Kuala Lumpur.

After 3 days in relative wilderness, I am now sitting in the Internet kiosk provided by Burger King (for RM15, may I add) in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I must say that the trip itself was eye-opening, but at the same time somewhat uninteresting. I guess I shall leave the details to a post later on with some of the rather interesting pictures that I’ve taken. The good thing was that I managed to see a couple of my relatives, many of them I have not met for almost 10 years. The food was always great, but the weather definitely wasn’t!

The flight from Pekanbaru to Kuala Lumpur wasn’t exactly the most exciting flight that I’ve ever been on, but then again given that it’s Air Asia, I should not have expected too much. Budget airline and all that. The only good thing to have come out from the flight was that the plane touched down at KLIA even before I fell asleep! Apparently the flight took 35 minutes instead of the scheduled 45. All the same, I appreciate a nice airport to be hanging around in.

Would be taking the flight scheduled for 12pm, even though Malaysian Airlines somehow managed to mess up my booking. Apparently they got my passport number, date of birth and even credit card number right, but my all-important name wrong! I guess perhaps that’s the good thing being in Malaysia instead of somewhere else, because they managed to sort out the problem fairly quickly and now I’m on my way back to Singapore. That said, if it was in Singapore or with the SIA I’m pretty sure they would not have such a problem arising. Or maybe they would?

Will be back in Singapore in about 2 hours’ time, and somehow I am not looking forward to it as much as I have a few days back. Spent too much time pondering about life when I was in Indonesia, and I didn’t have any good conclusion, or should I say, the conclusion to have come out from it wasn’t good. So I guess perhaps going back to reality wasn’t as exciting as it was for me a few days back. Oh well, at least I have the whole house to myself for a full 2 days. That’s something to look forward to.

See you guys around – a short update became much longer, so I guess the next one would be much longer.
