Balik Kampung - The plane ride
Posted on October 16, 2006 - Filed Under Uncategorized
The plane was scheduled to leave on time and I had like an hour before boarding. I was thinking about what happened in the bus earlier and prayed nothing weird will happen. One thing about Air Asia passengers is that they frequently queue up in front of their respective gates without being asked to. In fact people would start forming a line as early as 40 minutes before the stated time. Foreigners would be thinking why in the world anyone would want to remain standing for 40 minutes when there are benches all round. Well I actually heard this conversation from the couple behind me and yes I was also one of those mad people standing in line. I thought if I was in line first at least I could get a good seat and not worrying about finding a good seat.
After a ‘mere’ half an hour, the gates were opened and off I walked towards the parked A320 in front of me. Here’s a tip for everyone, use the back entrance to enter the plane as it’s faster. I manage to get a sit by the window. Later on, the seats beside me were occupied by a couple. The person who was seating beside me wore a sleeveless shirt and it wasn’t a pleasant sight at all. Knowing that there was an odour lingering around our place, I quickly turned open the aircond above to the max. The person saw what I did and I pulled my shirt, in and out, indication of being hot. Wouldn’t want any trouble would I?
The person followed suit and my God when he extended his arm, the length of the armpit hair that jutted out was ridiculously long. I swear to God that I have never seen armpit hair that long and I quickly nicknamed the person, ‘Armpit Monster.’ As soon the person finished meddling with the aircond above, I started gasping for air. How’d I wish if the oxygen mask could come down at moments like this. Maybe the air stewards should say, “ In case if there’s a low pressure in the cabin or strong odour from person beside, this emergency mask will appear from the above compartment.”
Speaking of air stewards, I thought my day couldn’t get weirder but suddenly the head of stewards announced that they are going to demonstrate the safety procedure and it was to be performed by the ‘Charlie’s Angels’. My jaw dropped and my eyes tripled in size. What the hell was he thinking? I know Air Asia has always been different but this was just weird. I was grateful that the 3 air stewardess didn’t get into that Angel pose before demonstrating the safety procedure because that would easily have killed a few people on-board. Nevertheless, at least it was something different for a change. I could see some smiles as I glanced around.
The journey was smooth all the way and we were actually ahead of time. The couple beside me dozed off right after the plane took off and they were busy ‘fishing’ during the whole journey. I held the arm rest tightly as the plane was about to land. As the plane touched down with that normal loud screech sound, the person woke up in a shock and grabbed my left leg. I was like wtfffffffffffffff.
“Bak maaf ya, saya dari Medan”
He was a she >_<” And she had ‘lalang’ hidden at her armpit and she looked like a guy. No she’s not a shemale. She must be here as a maid. My whole thigh has been fondled by a lalang monster. Damn it.
It must have been her second flight only. Just like the limping man, I grabbed my stuff and dashed off.
