Online booking - What I learnt.
|
 |
Audio : Listen
1. That you should NEVER attempt to book anything after the site's Customer Support hotline closes for the day.
2. That I have to petition to Mr. Gates to have his team provide a 'if-credit-card-purchase-in-page-with-idiot-user-disable-refresh-keys' options for MSIE.
3. That it is always very easy to tell someone, "Hey! Book for me also leh."
4. That man's balls react faster than anything else when a man faces sudden surprise or anxiety.
5. That the phrase "You got no balls ah?!" does not always mean a bad thing.
6. That one should not have English/Singlish/Hanyu Pinyin/Dialect name together in your birth/citizenship registration details as web forms are not custom made to suit these combinations. Example, your name is Tan Ah Kow Tony. In the web form, you have only two fields - Given Name and Surname. How would you fill this up?
(i) Given Name - Ah Kow Tony, Surname - Tan, will result in final printout by computer as Mr. Ah Kow Tony Tan,
(ii) Given Name - Tony Ah Kow, Surname - Tan, will result in final printout by computer as Mr. Tony Ah Kow Tan.
Both of which don't sound right in local (read Singaporean) context.
