I started the day filling up the outbound form for the first time marking the E column instead of the D. I am now an "Australian resident departing temporarily" no longer a "Visitor or temporary entrant departing". I then boarded my flight to head home.
I got on the plane and found myself in a seat by the window, in the same row as two pretty nice Indonesian ladies. We chatted a bit before the flight took off. I then got tired, and decided to sleep. Indonesian ladies decided to stay awake and chat. Me, too tired, slept for a short while anyway. Got awoken up by fidgety chatty lady next to me. Tried to find another comfortable position to sleep in, failed. Shifted around for the next half hour. Stuffed songs into ears and blasted. To no avail. Sure blocked out the chat, didnt block out fidgetiness.
I got up, took a walk to see if there are any vacant seats. The back area was like heaven for some. People occupied whole rows and laid on it sleeping peacefully. I was like, WHAT, I've been cramped up in that tiny space all these while. But there were no longer any whole rows for me. No, not that lucky. But then, I spotted an empty-ish row. There was this one guy, who had the whole row to himself, but was sitting upright, with his legs slightly slanted off to the side.
I went up to him and asked if I could shift there. He had no objections, so I quickly moved my things over. I then had the best sleep on AirAsia ever. I could stretch my legs just that tiny bit more, made all the difference in the world. I then got woken up by the noisy air crew going around selling duty free stuff and merchandise. I looked to my left and found the nice guy shivering cause all he had on was this thin jacket.
I decided to offer him my blanket, since I was nice and warm and had enough sleep (1 hour) plus I still have my birthday jacket with me anyway. He took it gratefully and then had a sound sleep too. Glad that worked out well for both of us. =)
Landed then took a bus to KL Sentral, got the usual "flirtations" (if you may call it) from the local bus people. Malaysia, oh Malaysia. Took a train then to Kerinchi, where I called mommy to pick me up.
Got to mommy's office, had my first meal of the day - NASI LEMAK! Scarfed it down like a hungry wolf. Sat around, read my book a bit, then headed out to Mid Valley to meet Mr Bakh.
OH OH. I forgot to mention how paranoid people here are about the swine flu. Like SO MANY people are walking around hiding their noses and mouths like they have acne all over their face. So paranoid. Totally reminded me of one of my friend's really good facebook status - A million people have AIDS and no one wants to wear a condom, a few hundred people have swine flu and everyone wants to wear a mask.
Anyway, more paranoid beings in MV, had lunch, had dessert, talked, walked, went back to work/mommy's workplace. Hung around, time to head home.
Detour on the way home to....PASAR MALAM!! Woooo~~! Had my fill of ban chien kueh, apom balik, air mata kucing (PJ's best) and char kueh kak. Woah, I think I totally gained all my gym and badminton weight back in one day.
It's been a long day, and I tell you, I feel SO POOR here. Firstly, I'm living of Doodah's prepaid prescription glasses cash (lucky he gave me any), and I totally spent a whopping 3 figures in a day. Dahlah no money, spend so fast some more. Booo...
Anyway, toodles.

aaahh air asia! my sis has discovered a way to have better chances of getting an empty row.. choose the seats in front/middle section of the back cabin.. cos she has a theory that they fill up the seats in the front and the very back first for those who don't pay to select seats.. been working for me! once i got a whole row to meself.. the other time i got 1 empty seat!
