First

time landed one of the famous southern hemisphere country; claimed to have the largest, biggest of this and that. Yes as a matter of fact. There isn't a large number of huge country for them to compete with however. Ha-ha.
I suppose I'm gonna make it less chronological. Point form.
Just that I have the urge to write. I lose it now. Urgh.
Ok go on.
Stopover in the capital for about twelve hours. Met those familiar faces. Dropped.
Talked much. Talked less. Talked awkward.
Got it very much planned with a slight glitch. Took the free bus to KLCC instead. Now that I know. free bus available servicing KLCC via Bukit Bintang.
Talked much again. Let it out loud. Was some relief.
On the way to the air port for connecting flight. Shower planned abandoned. Regardless it was all nicely timed. With very minimal (almost none) pathetically-alone waiting time. Changed in the fully covered toilet. For the first time ever, did tooth brushing and face washing in the public toilet. Hesitant at first. Unsure why having the feeling it would be a total embarrassment; thinking it might be disallowed. Excitedly. Note to self. The Airline never weight backpacker style of carry-in luggage. Hope it'll be the same in the future, far future included.
Boarded. Excitedly. Did I mentioned that I never purchase to choose any specific seat but was randomly allocated to an aisle seat? Plus, by the time I got in, there's an ang-moh next to me in the middle seat I reckoned. But he moved to the window seat soon before take off. All in all, it was a spacious ride!
(typing interrupted; urgh not sure if I could continue)
(typing resumed. After a third quarter of the day)
The journey took nearly eight hours. The Ang-mo sitting an empty seat next to me was a big sized one. No offense. Plain description. During which a couple of times he sort of solving my puzzle game on my mobile. That is exactly peeping on my mobile game.
I realised it wasn't an exactly comfortable journey. Reasonably Okay I would say. Might not be a long sound sleep but rather lots of short naps. And oh, the awkwardness when I had my in-flight meal while the Ang-mo hasn't.
I remembered how beautiful the scene was; during the last an hour or two of the flight. It was early sunrise morning by then. Seeing the rays of sunrise (whatever number of) feet or meter above ground is magnificent. This reminds me of the days, where I suppose I have had this experience when flying between the Kuala Lumpur-London route. I believe most, if not some flights I took landing about the sunrise moments.
Getting off the airport wasn't entirely a troublesome ones. Perhaps mainly due to my occupied mind. Figuring out whether to this or to that. Electronic passport clearing was a breeze for me. For the second time it was. Failed for the first time. Probably because I smiled or shut my eye during the face recognition section. Pretty impressed. That got me thinking; interesting. Now that I compare; the Malaysian passport/immigration clearance on my return journey was on thumbprint method as opposed to Australian face recognition method. Ah well. Seems complicated to decide which is better or more at risk of being imitated for unlawful purpose.
I must say it all went pretty well; not until the "items declaring" section. The queue is unbelieving long. Then again. It wasn't thaaat bad after all. Despite the fact that the immigration personnel are all reasonably efficient. The queue did move considerably quick. When selected for needing to unpack and disclosed your belongings whether or not you have declared items specified; the procedure is somewhat similar to those grocery stores check-out tills. With the officer wearing a hand gloves inspecting each and every items unpacked. Me being the not so "lucky" ones; been instructed to go straight to the exit points (not needed to be inspected) despite I had declared of bringing in possibly restricted food items.
And the rest is history. That is it for now. I shall; maybe continue again when I have had the urge and moment to further this typing.
