Before I start, I present to you…
My face! Lolol. No la just wanna show because I just redid my hair color to a very beautiful dark lavender grey (which I am totally keeping btw no more kam mou ok) and freshened up my rainbow extensions. Thanks Hikky!
Above photo was taken on the way to the Expedia Partner Appreciation and Awards event. Here’s me with Proudduck Vivy and Wei Zhi from Kampungboycitygal. We’re all wearing Expedia colors!
The awards were about recognizing Expedia hotel partners efforts and achievements which although not so relevant to us who were there as bloggers, was still interesting cos I think I learned quite a lot about the travel industry and the way people make holiday plans!
But mostly it made me feel ultra itchy about traveling. I NEED A TRIP!!! *broken record
With Wei Zhi whom I haven’t seen for ages!
And Vivy! Hehe they had silly signs and props to take pictures with. Sorry Fats you’re on your own tonight.
Travel is about fun and relaxation so there was a massage booth set up for us to take advantage of. I’m smiling here but inside (in my muscles) I was in intense pain wtf. Masseuse said my back muscles are all knotted up and she asked if I had any numbness in my hands. Yes! I do! It’s the stupid knots that came from stress causing it. She said if I don’t do anything the pain will spread to my neck and lower back haih.
I need a holiday!!!!
Speaking of holidays, I present to you the Expedia Vacationizer. It reads your mind and tells the travel destination for you!
Put it on your head and the Vacationizer will detect your heartbeat and they show you images of different travel locations and it tells you when your pulse speeds up means that’s the location you wanna go to.
I got Paris!?!?! Maybe my heart skipped a beat cos I remembered the awesome foie gras we ate there wtf but I swear my soulplace is Japan hahaha. Or a beach island.
With Vivy before the awards started.
Hehe blue and yellow.
Hotels and flights giveaways omg. Desperately wanted to win a trip to Japan… but not so lucky aih. But cannot ask for so much la cos Expedia took us on our girls trip last time to Taipei and Tokyo. ^^
Presentation starts! Here’s something I thought was really interesting – most of how we access the internet now is from smartphones, 52% of the time in 2013. Is that why I get more comments on my Dayre now than I do my actual blog? Hehe.
51% of all bookings made on Expedia are within 24 hours of the trip. You all last minute kings!
It’s all from mobile though so I guess most people use the Expedia app last minute cos it’s so easy and also great for emergencies and last minute plans.
400 airlines and 200,000 hotels working with Expedia!
With the other bloggers and the CEO of AirAsiaExpedia, @kathleentan
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go~~~~
Can’t imagine making travel plans without Expedia! I remember my parents going to travel agencies to book but now Fatty and I just have to go online on Expedia and book hotels and stuff.
I didn’t know Expedia had an app too so after the awards I downloaded it.
Hehehe. Bobo and I have really been discussing making a short trip somewhere since she and Huiwen know I’ve been wanting to get away. So we’ve really been on Expedia looking through hotels and the app makes it even easier!
Can filter how many stars hotels and some other criterias…
Click on the hotel and check out the details and photos. Even more user friendly than the Expedia website! 😀
You can also pick from the range of rooms available at the hotel.
And it will tell you the total price. The only thing left to do after this is log in to Expedia on the app and make the booking.
There’s even special deals available on the app only. Now we only need to coordinate our timings aih.
Wish me luck!!

Hi Audrey! ^^ You’re the prettiest blogger out of all the bloggers I follow and I have so much love for you, your character and your baby!! God bless you and keep writing cause honestly, it makes my day so much better. 🙂
aww thank you. too much praise hahaha. thank you for being so supportive!
Hahah when i see expedia’s name immediately the “expediaaaa bum bum” jingle plays in my head
I have bad experience with expedia. It’s okay if you’re flexible but I wasn’t. They booked me a longer flight that I didn’t choose. I can’t make my weak mother go through longer flight. Expedia call center is a horrible experience. I’m not detering anyone from using their service, just a reminder to those who have elderly or sick parents to take note of. Sorry to ride in your blog.
was there a reason why your flight was changed? usually last minute flight changes is a problem with the airline itself, not Expedia. unless they just totally booked you the wrong flight from the start? either way thanks for bringing up their customer service. hope Expedia receives your feedback!
Hi Audrey! Just want to ask if Foruchizu is still up? I can’t access your website anymore 🙁 thanks!
