Here I am, halfway through my trip with an additional 2.5kg as of two days ago. I imagine that figure can only have gone up since then.

On the bright side, the land of houses like THIS


also yields food like THIS

which may or may not be the direct or indirect cause of the 2.5kg and counting...

MOVING ON:

my dear auntie has found out about my low BP and Fe levels. Her solution? Cram me with all sorts of rich and fatty food which are very delicious and much appreciated. I do, however, feel horribly oily afterwards.

That aside, the mosquitoes here have hatched an evil plan to kill me slowly and painfully. I'll let you know how that goes. Until then... live long and mozzie-less.

The story of today

6.35 Our plane is meant to take off.

6.40 People are still boarding the plane.


6.45 We start moving!

6.52 I am bored and fall asleep.

7.30 I wake up, thinking that it is 8.30 and that there are only 3 hours+ left to my flight. Then I discover I can't read the time on an analogue watch properly and it's really only 7.30 :(

8.00 Food is served. It's small, not that great, but edible. Standard airplane food. Back to sleep afterwards.

11.25 After drifting in and out of sleep, the captain finally announces we will begin descending... in 12 minutes. Still, I am cheered by the prospect and watch the wing flaps move in childish wonder.

12.05 The pilot is super the awesome with landing. We step out of the plane and cannot breathe. This is okay. We will learn.

12.45 Are you serious? Where is our luggage???

1.00 There it is!

Now I am here :)
I'm in transit for another 4 hours before my connecting flight to Sibu. Mum's not looking too good. She's sleeping on my clothing bag :(
Time to get her another coffee!

i am going to...

be on a plane for a few hours, after which i will be waiting in a boring airport for several hours, only to get on another plane for a couple of hours, to arrive at a place where i will eat for many, many, oh many lovely hours :)

i shall chronicle my adventures anywhere there is wireless.

yes, this includes the boring airport.


Be happy, Aloha-laksa-stall-owner! Here I come to give you lots of money :)
