flying home

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is Captain Azmi. Welcome on board
MAS Airline Boeng 747 from Heathrow London to Kuala Lumpur International
Airport. Before we take off, please look around you and locate the emergency
exits. If you could not find one, please take the leaflet in front of you
and
study the locations of these exits...

It was the chirpy voice of captain Azmi. The pilot for MH003 heading to Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday March 8 for the 10.50am flight.

As your captain, I would like to remind you that "al" and "al" did not mixed.
Altitude and Alcohol. The best drink is still a mother's milk

Was he high?

.. And we may experienced a slight terbulence in the coast of India. This
may be cause by the delicious curry that the Indians are preparing..

He is definitely high.

Like the normal 13 hour flight, it was very boring. Not to mention that my screen went hang on me a few times. The movie selection except for Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reasons was poor. Since I've watched the film, it left me with other more mundane choices, so I picked Fat Albert the movie *sigh*.

Once you're on the movie channels, you cannot switched back to the audio or game channels otherwise the system would hang. It irritated me! Em found empty seats at the back to lie down and since I was still having high fever and coughing fits, I just stayed in my seat and stared at the blue screen. In the end, I spent half of my journey sleeping. Waking up just to freshen up and had lunch and breakfast.

The plane started to have its own coughing fit when we flew over the Bay of Bengal. Its the terbulance, the one that captain Azmi cheerfully reminded us before the take off. It was one heck of a curry pot, man! It lasted for more than 10 minutes!!

Alas by 7am, we were already reaching the Straits of Malacca and in just a few minutes would land on KLIA ground. Home at last! Although I am glad to be home, I still feel sad to leave Budapest (pronounced Budapesh). I fall in love with the city, the pancakes and most of all, I have fall in love with the people. I bet I would go to Budapest again... standing on top of Citadella and lost myself in the magnificent view of both Buda and Pest with river Danube flowing between them. Bathing the city with beautiful golden lights....
