I saw the other side of the clouds

The sight of clouds laid out like a field of cotton candy is beautiful. I didn't snap any photographs as I was not seated by the window but it looked something like this :


which kind of makes me want to roll around in the field of clouds slash cotton candy ;)

I travelled from Singapore to Penang via Tiger Airways, a budget airline from Spore. However, I swear this would be the first and last time cos Tiger Airways suck balls.

Firstly, it was a 0845 flight which means i had to be there two hours beforehand to check in. Getting to Changi Airport was breezy, which means I don't have to spend RM70 on taxi to airport or shit like that. I checked in and the first announcement hit me in the face. Flight was delayed for half an hour due to 'technical difficulties'. I swear I hear that reason so often everywhere!

Nvm I was at the end of the queue anyway and then closed to 0915, the second announcement asked us to walk from Gate 6 to Gate 3. Okay nvm I walked with the rest of the passenger. And then wait again.

Patience running out. The Indian guy in front of me tried to make small talks with me, made me even less patient. Then we boarded the plane, and it was friggin compact. Okay I know I shouldn't be complaining as it is supposed to be like that when you choose to buy a friggin budget airline ticket. But seriously, the seat was very small, I think the seat in my bus is even bigger and comfy. No small TV screen some more! So I spend 1 hour staring at the back seat of an uncle lor. The pilot actually tried to ease the mood a little because all of us were strapped in the plane but the plane could not take off until one more flight attendant that was called in last minute arrived. I think it took half an hour or so before he announced that she (later on I found out her name was Rachel as well zzz) was caught up in traffic jam. What the hell, we were in Singapore! There's no jam in that country!

Oh well, by 1130 i was in Penang so I happily walked to the taxi counter and got ripped off in my own country. Taxi to Jelutong, which is 10-15 minutes away cost me RM42. Fucking hell yet i had no choice. Now I'm home with mummy doing nothin but watch tv and sleep. Why don't I have friends in Penang tsk tsk.
