Weather: its night.
25th february 2007
music: wonka welcome song(kindda childish=))

hi.ok, today, i am gonna post about my very first aeroplane ride. which happened last year, during my sarawak trip. wrote this down on a piece of paper and now, i am gonna transfer here. enjoy it all rights? =D. the rest of the trip nothing much laa, cos i fell sick.=.=. oh ya! and wei jun is a great doctor. took real good care of me during the trip. haha, jun pro lor. can be doctor lawyer musician.. so many things=). ok anyway, here goes=)

When i finally reached school on 4th december, hope and anticipation lingered in my soul, as i were feeling super enthusiastic about the trip to sarawak. As this would be a time, to meet band people in sarawak(met 3 flautists, francis, alvin and 1more yea.), and that would be my very first time, taking an aeroplane. After the band settled down, and that attendance was taken, we loaded our stuff onto the bus, boarded it and headed straight for the airport. we made a prayer before that, to hope that everyone would be ok during the trip.(didnt work for me :/) Everyone was busy chatting on the bus, like some crazy people. I was sitting with wei jun, and was talking crapp, playing my phone, laughing, etc. you could sense excitment, anticipation and an aura of mystery lingered as we wondered what experiences we will face for the next few days.

when we finally reached the airport, we wore our blue band blazers with collar pins emblazoned on it. When all of us had done that, we looked like a bunch of seahorses, ready to go out there and meet the big vast ocean. Thereafter, we took photos with our family, friends, seniors, teachers and was wishing and greeting each other. We spent about an hour doing all that(gosh. haha) and that we then streamed to the other side of the airport where only people taking flights could enter. Before we bid our seniors and family good bye, my sisters gave me a cute litle carrot cushion, an arab bookmark and lots of beatings and punches(cos they wont be able to do so for the nxt few days, so bad right?) and my mum gave me a great big hug. through that few seconds, i felt warmth, motherly love and that i am gonna like so miss her. After bidding good bye, I felt really sad and excited at the same time. I looked around the airport shops like a blur sotong and then we headed straight to the customs. I thought that my screwdriver was gonna get conviscated as it was a sharp object, but the understanding officers there returned it to me with a kind smile.=).

The band waited at a waiting area, then walked intot a linkway to the plane. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach as i passed the pink-wall papered linkway.I entered the plane, and my seat was 16B. I was being sent to be seated with mdm zaibon and miss Faten. i was a little disappointed that i didnt get to sit with my juniors joanne and jun. haha, and they could sense the happiness and joy that is within me. Yeah, and they even questioned me whether i was excited. maybe there is some kind of glow on my face that everyone could see.=). Then the plane left the airport, it first did the warm ups, that is to like go slowly on the run way; i was looking out of the window and see through that damn freagin window now the scenery will be like. All of a sudden, this TV thingy pooped out in every row right in front of us above our heads. I exclamied "cool!", and miss Faten who was beside me was like "cool right?". i nodded showing signs of agreement . The plane started to tilt as it started to soar above the ground. I felt air brushing past my face. and was like being compressed and restricted to my seat. i tried to distract myself by looking at the scenery outside of the window. of what would be the birds eye view of a plane. my stomach felt queasy. I was very amazed and flabbergasted at the scenery of Singapore which depicted much beauty in it. I saw cars on roads which resembled ants marching into their ant house. Also, I get to see the top view of changi airport; the vibrant colours, the beautiful shape of the planes, and the twinkling spotlights, which looked a lot like stars blinking at me. The plane was tilted at a degree of 45 degrees, gradually becoming less inclined. We were like astronauts soaring into space never returning to earth. Thereafter, was the top view of Pulau ubin and pulau tekong. It was really interesting and amazed me of how the scenery looked like. It was marvelous, marvelous i tell you. All kinds of shapes and colours, land and water. As the plane accelerates at a fast speed, the scenery changed from shapes, sizes, into clear blue skies with clear horizons and clouds. The land totally disappeared. It was like i was in heaven. Away from the stressful life style of singapore. The clouds looked a lot like cotton candy, i really felt like reaching out grabbing them to eat and enjoy. Also, My imagination also told me i was not in heaven. i was also like in Antartica. My imagination ran. The clouds looked like penguins and seals, and that there was even 1 which looked like a humongous killer whale. Too bad i didnt get a camera to capture the beautiful sights and scenes, However, the feel and the picture is still clearly imprinted into my mind. After 20 minutes or so, the skies turned black and grey. Nightfall and rain had arrived. Thereafter, the captains voice brought me back from dream world. he boomed that the temperature was 29 degrees and that there would be showers. The sky remained as black. As black as justice Baos face. I then got real bored(xianned) with the scenery, as i usually associate black with unhappiness and that some disaster is gonna happen. I looked around the plane, the teachers beside me were chatting as happy like birds chirping away. EVeryone was busy talking away. I reached out for my haversack below my seat, and took out my A math ten years series, and started doing. After attempting super complicated and sophisticated sums, the teachers broke me out of my engrosment. "waseh, model student!" they said. My face obviously turned red like a big huge red tomato. and i hurriedly kept it.

Dinner then arrived, teriyaki chicken sandwich, with water. Well, better than nothing. After finishing my simple meal, I was starting to get real bored. i felt vibrations below from my feet. The plane was landing. I actually expected plane landings to be fun, exhilarating, and exciting. but it was just going parallel, down and decelerating. So, i learnt something here. and that is "plane take offs are much more fun than landings!" We arrived at the sarawak airport, cleared the customs and headed for merderka palace hotel. where we will be recuperating for the night. WE stopped to get some food at a mall. then to the hotel. My room mate was jun. yea. and we shared a suite with keeem, erhao, taufik and farhan. keem and er Hao goked the master bed room. haha, but we are satisfied with ours. It was kindda comfy and cosy, though i prefered home. I smsed my mum to tell her i was safe. Something spoiled my mood thereafter which was something i wasnt suppose to find out.yea. yea. got kindda envious with someone. dont wann rake up the unhappiness. yea. But still can remember how unhappy i felt when i found out about that thing. yea. but its ok. then after that, talked to wei jun for the rest of the night, while the rest of the band members were partying away. As we talked till about 5 in the morning, we drifted off to dreamland...


well, thats about it. gotta go sleep already. tomorrow is my chemistry and english common test. 11.30pm. gosh. yea.
