Ok, things have all been planned and discussed.. Decisions have all been made. So now it's time to leave my home country, Malaysia... I was pretty excited but I was very sad as well leaving behind people whom I love to bits (parents, brother, friends and my 2 precious dogs).
Departed Penang International Airport via MAS and arrived at KLIA at about 11am.
Malaysia Airlines' aircraft (MAS)
Walked around doing nothing apart from utilizing the toilets in KLIA before I get to the small and ever busy LCCT airport!
I was only allowed, ok I only purchased, 20kg of luggage as I tooked Air Asia (also known as the world's best low cost carrier). Hmmm... I would say best food served in the air.
This was the part which I hated most and was swearing and complaining a whole lot to every single living creature on earth. I took the bus to LCCT from KLIA expecting it to be the coolest bus on earth, where you know.... those where they can actually lower the bus for you to manage your luggage or baby prams in a much easier way but TA-DA! It was like those buses even before RAPID (Malaysia's new bus company) was produced! It has a narrow staircase, 3 or 4 steps... Everyone was with small bags and me on the other hand, with a 20kg giant luggage and a 10kg small luggage!
I was panting like hell when I got up the bus and all the guys just turned and looked at me
instead of even offering a hand! Ok fine, I didn't open my mouth to ask for help but hello... couldn't any of them just helped me? I AM A WOMAN!!!! so i decided to take my own sweet time trying my super duper best to pushed it up with my knee together with all my almighty strength. Then, when I got up the bus, when i was taking out my wallet to pay, the bloody driver had the brain of a small cow... yes a small cow, a calf... WHY??? Because his brain was not so developed yet. He said to me "angkat bag masuk sikit, sini orang mau jalan"
Translation
bus driver: "move your back inside as people can't move"
This super duper pissed me off! I so wanted to say "hello, buta ah?" aka "r u blind?" Anyways, that was in the bus... Oh yah, how i got my bags down? without help again but instead, people trying to push their way pass me... IDIOTS! I was planning to just kick them down but I managed in the end... :P
I learned my lesson... Take the cab in future when you have big bags unless otherwise.
So when I got to the airport, I sat for a bit in the airport then off to Coffee Bean for a drink to refresh myself, while texting everyone trying to finish the credits I have got left in my mobile. Time to check in... checked in without any problems... when asked "buat apa kat England?".. "KAHWIN kat Spain, transit aja kat London!"...
Translation
officer: "what will you be doing in England"...
me: "Getting married in Spain, transit in London"
So time to go in and these stupid bloke kept telling me my bag was too big for hand luggage... my bad was too heavy for land luggage! fine! bloody 7kg for hand luggage all the way to London? How cheap can they be I was thinking and finally, when my bag was 7kg... Ok how i did that? chucked everything into my handbag and NO, i don't hold big LVs! When he checked my boarding pass, he said "Ahhh... London ka? London 10kg boleh"
Translation
Guy at the door: "ahhh London, as for London 10kg is allowed"
I was like "isn't that where i told you i was going?" - *still smiling but inside me burning hot*
Anyways, flight was good... As usual, got lucky, had 3 seats to myself... When i arrived in London Stansted, all the good seats were taken and I had to find a spot on the floor to sleep but in the end I found a chair to sleep. One single chair which was a torture to my back!

Walked around doing nothing apart from utilizing the toilets in KLIA before I get to the small and ever busy LCCT airport!

My favourite food served in the air - NASI LEMAK by Air Asia!

All the best, xoxo
P.S: I hope you enjoyed LCCT! Although I know you surely did enjoy Malaysia!
