Aug 18 - To Fly or not to fly

Morning already excited. Half day work then can cabut.
Gavin so nice, fetched May and I to airport. We had Nandos for lunch. I dun like Nandos but not much choice in Airport. Either that or Coffee Bean. Not like KLIA, so many choices.

May wanted to visit her bro and kao tim some things since she's moving there after resign. Glad to be on the same flight with her, otherwise sien si. Anyway, this is first time I go KL by flight for holiday. Some light turbulence on the way, clouds....alamak....kept praying...sudah jadi 'kay bo' (chicken) since I heard about Gavin's experience.

His was on the way back from KL to Pg. There was turbulence and captain announce that lights would be dimmed. Plane was shaking a lot like roller coaster ride. As the pilot tried to land, the whole plane was very very quiet, everyone holding tight, some to the seats, some to the person next to them. Not a single flight attendant in sight as they have been instructed to be seated. The plane was actually heading for the runway, ready for landing but suddenly it made an almost 45 degree change, flying upwards again into air......everyone shouted in the darkness....luggage compartment doors flung almost all at the same time ! No one dared to leave their seats to close it, yet at the same time feared that luggages might start falling onto them. As soon as the plane began flying horizontally and away from the clouds, some began to sigh relief while some still breathing heavily. Captain announced that he might try to land in Pulau Langkawi instead.....after a while, he decided to try landing at Pg Airport. Gavin said his heart beat real fast when the plane was landing.....as soon as the wheels touched the ground, everyone cheered ! It felt like experiencing something you watched in the movie...almost 30 mins....wonder if anyone shit in the pants. Later the pilot apologised but passengers were more happy than angry.
After hearing his experience and reading few mishaps in the papers....how not to worry ? But no choice, wanna save time so that can shop, so I fly lo.

Oh...May and I queued at the other line without family, we were the first two, however ppl were pushing their way in the family line. And the air stewardess treated like we were transparent. After some time waiting...May asked innocently "What should I do ah?". I almost wanted to speak out when one of the air stewardess realised we have been waiting for more than 10 mins and started to check our ID and boarding pass before letting us pass through.

We saw lotsa 'Ninjas' and avoided sitting near them. See them wearing all covered and in black already feel like 'lemas' (drowning). Wonder how to verify if the person is carrying fake / real passport since the face is covered and only left eyes. Saw the air stewardesses did some head count...there was one group of nine ppl whereby 7 of them are 'ninjas' (ladies). Since cannot check the face, so, she just counted 1,2,3,4,...9. Walau eh, so easy huh. What if got terrorists ah ? Can have something to scan the face when they pass through ...like those which scanned our bags ? Feel so insecure la.

We took KLIA transit since May will go off at Putra Jaya. After reaching KL Sentral, I changed to KTM, paid RM 1 to go to MidValley. Reached there 5.30pm, SMSed Meow and eagerly started my shopping ! Within 15 mins, I bought 3 blouses already. Then I did a lot of spying on jewellery esp beaded stuff. Noticed that KL girls like these a lot and almost every girls have fancy dangling earrings or necklaces. Walked into those shops selling crystals...ahh...so I know how much they are selling.

7pm, Meow came with Neoh (his colleagues) to join me. He was telling his colleagues "See, told u, she already bought something". 1.5 hour, I baru shopped 1 floor :P
Die, MidValley so big, how? He perli me, I come back tomorrow to pick u. Teng !
We were hungry, so we went for the long awaited meals / drinks at San Francisco Coffee. The extreme Mocha as suggested by Lilian is really nice. Neoh walked a short while with us before he disappeared to catch train to KL Sentral and proceed to KLIA. He went back to Pg. Meow took leave ma. So, we walked around, I was quite tired actually...we didn't buy much things. I wasn't really interested in clothes. Focused on cute stuff and 'survey'.

By 9.30pm, feet exhausted liao....cannot walk ler. We took train to Asia Jaya before taking cab back to his hotel.
