Back Home

This week is the much waited week that I have been looking forward to since the first week of my enrolment to the uni. The mid-sem break is my only window of opportunity to escape life in KB and to really enjoy a city life (not as cool as KL though). But the journey back home is a tough one. Went 2 hours earlier to the airport to catch the 3pm flight to KL. Well, sentiments aside, I know that KB literally closes up briefly on Friday afternoon to give way for the prayers - even the mall. Shockingly (I need better words for these), even the airport closes up. I am just clueless of what to say. Then I thought that everything would be fine after that. No! 15 minutes delay on my KL flight. Shit happens... but I am not bother. The excitation of going home did not deter my spirit. Off to KL then. A bit of turbulence and safely arrived at 4.20pm. My next flight to Miri was 7.00pm. Plenty of time. So grab an early dinner before checking in. The queue was a 20 minutes wait. So I headed to the departure hall instantly. It was 6.15pm then. Wait, wait, wait... then it was 7.00pm. No sight of the airplane. "Ding-dong! Due to the late arrival of the aircraft, the flight to Miri will be delay. The aircraft is expected to arrive at 7.35pm. Sorry for the inconvenience." WTF?! From worse becomes the worst. The plane arrived much lated than expected. Around 8.00pm, the plane taxied in front of the terminal. As if the delay was not enough, the plane had to wait for the busy air traffic for about 15 minutes. Only then, we have take off. The bad weather made the ride rough. Turbulence and more turbulence, practically through out the way. Thankfully, I have arrived in Miri in one piece around 11.30pm. So much for the expectation...
