then last movie was NANNY MCPHEE. 

couldnt sleep well on this flight cuz the man next to me...took off his shirt to sleep. sigh. and i didnt dare lean too close. cuz i normally lean on the side of the seat ma....got a sticking out thingie thing. =X 

so i just stuck in the middle of my seat..plus couldnt really lean back cuz kesian the guy behind me had very long legs. sigh sigh sigh. 

had two meals on the flight. 

supper was chilli chicken with rice. wasnt really spicy tho. but ok la..

then breakfast at 8am was nasi lemak. mmm..yumms. 

the pilot on the flight was so....talkative! 

before take off, he talked about ALL the countries we would be flying over.. =.= 

then when land....he talked about so much too. when nearly reached KLIA, he was telling the exact distance from KLIA....the exact time.. and if we dont set our watch properly later we might be late for lunch. =.= i just kept laughing cuz....sigh. i never had a more talkative captain before.  

and when the people to open the door were late....he even said that they were in toilet so sorry for the delays. oh goshh..... the whole plane laugh.

reached KLIA at around 5pm.... waited for our flight cuz it was only at 9.15pm. 

while waiting...this lady from China asked me to help her translate something to the ticket counter. i thought oh ok...easy job. but ended up... STRESS!! 

her flight was delayed two hours so she missed her connecting flight to Kuching. then the girl at the counter said she has to pay for another ticket. so the China lady got upset why she needs to pay when it wasnt her fault and stuffs. =S 

the girl at the counter was on the verge of tears....the China lady was shouting... i was.......standing and looking around hoping no one would recognize me. lol.
