it's my going home flight to Malaysia... Airasia has got a good offer so i booked all the way to kuching using Airasia. in between the two flights i've got to spend 14 hours in the airport...that's my only choice.
i've heard from my brother that the airport is really dodgy. but in my imagination i was thinking, "it won't be that bad"... all i thought is that Airasia has taken over the old KL airport
and so... i started my long journey on Wednesday... the flight from Melbourne to KL took 8 hours... the plane is kinda new...Airbus 330...but it has got to be the most boring flight ever.... there're screens in front of every seat....BUT every program in it has got the word "PAY NOW"... and it's kinda noisy in the plane so i couldn't sleep... SO i ended up looking at the map showing the journey from Melbourne to KL... it really was so boring that i find it interesting looking at the plane figure changing it's location in the map...
i finally reached the airport... it really is out of my expectation... the whole airport i think is actually made out of zinc plates.... and like every airport we had to go through customs... BUT this custom is amazingly easy... all they did was wave their hands showing we can go through... Haih... unlike the airport in Australia... u have to take everything out if u're unlucky
when i saw the condition of the airport, i was starting to worry whether i could stand staying in the airport for 14 hours... there were unlimited chairs and all the chairs are outside the airport... i should say... however, no matter how lousy the condition is, price just changes everyone's mentality... including mine... there were so many people... asian, caucasian, all can be seen.
since there were hardly any chairs, i had to sit on a trolly with my luggage as my cushion...luckily i found a switch so i used my laptop, managing to get through for a few hours...
outside the airport... taken at around 2 something
then at around twelve... an officer came to me.. she said, "there will be fogging in the airport"... i said ok and continuresd playing my laptop...she stared at me and repeated " there will be fogging IN the airport, so u'll have to go outside" i've never heard having to do fogging IN the airport before....
so i had to go out... i sat in front of McDonalds... in between 2 caucasian... a lady on my right and a man on my left... both made themselves comfy, lying down on a mat and managed to sleep. i tried to sleep but failed... that is against my sleeping policy where i can sleep anywhere i want...
and u know how a pure Asian's character is like... staring at people as if they've never seen something like that before... i reckoned they've never seen caucasian sleep before, escpecially a female caucasian... so everyone who passed by stared at our direction... some whispered and giggled (chinese sakainess style). there was a cleaner who kept on walking pass us, sweeping nothing in front of us. the floor in front of us would have literally shined.
for the first time, i was able to stay awake for 14 hours past midnight.
i checked in at 6.20 am.
was fined RM135... damned... when i booked my flight, the options available was just checked 1 luggage or checked 2 luggage, so i put 1 luggage since i only have one. they did not even state the weight... the one from Melbourne to KL, they did state the maximum weight of 25 kg, so i packed to 24.7kg... but everything changed to 15kg... making me have an excess of 9kg... haih...
However, no matter how terrible the service is, the price of the tickets still blind everyone...i'll still take airasia if i have to... :P
