And there goes the tale bout' me missing my flight.....almost anyway.
And so everyone grew panicky....hey! I thought I told you! ....Why didn't you ask me??!...why this and why that...everyone making assumptions and asking pointless questions that had no answer. well, everyone manage to quiet down eventually. But seems that eyes are still darting here and there...as if they are shooting laser beams that will melt you down with guilt and shame...
Then there came the suggestion...."why not leave now? maybe they can do something bout' it at the airport".. (current time was 10, scheduled to leave at 11.30)
At that time it sounded brilliant but betrayed by the fact that it is Sunday and for something that involves the local government...they ARE on holiday right??
Anyway, since the airport is on an island....on a big island...the fastest way was by ferry. So, during the journey there, I was already giving up hope and started an inpromptu plan of my not-in-korea-holiday. Accompanying me was Despair. It told me that I would spend a very very very lonely week....but then I manage to find Hope who was just sitting beside me. Actually, Hope is my senior named Ben from Penang. Ben from Penang still holding strong to Operation Go-there-and-see-how.
Meanwhile, I was singing ..."Lonely...I am so lonely...I have nobody...I'm all aloooOONNEEEE"
The tearful tale continues when we reached the ferry terminal and there was a lovely decorated cheerful sign that says ..."Fully Book". Can you ladies and gentlement imagine the frustation at that time?? I was seriously questioning the existence of god and wondering if HE likes to play games.....sigh...
Anyway, we got to the airport by train. Reached there at 2.10. Flight at 3.00. We were greeted by smilling cute chicks at information counter. The one wielding a fiery pitchfork one gave me directions to the customs office...very kind of her. But we went on to collect our reserved tickets first. I asked one of them (There were 5 of us) to follow me to the offices while the rest went on to check in. I had to run very long to the office (according to directions given by cute chick at info counter) only to be told by a male officer there to ask the cute chick at flight counter instead. With time running out, I ran again to the place I was at and the cute chick...still smiling after I left her moments ago...licked her lips, smiled her wicked smile and told me .........they can do something about it!! Phew!! My first good news since my hols started!! Guess I don't have to spend a lonely week after all!! YAHOO!!!
I checked in at 2.45.....just in time! HaHA...Hahaha...ha.....phew....
Buckled my seat belt, sat back and started daydreaming my Korea Holiday....
Before this trip I've always had good impressions on stewardess...nice, pretty, beautiful...different from cute chicks at counter....until I discovered their well hidden malicious nature. One piece advice....Guys, Don't ever ever sit next to a more handsome guy in the airplane....I'm serious, no kidding. Sitting beside me was my one of senior whom I call Mamak Jiwang (MJ)....everyone of my female senior said he's hunky, handsome, cute, good looking and everything else good.
And The moment of TRUTH came....
I was feeling a lil' thirsty so I ordered a cup of something for myself....it never came. I pressed the call button, ordered again....never came. Frustated, I asked MJ instead to order for me...it came at once!! WHY?! Anyway, SHOCKed with my newfound knowledge, decide to try again....guess what? It never came. Had to ask my senior's help to order for me a cup of pepsi.....sigh...
When getting off the plane, them air stewardess smiled their very well practiced smiles and said Thank You For Flying With Us Hope You Had A Good Flight....oh, forget it! As if....and where's my pepsi??! humph....well, it's better to let bygones be bygones.
and....
KOREA!! I've stepped foot in Korea!! Woohoo!!
Feeling very happy now, I approached the counter....stationed by a MALE counter...smiled and gave him my passport. He took a looong look at my passport and suddenly....he frown!! GASP!! Why is he frowning? Frowning is good news right? please tell me that "frown" is good news!
to be cotinued...
