There was no electricity when we left KK (my parent's house, to be exact) yesterday.. Made us leave about half an hour earlier than planned, since the heat was really crazy!
We were glad we got to the airport early... as we needed to go through double check for double booking.. Apparently, there were two flight tickets purchased for Bo.. so we have to change the second one to an open ticket for his next trip... Don't ask!
Got to the airport and had to get in a very long line to check in... So, my prediction was wrong... there ARE still a lot of people a week after the holiday. I purposely avoided travelling on the weekends because of this and it's still the same on a Tuesday... And most of them were universities students. Not that I hate travelling with students, but they are a very noisy bunch and they irritate me! I told the clerk at the check in counter that I need an aisle seat... and near the toilet. So, we were seated at the back of the plane... Bad idea!
It's at the back of the plane that you feel the turbulence so much and the 'bounce' from the take off and landing. It's also near the area where the flight attendants prepare the food and chatted loudly! We could almost hear everything! And the 'best' thing was, there was a toddler just in front of us who was feeling restless and couldn't help crying... Thank God for Ipod!!
Next to us was a girl in her late teens or early twenties.. looked like a student. As soon as the seatbelt sign was off, she took out her mobile phone and checked for message as if it's a normal thing to do! She asked for it, she got it from Bo... Bo scolded her and waited until she turned off the phone.. You see, even there is no solid proof of mobile phone interference with the plane aviation control system whatever, we don't want to take the risk, right?
And I reached home, unpacked and found that all my Ngiu Chap's soup was gone! Someone didn't pack it properly!
