Confession Of A Frequent Air Traveller

The sun rising over the horizon
We started flying when we were little. Even so, it was still a luxury and something we really look forward to every time. There is something magical and special about airports, airplanes and being in the plane.

 I remembered when I was studying in Labuan, a return air ticket to Kuching would cost my parents a whooping RM1000+, RM800+ if we were lucky. At that time, we had no other choice but to use Malaysia Airlines. Over the years, more and more airlines came up and we have a lot more choices now. Air travelling became cheaper and many places were accessible. Like they say, now everyone can fly. 

 With so many airlines to chose from, we can afford to be choosy. When Air Asia first came up, many people choose to fly with A.Asia because well, it is affordable and cheaper than MAS. Me included. At that time, the service was good and it was a value for money. But over the years, the quality deteriorate. The tickets are cheap but with many hidden charges. LCCT is always so crowded it's like a bus terminal and not an airport. Checking in is always a hassle. Nowadays they introduce web/self-check in, if you check in at the counter, you have to pay extra RM10. Sudahlah self-check in kiosk tu selalu rosak. Kadang2, kalau terlambat check in sikit saja pun, diorang sudah jual tiket ko dengan orang lain atau tidak bagi masuk sudah. Sudahlah selalu delay.

 One more thing, i don't know what is it about A.Asia passengers. Semua pun mau berebut. Masa scan luggage berebut2, masa berbaris masuk flight pun berebut2, masa berjalan pegi kapal berkejar2. Sudah kena assign seat pun ada lagi yang tidak pandai duduk seat sendiri. Masa mau turun kapal pun berebut2 mau cepat turun, masa ambil luggage tidak payah cakap la..Pendek kata, travelling with A.Asia is so stressful. 

 Mau cerita pasal staff lagi. Not as friendly and helpful as other airlines. Other airlines' flight attendants is always smiling (sincerely), always helpful and cheerful. A.Asia punya sorry to say, bajet hot ja. Jeling orang semacam. 

 Bukan saya satu orang saja merungut pasal A.Asia. Ramai lagi. And most were unsatisfied with the service. Most of us frequent fliers prefer other airlines. I have not travel with A.Asia for a very long time. Nowadays, MAS offered competitive prices. Malindo pun bagus. Both in term of prices and service. Kalau tiket A.Asia dengan MAS beza sikit ja, memang saya pilih MAS, Malindo. No stress when checking in and KLIA is not crowded with many places to sit. Passengers pun tidak macam naik bas. Semua mau berebut2. 

 All i'm saying is, I would pay more for better service, friendlier faces and peace of mind.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
