I didn't think planes were like special or something if you're thinking that's what I'm coming to.
Today (yesterday) was Father's Day, and I didn't even know it was Father's day we are flying out on until Fiona realised and told me so...ooopppsss Sorry Uncle Yew....
But anyways, being on the plane, and it being MAS brought back some memories that I thought I already forgot... I looked at the stewardess and thought back to my flight to LA back when I was 5... I thought back to the time when I woke up in the middle of the night asking for a blankie cos it was cold. Then a stewardess Jie Jie handed me one.
Then I thought back to my plane rides as a kid where I remembered I always demanded for fresh milk on board all the time regardless of breakfast, lunch or dinner. When they were serving only juice, dad would requests for fresh milk for me... I guess those stewardess obliged since I was such a cute lil kid.
Basically, just random flashbacks occurred 20,000 feet in the air, nostalgic memories...
Then I realised I miss you dad...Happy Father's Day...cheers XD
Fiona and I on board (she's chatting with some ang mor dude next to me now)
Colourful MAS cabin
My tea foodpack....which was ermmm okokWe were looking to meet up with a 'friend' who doesn't own a handphone, we knew where he was staying but didn't possess a map. A few lessons learnt today if you're attempting backpacking anytime soon :
1) always get a map (free) from the airport
2) never book accom. in advance for 5 days via credit card because, it takes two working days to clear the transaction and u end up paying cash first to obtain a refund later!
3) do not walk at night in malaysia in shorts!
4) do not even walk in malaysia if you're a girl...rempits are rampant!!
