Japan 8.9 Earthquake & Tsunami

End-Of-The-World is coming?!
Violence, nature disaster... earthquake and tsunami happened frequently in recent year. It is hard for me to stop thinking about the 2012 end of the world prediction.

End of the world doesn't mean our earth is disappear from this universal. This is just a re-structure from beginning. As what shown in 2012 movie. Human & animal are still alive... just the amount of the object will be decreased and the technology will be down turn.

Now, we can see the news about the impact of Japan earthquake and tsunami everyday...
























What have impacted to my Tokyo trip on 24 March 2011, Thursday.
When this terrible disaster happened on last Friday, 11 March 2011, I hope this can be handle it my Japan very soon. But radiation leakage, exposure, short of power supply, petrol and food are out of our control and I believe this is not can be settle in short period.

Yes, how about my 2nd honey moon trip? In a right moral, I should more focus and put concern on those victim instead of my personal matter. But this is human being, I will worry about my Tokyo trip. AirAsia still depart the Tokyo flight as scheduled on last Sun which just 2 days right after the disaster happened. Well, if I were AirAsia boss, no point for me to cancel the flight since Haneda Airport is still operating.

When I come to hopeless about my trip, Ministry brought me a good news on 16 March 2011:



What's a good news for those Malaysians are going to Japan on this coming few weeks. OK, we wrote an email to AirAsia yesterday about this matter. Before we receive the reply from AirAsia, we saw from a TV news and said that 4 main air line in Malaysia which include AirAsia are agree to get refund or postpone to the travellers. We felt happy about it.

Well well well, today received the reply from AirAsia. What a disappointed arrangement from them.

Option 1(a): Free Move within 1 month of original travel date.
- means date can be moved within 1 month with same destination. 24 April 2011, safe to go to Japan? If I choose this one, how about 24 April is still not a right time to go?
SHIT option! (I don't think this word is dirty word)

Option 1(b): Credit Shell.
- what is credit shell?
"A credit shell is a separate account created for our guests and not a direct refund to your credit card. The credit shell account created in this instance for our guests to/from Bangkok will have an account number for guests who want to transfer their flights. The credit shell account number is the same number as your booking number. Credit shell is a credit account where monies paid towards a booking are stored. A credit shell account is valid for three months and if the balance or full amount is not utilized within the three months, the amount is forfeited.
Guest are allowed to utilize their Credit Shell for any pre-booked product/services.
Please note that the credit shell account cannot be used for internet bookings or to pay for excess baggage or services provided at the airport i.e. wheelchair fee, sports equipment fee etc. "
SHIT SHIT option!!

Option 2: Refund
Totally no refund for the flight!
What a DAMN SHIT option!!!

We are tried to look for published news from internet. Unfortunately, this is what The Sun daily published:

Case to case? How to consider I'm in the case which can get the refund.
Minister only announced those good news with a 'hiden bad news' to the public.
What we as a consumer (victim) can do??? Why I'm not a rich people? Else I won't feel angry/unhappy about this matter. My 'blood sweat money'.....
Anyway, we will go to AirAsia counter to ask for detail. Hope they will give us a good news.

Now I'm thinking... what efforts we had put on this trip?
1. Purposely took leave to apply the Visa. Went to the Japan embassy twice due to the 'incomplete' document. Again, I already follow the info as what stated in their website. End up, he told me they need this and that... and sorry about the outdated info in website... another bullshit case. After got the approval, have to return back to take the passport after 3 working days.

2. Went through a lot of info about the Tokyo... schedule, transportation etc. Plan and schedule are done.

3. Purposely bought a large baggage from Langkawi which easier to carry during the MRT from/to airport.

4. Purposely bought a SONY memory stick with 8G in order can store more photos and video.

5. Purposely bought a 'keep warm' shirt and glove which are my v'day gift.

6. Just up size our check in baggage and bought a meal in flight few days before this disaster happen.

I know this is just a 'small case' if compare to the victim in Japan.
I just want to release.... else I will be crazzzzzzzzy!
