Delivering Happiness

I got an InfoNotice from UPS at the door of my apartment on the 20th April 2010. The package states that this comes from the USA. I traced the package at UPS site and saw that the package was from Las Vegas and it took only 1 week to get here. Surely, I thought, it must be an important package.

The next day I called UPS about the package. A polite lady answered my call and said that the package will be sent again to my apartment in the evening. So I asked her if they could send it to my office instead, and they said yes, so I gave her the address. Lastly I asked if her if she could tell who it was from, they said it was from Zappos.com. So I think to myself, it can't be.

I really wanted the book Delivering Happiness, and I couldn't wait till the book launch on 7th June 2010. So I tried to sign up for a free book as a blogger.

When the package arrived that afternoon, I got not one Delivering Happiness but two for FREE!

Air Asia says everything is in place to make Sydney the Malaysian-based carrier's fourth Australian destination, following Perth, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.

Take the Air Asia skybus from LCCT airport to downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

If you fly from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia, you'll find yourself landing at Kuala Lumpur's Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). Air Asia also flies into Kuala Lumpur from most other major airports in south east Asia.

Once at LCCT passengers have to figure out the best and cheapest way to get to KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur itself, as LCCT is an hour away from the city. That's where the Air Asia Skybus comes in.
