[QUOTE="okow, post: 6181, member: 14"] As I am attached to the hospitality industry, I see this as a typical Malaysian attitude towards planning. Yes, Malaysians for some reason seem to always want "an option" or an "escape clause" in the event that something does come up more important. Planning and booking of trips, domestic and overseas, we always never fail to see a surge in people wanting to go....during the holiday season, school hols, National festivals etc....at the last moment. What I fail to understand is, year in, year out, this happens all the time. Our National holidays (race, festive, cultural) are all fixed at the beginning of each calender year...but people still wait for the last minute rush...more often than not, by then everything is either booked up at super peak prices. Which brings me to this point....Our ANNUAL DINNER! This will be the most happening event for our club members and its happening in just about 32 days time. We have a list and some of you have penned down your names but unfortunately have yet to re-confirm. This is due to the dates being brought forward 1 week earlier...so as not to clash with what might be the eve of Ramadan.
