I feel like strangling someone!! Grrrrrr...Me and my lil sis were all geared up to pass the baton to our kakak bibiq supposedly last night when her flight was supposed to touch down at 10.00pm from Surabaya @LCCT. All I could think of is yippieee, no more aching feet and house chores. Unfortunately my happiness was shortlived when I received a call from her at 7pm our time (Indon time 6pm) telling me that the she had missed her flight!!!!!! Urggh!!! The conversation went like this:-
Me: Hello....
Her: Adik, saya punya pesawat sudah bertolak...saya terlepas!
Me: Huh...apa??? (Taking a few seconds to compute what she just said)
Her: Iya, bila saya sampai, counternye sudah tutup...gate sudah tutup..ada 30 org lagi yg tak dapat naik juga.
Me: Macam mana boleh sampai lambat?
Her: Saya keluar pkl 2, ada banjir lumpur di sini...Jam teruk. (Since she normally goes back every year...we all thought she could have anticipated all this!!!My blood boiling already!)
Me: Damn....kakak tanya boleh guna ticket sama untuk pesawat satu lagi tak?? (Yayaya...thinking that Air Asia was kind enough to allow that!)
Her: Sudah...tak bolehhhhh dik..Macam mana ni???
Grrrr.....and now she is still in Surabaya waiting for her next flight out this Tues which I am sure she will remember for the rest of her life. One way ticket is sooo damn expensive and I bet it is an expensive lesson for her. The banjir lumpur is pretty bad nowadays, and she of all people should know thatla kan. Well, I hope this is a lesson learnt for her...oh and wish us luck...I hope we can sleep soundly on Tuesday night knowing that she is back!!

I sure hope the maid wasn't pulling your leg about missing the flight, on account to spend more time with her family.
Some are known for making excuses like that, like in my mom's case.
That mishap aside, have a fabulous New Year, Nour!
hi theta,
yeah that thot was in my mind when she told me abt the incident, I kept asking myself, is it genuine..Anyway she has to bear the cost and she had 2 extra days...lets see whether she has more execuses today when she is supposed to take the flight at 12noon.
Happy New Year!!Hope 2008 will be an awesome year for all of us.
