The drama with @virginaustralia velocity points retro claim continues.. unfortunately..

Sorry readers that I’ve been ranting about these issues for the past few posts. I need a place to vent and document my experience. Where else except my own blog? I wrote a long blog about why I think buying a code-share Virgin Australia/Singapore Airlines flight is not a good idea, followed by my issue with Virgin Retro claims processing for those flights. Unfortunately, the drama still continues . Today, 2 weeks after 18 April, I saw the following flight credited to my Velocity Accounts, which I have never...

Problems with @virginaustralia retro claim processing

A follow up on the blog post I made about my drama for booking and flying on VA/SQ codeshare flights to South East Asia early this month. On 9 April 2013, I made a retro claim by phone for my VA coded flights CBR-SYD, SYD-SIN. On 11 April 2013, I made a retro claim by email (with etickets attached) for all my VA coded flights CBR-SYD, SYD-SIN, SIN-SYD, SYD-CBR. I received an email confirmation that I should see the points within 7 days for VA operated flights. Today, I rang...

Reasons why I would never book @virginaustralia and @singaporeair codeshare flight ever again..

Warning, long blog post… (I don’t check my grammar and spelling either) Let me preface this blog post by saying as at the moment Virgin Australia is still my favourite domestic airline in Australia. I thought they have come a long way from being a budget airline to a good competitor to Qantas. I found their in-flight service excellent, the planes are newer and the aircrews are more polite than Qantas. However, my recent flights to Asia on VA/SQ codeshare flights seriously caused me to want to scream and...

Talking about games, gamification and what I am working on at the moment

Of late, I have been working more and more in the gamification area with QuestaGame. I am finding it getting more and more important in human-computer-interaction, eLearning and marketing. Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in a non-game context in order to engage users and solve problems (source: wikipedia). I have always been a gamer, whether it’s traditional game you play as a kid on the field, or video games. I remember when I was younger, I would gamify almost everything to make it fun....

Advanced Javascript Libraries are blurring the lines between front-end and back-end programming, is it a good thing?

As someone who’s working constantly around UX and Human-Computer Interaction, I am always looking at technologies that will help me build interactive items (games, presentation, web ux) more efficiently. Of late, I noticed the emergence of advanced Javascript Libraries that promise to do both front-end and back-end processing on the client side. Sidelined a bit.. while looking at one particular library, I stumbled across this image. Yoda is actually quite dear to me. Not because I like Star Wars (sorry Star Wars fans!!), but because my husband actually told me I...
