(well, shit happens when you least expect it)
So yesterday. i was supposed to board the 9.05 pm flight from KL back to singapore. And because i had already done a web check-in, i planned to reach KLIA latest by 7.30 pm.
That meant, we couldn't have dinner with his relatives and had to have early dinner before heading down to the airport, which is approximately an hour's drive away.
After dinner at madam kwan's and a quick coffee bean booster, we left bangsar at 6 pm. We were ahead of schedule and i was pretty happy. But to my surprise, there wasn't a separate web check-in counter and i had to join the queue.
So what's the whole point of web check-in right?
Never mind that since the queue wasn't too long and they apologised for the system which was down.
Boarding time said 8.25 pm and piggy was urging me to leave at 8.10 pm so that i won't have to rush. Before i went to the immigration counters, we even checked the screen one last time for any changes to my flight.
I took the airport train and walked to Gate C4 only to see an empty place with an overhead screen that said..
REMARKS: NEW GATE
Fine. i walked to Gate C11 and saw a huge mass of people crowding around. Turns out. Flight delay to 11 pm. Thanks for informing us so last minute. i tried to stay positive and tell myself that hey! At least i'll reach singapore by 12 midnight.
But nooooo.. The staff said that the plane will only reach KL at 11 pm. And boarding time is 10 pm. Does it even make sense?
I called piggy right away and we were both feeling frustrated because we could have spent more time together and didn't have to rush our day.
I went to some open lounge to sit for the next hour and went back to the boarding gate. People were still waiting outside. i was on facetime with piggy while waiting and at 11 pm, the staff said that the plane will only depart at 12.50 am. Zzz!!
And they pacified us with some burger king voucher.
Thankfully, there was this nice lady who kept me company for the remaining time.
Ended up reaching singapore at almost 2 am. And i've to wake up at 5.45 am for school. Daddy had to wait for me and sleep late as a result.
Oh, did i mention the reason for the delay?
THERE WAS NO CAPTAIN TO FLY THE PLANE.
Nice one.
