using Firefox instead. To her pleasant surprise, the preferred chalet unit was now available; someone must have released it :) Without hesitation, Mummy make her selection and proceeded with the transaction with lighting speed.. Ha ha.. so drama :P But who cares, the important thing is we got our chalet!!!
You may say that Mummy is being super duper kaisu here. But hey, Mummy wasn't the only kaisu person around. Ten minutes after her booking, another 3 more chalets were booked! And mind you, it is 12.31am now. Mummy bets that all the pool terrace chalet units will be taken up the next day.
Mummy is now planning for Jaden's birthday party. More details coming soon! Oh, and cheers to Firefox!
