so here's the reiterate of my solo adventure
the route : Calgary --> LA -->Taipei --> Singapore --> Kuala Lumpur --> Terengganu
total time traveled including transit : +/- 30 hrs (yup, 30 long hours)
1st leg of journey: Calgary --> LA @ 1910hrs, Fri 13th
i was at the airport since 1700hrs lg
all those security check n US custom clearance horror stories
better be safe than sorry kan
so i manage to get my lugagges checked in all the way to KL *how very convenient*
n they have strong guys helping with bags, saving my vertebrae
i sailed thru US custom n security check *phewww*
Calgary sky was crying as if dun wan me to leave *cesss, perasan*
flight got delayed, cutting my transit time in LA wee bit short
i got to witness sunset on air and it was very mesmerizing *magical*
the first sight of big LA city excites me to no end
i arrived at 2nd terminal of LAX n have to transfer to Tom Bradley International Terminal
suffice to say it's quite a walking distance n quite confusing
imagine, 1st time on US soil n alone plak tuh
Tom Bradley is so buruk i think airport Terengganu lg cantekkk okkkkk? n there are soooo many ppl!
i have to queue like almost 2 hrs just to get my boarding pass
others mostly checking in their bags which i found funny coz u have to check in ur bag at the counter then bring it to the security check n get it scanned then bring it back to the counter to drop it off, complicate eyh?
pastu trus boarding sbb security check line is like forever
apa taknyer, seme pon nk kan take off
jaket, laptop, even kasut pon kna bukak
the real journey begans : LA --> Taipei --> Singapore @ 0055hrs, Sat 14th

the real journey begans : LA --> Taipei --> Singapore @ 0055hrs, Sat 14th
from the boarding gate naik bus which takes all the passenger to the aircraft
interesting, no?
Singapore Airlines almost lives up to my expectation
seat is very comfy
KrisWorld sgt best!
food not so much, i still like MAS better
but worth the price i paid
the 13 hrs to Taipei is filled with Krisworld n food n aimless merayau around
We arrived at Taipei in the wee hrs of morning
shops br nk bukak
sgt byk LeSportSac smpai dh rambang mata
then looking at the tag ribu ribu won
aiseh paiseh, mls nk convert la
plus i need to save money if i'm ever going to Bandung later
so one hr stop, i just walk from one end of terminal to another
buhsan..buhsan
another 9 hrs to Singapore
i slept most of the way
when i finally touched down, dh half crancky sbb penat
diri rase cam serabai jer
n i still have 2 more flights *ergh*
i braced myself for the heat
mmg panas!!!
Singapore Changi is heaven
byk shops n free internet!!!!
i'm in good hands later for the journey back to Calgary since i have to overnight in Changi
sempat lg rembat perfume before boarding flight to KL hehe
the almost last flight : Singapore --> KL @ 1245hrs, Sun 15th
I'm watch out from the windows n saw it
my homeland!
weih, KL lg pns dr Singapore!
with trolley full of bags which the 'gentlemanly' airport workers tolong tengok n tolong comment 'besarnyer bag!' jer -sum things nvr change- i walked thru to the arrival hall
went straight to checked in for the last flight
with fair warning from my mum regarding the overlimit of my luggages, still ralat jugak la bile kna charge rm150
the lady asked if i wanted to pay for it
duh! dah tu, nk tinggal my bag kat airport?
such a waste to just bring 20kg when north america flights allowes up to 46kg, right?
next flight won't be until later in evening
so went for Kenny Rogers n lil freshen up session thanks to him
the one dat got me home : KL --> Terengganu @ 750pm, Sun 15th
it's already night so all i can see is the lights
the moment the plane touches the ground, i was soo relieved dat i finally reached home
wohot! airport br Terengganu very impressive
siap ade international flights section lg
dh ade dat tunnel so no need to walk on the tarmac anymore *yeay*
getting the lugagges seems like eternity
seme org tgk..2 really big bags, 3 carry-ons, one skinny girl
when i walk thru the arrival gate, the first face i saw was abah n ummi's *happy smpai rase nk nangis*
salam salam, peluk peluk, cium cium
then my lil bro comes running n the first comment he makes was
'kakak x berubah pon, same jer'
haha...i wonder how he thinks i gonna look after one yr abroad
it's good to be HOME with LOVED ONES
