suddenly....

i'm in malaysia now...it's so weird...suddenly i'm here...suddenly it's so hot, suddenly star world is on tv...suddenly i'm eating ikan bakar while a 'rock mat' sings eric clapton's wonderful tonight a few metres away(got to say, surprisingly, he's not that bad)... i mean, i was just in the 'routine' before...i was just getting ready for school...i was just late for school again(there was an assembly and everyone was already in the theatre and when i came in, i think everyone was glaring at me, so embarassing), i was just in business management class, desperately waiting for it to be over while ms kyprianos tries to shut the class up yet again...i was just waiting for abang to pick me up, waiting, in front of the school, more than half an hour after the bell had went, looking like an idiot as i'm always the last one to be picked up, there's like NO ONE else there, like a deserted school and the 'crickets are cricketing' in the background, and i'm still waiting for him...only to find out later that he was still sleeping...probably in that 'evil' mattress, yes, 'EVIL', it's the mattress that will make you sleep no matter how many red bulls you have drank...

so back to my story on...wait..what day was that? i've even lost track.....on...wednesday...yes wednesday...in the morning, on the way to school, abang told me that bapak said that i should try the night flight...this was in the morning...on the way to school! i haven't even packed and my room was a mess! the whole day in school i was thinking if i should go or not...go or not? go or not? and it didn't help that i was getting my exam results back...which was disappointing really...didn't do the best i could have for accounting and business, even though i slept at 1 or 2 studying for it! and surprisingly, i got the highest mark out of the class for the exam that i didn't even study much for - english...yes, english..the subject that didn't think much of because i knew i'd probably just get average...the opposite always happens doesn't it? so anyways, went back home and bapak called, insisting to try the night flight as it was the only flight that wasn't overbooked...and so i 'had my mine set' on packing, airport, plane, flying, unappealing plane food...i was going to pack but was super hungry so went down to get food then wanted to watch tv but nothing good was on so went up to watch prison break on computer...see la...can watch prison break some more....i said to myself that i was just going to watch one episode...denying the fact that i KNEW that wasn't going to happen...while watching, bapak called and said the night flight was now overbooked too...back to square one, go or not? go or not? bapak said just pack your bag and he will call again later to see if it's worth it to try...and so i continued my prison break...bags still unpacked...i ended up watching 2 and a half episodes...prison break is so addictive! the cliff hangers are too good...then, bapak called again and said try the night flight...sooo the thought of packing, airport, plane, flying, unappealing plane food entered my mind once again...so i packed my bag in record breaking time, got ready, and was off to the airport...

got to the airport and there was a huge line! but luckily, i didn't have to go through that as i was on stand by and all i had to do was go the last counter and show my please-be-kind-and-help-me-get-on-the-flight face...haha...(like the one Puss-in-Boots had in Shrek)...the lady said come back at 11.30...so me and abang went to mcdunall to get the one meal we can only eat - fish o' fillet or as mummy once said "fillet o' chips" hahaha (she wanted to say that she got fillet o' fish and chips but as what you're thinking and what you want to say don't always come out right...the term "fillet o' chips" was blurted out)...sooo...came back at 11.30 then got 'just-in-case checked in'...i didn't know if i was on the flight yet...after my bag got tagged, was told to wait for another 5 to 10 minutes...was waiting anxiously...talking to abang..then i sort of heard the guy said to the other guy "so estehfa's on"...ok, so he said 'estehfa' the most annoying mispronunciation of my name but..it's ok...i think he said i got on the flight...BUT i still didn't know completely if i was on or not...so..still waiting anxiously...then a few minutes later...a guy gave me a boarding pass! i was on! yay! THEN...i realised that the boarding pass had a different colour to what i usually got and it said 'golden club class' so i was like "oh my god! is that a business class seat?! did i get upgraded?!" abang had it in his hands and realised my seat was 3J then i KNEW i got upgraded because his face turned into PURE ENVY..hahahahaha...he has never been on business or first class before...i couldn't stop laughing when his face changed when he realised my seat number...hahaha...so...i hurried off to the plane, found MY business class seat and settled in...there was so many buttons for the seat! to recline, to raise your legs upright, to bring in more support for your back, to massage, to rotate 360 degrees....ok la, maybe not that...AND they served me satay, on proper plates with metal forks and spoons...you can cross out unappealing plane food for sure...AND the toilet was so spacious...don't you hate the toilets in economy where it's almost less than a metre big and you can't even wash your hands properly because the sink is like an inch wide...ok, maybe i overly exaggerated...

eh...i have rambled on too long...have to stop...so ya...that was what happened and it all happened so quickly...like bang...Bang...BANG! had to fly at night, exam results, didn't have to fly then had to fly then got a seat then business class seat!

ok then, i should go...i think this will probably be the longest i have and will write for a post...
