so i thought wrong

and we have Streamyx (and ESPN).

Sibu is uncharacteristically cool these days because of the 60 hours of rain over the last two days. Drizzle is perpetually intermittent (go figure).

So this is how it goes:

The seats on the plane are tiny. I'm glad I'm not claustrophobic. I stretched across mum and Sam and slept for ages. When I woke up - my eyes all dry and contacts ready to jump out - I checked the time only to find we'd only been flying for two hours. BUT... We moved right to the back of the pesawat and there were plenty of empty seats there :)

The child sitting in front of me on the plane kept turning around, looking at me, and then giggling. One time he did that, I made an ugly face at him. He let out a little shriek, and turned back around so quickly that he smashed into the seat in front of him.
That was amusing for a while :)

LCC-Terminal has nothing. NOTHING. The five hour transit there was the worst part of the trip. And then there was the checking in...

There is no such thing as a neat, orderly line when it comes to checking in at the airport. There is no such thing as justice for the fair. I could elaborate on the 50 people that cut into the line in front of us at KL International, but the angry little girl inside of me would rage out and then even I don't know what might happen. I also didn't realise you could tailgate someone with an airport baggage trolley. Seriously, I looked down at my feet and I could see the trolley of the person behind me just waiting to bite into my achilles tendons.

KL is humid compared to Perth. KL is dry as chalk in the sun compared to Sibu.

There are longkangs here. I love it. Not the longkangs, but you know that feeling you get from being back to the place you come from? The lack of tar-sealed roads, the houses on stilts, very creative driving ("hey EE, wasn't that a red light?" "yes, it was"), smaller people, coconut trees in backyards, foochow everywhere... I LOVE IT.

I haven't had kampua yet - I haven't actually been anywhere but various homes-of-rellies. But it's okay. I haven't been here 24 hours yet.
I love it (rice dumplings for breakfast oh-yay) :)

Maybe it's cause the weather isn't very terrible these days. I don't know.

I ramble in my happiness :)
