Believe it or not, it was Juan's first time ever flying. It was funny to see him getting excited and having butterflies in his stomach. It wasn't that obvious. It's more obvious on his inner feeling. He don't show it cause he thinks it's not cool for a guy. It's a sissy thing to do.
Well, our flight was scheduled on the 18th April, 7.25pm. We traveled by FireFly. I never like flying in Fokker. They're just too 'shaky'. The feeling of taking off and landing in a Fokker is just awful.
I finished my work around 5.30, headed to his house where his dad was supposed to send us to the airport. It was early for us, so we had McDonalds.
While at the airport, we talked about my experience on flying. How every cabin of different airplane is different, we chatted about business class and first class, about A380, China Airlines, what's the worst airline ever, which airline has the hottest air stewardess (I'm not lesbian), which airline has the best food and all.
When it was time for boarding, we took out our identification card and boarding pass. We walked towards our departure gate just to find out that our flight was delayed 15 minutes. Juan was playing with his phone while I was reading The Kite Runner.
Me: You feel excited or not?
Juan: Ya(smilling). Feels like got butterfly in my stomach.
Me: (Lol) I don't believe that you have never taken an airplane before. Why ar?
Juan: I love driving
Me: Oh.
I'm happy that our seats were by the window. Since it was the first time for Juan, I'd thought it would be nice to let him seated by the window since he's an avid nature lover. I thought he'll be like 'Waahh', 'Aaahhh' or 'Oohhh'. But it wasn't that way.
Juan was in his bermuda shorts, t-shirt and slipper. We didn't have any luggage to check in so we (he) hand-carried all the bags. We had 3 of them. Furthermore it was only for a 2 nights trip.
Me: You know you look like what or not, carrying this bag with your shorts and slipper?
Juan: Like what?
Me: Like a China man who's never been on a plane or someone who's going to the market.
Juan: Really meh?
Me: Ya. Fashion disaster
This was taken at about 6am on Sunday. Our flight was scheduled at 8.15am by Air Asia. Reason being, the next flight to Penang was about 10ish pm. I didn't want to reach home that late. We took KLIA Express from Sentral station, transit at Salak Tinggi and took a bus to LCCT. On another note, it was Juan's first ride on KLIA Express as well and my first on the bus to LCCT. He didn't show any form of excitement. I guess for him, it's just another ordinary train ride like the LRT or KTM Commuter.
It's different for me because every time I travel on the KLIA Express, I develop this special feeling. Exciting, happy, regardless of how many times I have traveled in it. I love the smooth ride, the cold, the seats, the people. What I love most is sometimes you get to see pilots or stewardess traveling to KLIA for the first shift (Again, I'm no lesbian). They're just hot!
Upon reaching Penang International Airport, we walked down towards the arrival hall. We passed by the baggage claim belt. I was walking behind Juan. We should turn left, instead I was the only one doing it, while Juan walked straight and confidently towards the baggage claim. I stood there a few seconds thinking 'Do we have any luggage to claim?'. Then realized we didn't have any. I don't know why I called him out. I should have stand there and watch how far he'll go only to realized that he has gone the wrong way. It's going to be an epic.. Hahahahahaha
Me: Yang, where are you going?
Juan: Oohh, damn. I thought it was there.
Me: You so confident huh. (Lol). I don't know why I go and call you. Should just see until where you want to walk.
Juan: (Laughed) Ah, bloody hell.
