Was supposed to be on the MH001 flight back to Malaysia at 2200 on 14th July 2006.. I was suppose to be rushing back for my internship starting 17th July.. had to cut short my trip with my parents and sister coz of the internship.. was suppose to go edinburgh with them as they are in UK for my sisters graduation.. there were 8 of us on the standby list @ the MAS counter and they had only 6 fucking seats left.. and I'm the 7th on that list.. havent had dinner yet at 2200.. FINE!

Situation: Lost
Was looking for something to eat.. departure hall sux! have to go to arrival hall to get some food.. sat down at a cafe.. asked for a menu.. was told the kitchen had fucking closed.. snapped at the waitress (not! i wished tho..) went to mark & spencer.. treated myself 2 boxes of sandwiches and a box of "biggest sweetest juiciest" cherries.. queued up to pay.. was spoken to in korean by this korean girl.. (which part of me looks like korean? besides my small eyes, black hair, chinese-looking, and looking lost with my 26kg luggage and my sister's laptop and my reebok bag) then i told her i dont speak korean.. she smiled and said "its alright then" in english.. What the hell? so I'm not korean and you just dont talk to me? and if i am korean, what would be question be? Ahhh... korean sux! except Kim Tae Hee..

Place: Arrival & Departure Hall
Situation: Wandering
was thinking how to entertain myself till 12noon the next day (coz the next freaking flight is then).. was looking around for free internet.. tried to unplug a wired connection but unsuccessful (LOL).. was looking for wireless internet (lucky I have my sister's laptop).. found T-Mobile wireless.. too weak signal.. went on a mad adventure to get the best signal.. placed my luggage on a trolley and switched on the laptop and went around the arrival hall.. after scanning the whole hall, i could only receive fair signal at best.. decided to go to the departure hall... found excellent signal but only transmitting packets without receiving! found another wireless connection! but costs 12pounds for 24 hours.. ahh.. cant be bothered already.. made myself comfy at a corner with excellent signal and paid with my credit card..

Situation: Comfy
Listening to music on my w810i.. devouring my cherries 1 by 1.. blogging.. waiting for the time to pass by.. waiting for friends to chat with me on msn.. not such a great time to be online.. those ppl in UK would be sleeping by now (1am, i know its not that late but if they are in UK, they would have things to do right.. ?) those in malaysia would be too early.. (who goes online at 8am in the morning..? lol) left me thinking about my future.. ahh.. i'll end this entry here.. will go blog about my earlier europe trip now.. =)
