where cool cats linger
Ahh, slept rather well last night. No noisy neighbors and no sudden movements. Woke up slightly late to Mom’s morning call. She’d walked the entire neighborhood this morning and wanted to tell me about how nice AJ Hackett’s bungy platform is.
She and Khairil went ahead with breakfast while I packed all my things. Good thing about travelling with shopaholics is that they always bring additional room for purchases. 
Hello. Long time no blog.
The only thing I’ll mention right now is that I’ve finally identified what I’ll be watching next:
- Inu Yasha. Inspired to continue watching this series after seeing the Shinjitsu no Uta ending.
- Kaikan Phrase. Found torrents! Yay!
Btw, 20th Century Boys volume 17 is out.

It’s a problem when you arrive at the airport just before midnight, cuz all the drivers aren’t willing to take you until the midnight rates start, which can be double.
We managed to grab a premier airport limo just 7 minutes before midnight, to the driver’s dismay. We got to know this early into the drive, when a pal of his called.
Yet he didn’t seem to want to rush back to the airport. Probably was going to go home anyway.
To sum up the experience, I was fearing for my life for the second time that day. First of all, there was this awful shuddering sound coming from one of the wheels. Was as if the suspension was shot. Secondly, the driver can’t maintain constant speed, which wasn’t a safety concern, but it was downright annoying. He’d accelerate, then let go… then accelerate… and let go… again and again! Geez, people like these should just retire! And finally, like most Malaysians, very poor lane control. I was almost certain the guy was going to fall asleep at the wheel, and I was concentrating on his driving the entire time.
Luckily the rest of my family was asleep and didn’t have to go through that ordeal.
The airport people are really doing a bad job. It was bad enough when Tajuddin was the big boss, but it doesn’t get better from there. First the doors that won’t open, and then the poor condition of their ‘premier’ cars and drivers. I really fear for all travellers entering and leaving KLIA.
Home at last.
Got out of the plane quickly only to find ourselves trapped at the gate because the ground crew idiots forgot to unlock the doors.
So evil.
Arrived for our flight too early for check-in. Hung outside eating two 5,000Rp McDonald’s Spicy Chicken burgers.
Check-in was a breeze. ‘cept for the part where Ayin left our ‘passenger courtesy service fee’ in a suitcase. THAT was then paid at a special counter just to collect Rp100,000 from each of us.
Mom was shocked at the astronomical prices at the souvenir shops around the boarding lounge. Wish she had bought all the stuff she wanted in town instead of trying to find the best deals.
Chatted up a pretty local girl selling soda and candy.
The boarding process itself was surprisingly fast, compared to the delay at KLIA.
