Finally reached Canada! With a total of 18hrs of flight! killer!
The begining:So my journey started on late night of 29th Oct from the Kuching International airport. Reached the airport early thinking that I could check in early to get a nice seat. Thigns didnt go as planned, as the usual AirAsia is delayed. Had to wait for an extra hour for the damn plane to arrive. The delay cause the plane to reach the LCCT terminal late whch results me having taking the midnight taxi to KLIA, whch of course is twice the usual fare for day rides. Screw AirAsia. I wonder if they are collaborating with the taxi companies to gain extra.
KLIA: Tried to get some sleep whch is next to impossible, with people coming in and out and around KLIA. PLus, its rather chilly there at night. Ended up with only 2 hrs of sleep and the rest of the time tossing around. Bah! Checked in at 7 and went strolling around till 9.30 for my flight off to Hong Kong. Flight was uneventful but comfy.
Hong Kong: Had to rush to transit my flight to Canada. Blardi hell, I got rushed for nothing, cuz when I reached the check in counter, I was told the flight got delayed for an hour and half. Buggers! And for this delay, my luggage has to be relableld for collection in Canada. Wandered around the airport while trying to find the gate to my flight off to the other end of the world which leaves at 3.45pm.
Trans pacific flight: Oh God! This has got to be one of my bad memories of flying! Hahaha! A total stretch of 13 hours across the Pacific Ocean. With a full flight and limited entertainment, it would surely take someone with mental stamina to bear with all this. Wanted to get a window seat earlier to take midair sunset and sunrise shots, but as mention, flight was full.Couldnt sleep much, or should i say at all! Flight attendants for Air Canada aint too good too. They can actually skip a person while sending out meals and telling people to throw the rubbish off in the galley themselves! Bad service! Thumbs down for Air Canada. Had to readjust the time upon nearing Canada. Great! my Biological clocks now totally screwed up.
Canada 'Vancouver': Brrr! Its chilly out here. Times 12.45pm 30th Oct. Its 3.45am in Malaysia. Hey I shuld be sleeping right now. Screwed up biological clock. Once agn, I had to rush. Next flight at 1.35pm. Didnt make it for tht flight however. Why? Cuz...WHERE THE HELL IS MY LUGGAGE?!?! Blardi hell! It never apeared. Asked teh personnel there if my luggage may have been flown to calgary. They mentioned I would have to collect it there in Vancouver before transferring it to Calgary. Waited and waited. Never appeared. Tried to call home and my uncle i Calgary and tell about my misfortunate series of events but more misfortunate events occur. Not enough coins to call. Tried my credit card, didnt work either. Screw it. Filed a lost luggage report b4 taking another different flight off to Calgary. Wonder where my luggage is? Still in Hong Kong? In Kathmandu? Or Zimbabwe?
Canada 'Calgary': Finally reached my final stop. At last! No more flights! Already feeling rather annoyed, tired and hungry. Dun raelly cared about whatevers going on except reachign my final stop. Wondering if my uncle knws if i have arrived. Luckily he knw.
Thank goodness! At least Im getting somewhere now. Checked with the airport personnel abt my missing luggage again. Was told tht if they see it, they'll send it right to my unlces doorstep. LEft. Places here is really really cold! Temperature of -13'c! Could really freeze! I already missed a lot here. 1st, the red leaves of the maple trees. They're already gone. 2nd, the process of snowing. Sigh. Had a little tour around the countryside before settling down. Hopefully Ill get my luggage tmr.
*No pics this time agn! My cables and pic processing cd are in the luggage!
