horrific flying experience

If my flying to Bali experience was awesome (read it here), it was a different story for my flying back home experience… it started with delayed of the flight. The departure time was supposedly on 4.05pm but was postponed due to bad weather. Yup, it was raining at that time. But another airlines elok jer landed without any problem. Only our flight je yang delayed. It was delayed for 3 hours. Being told that the pilot had to land in Surabaya airport then back to bali when the weather is passable. 

It was the longest flight delay that I’ve ever experienced. Luckily they provide some refreshment to keep us cool, otherwise bila perut lapar mau ade yang mengamuk! Hoho… 

At 7.00pm finally we were allowed to embark. Ambiance in the cabin was warm. Very warm hat it make us sweat. Hwmm… while passengers taking their seats during preparation for the departure, suddenly the airplane lights blackout and the engine shutdown. Huhh? Terkejut! Dah la panas… what’s wrong?? Then they tried many times to restart the engine. Many many times… after the engine is on for few seconds it turn off again… it happen several times. It seriously was bothering me. And I am sure it wasn’t only me. All the other passengers also seem worried about the situation. One of them stands up and asked the flight attendant about the condition of the airplane. I overheard she explained it is because the lack of energy from the ground to ignite the engine. What the…?? Hwmm.. Whatever it is it still makes me worry.

I was very very worried that I feel like abandoning the airplane and buy another ticket to fly back home. I started visualizing the Final Destinations movie where the airplane crash and they all die. Ye lah… dah la delayed, cabin panas, pastu engine on off pulak, pastu ada baby in the plane nangis punya kuat (panas lah tu..), environment masa tu memang disturbing. There must be something wrong with the airplane. What if it fails during departing? What if the power shuts down and engines turn off at 40000ft in the air?? What if it blows? What if?? What if?? It was 3 hours journey tau… and what if I die?? What if my hubby dies?? What if we both die?? Kesiannyer Raheel… time tu terbayang muka dia and rasa nak nangis dah! Haha.. Fortunately hubby kept his cool and calms me down. Hihihi… tu lah.. kurang knowledge about airplane, tu yang panic tak tentu pasal tu… hehehe…

Anyway, we safely departed from Ngurah Rai Airport and safely landed in KLIA… although during the 3 hours flight we went through few times of air turbulence. Luckily the flight attendants were very friendly, kind and helpful. Macam tetau je aku ni tgh nervous sampai tertumpahkan air! Hehehe.. hoh sekotak tisu dia bagi kt aku. Pastu kacang selonggok, coklat kit kat lagi bebanyak… hihihi… then siap boleh sembang2… MH is Malaysian Hospitality… 

No matter what, I was so glad when the airplane touched the ground though the landing wasn’t very smooth. I guess the pilot is still new with boeing 777 and lack of experience on handling that huge bird… anyhow… thank god we are safe to have many more flying experience… and hope for the good ones, and no more horrifying one… enough la… hihi..
