In flight thoughts

Written yesterday...

After packing and repacking, I finally decided to use my red luggage for training materials and favorite carry-on for clothes. Used my weighing scale annddd... ngam ngam 15kg. Phewww... so that will be checked in.

Flight was quite turbulent during take-off and landing. My homestay owner is very helpful. So is the PIC of training. Great participants too. Quite a huge turnout. 44 out of 48. I made good decision to choose homestay nearer to training location than staying in hotels further away.

In return flight now. We can't take off yet because the pilot said they receive news there's traffic jam in LCCT. We may have to wait for 15 minutes before take-off. My red luggage can fit everything but it weighs 10kg++. Thank God for foldable bag.

I'm carrying my handbag, a souvenir bag from client with wrapped souvenir inside which can also fit my 10" laptop. I take out all papers and training stuff from red luggage and put it into foldable bag. So everything worked out OK.

15 minutes has passed by now and we're still not airborne. Not moving 1 inch from earlier position. The aircraft crew already offered drinks purchase from their drink cart. Currently selling their merchandise on 50% discount. I'm so hungry by now. Can't wait for my pre-order meals.

Finally taking off at 10:10pm. Smooth take off followed by shaky ride so pre-booked meals are distributed quite late. I can't eat because we're already descending though the flight captain just informed that we have to remain airborne for a while due to air traffic. Very cheerful sounding captain, informative with clear voice and apologetic as well. Lapar nyer...

I arrived early at the airport but went for prayer, take a nap, prayer again and then wait at departure. Didn't occur to me I might need some snacks. Lapar nyer... lapar nyer... Oppss... let's focus on something else. Smoother ride now. Landing time...

[At 10.55pm]
