“Day 1â€? was spent on the aeroplane. All 7 hours of it. Of course an average person can figure out that 7 hours does NOT constitute a DAY. But every group tour we’ve ever been to counts the night travelling time as ONE DAY. So say, if your tour package is a 6 days 4 nights combo, you can bet your ass that 2 of those days are strictly travelling-on-the-plane days.Yeah it’s a rip off. But hey, we’re all just Bitches of the System. But whatever lah. It’s a family holiday to a place where people speak no English, or Chinese, or Malay. I’m not going to risk eating raw baby intestines everyday JUST because I didn’t understand Korean. No sirree.

So the flight was at 1am. I can not even being to describe how much I HATE night flights, so I won’t bother.

The flight was delayed by 45 minutes. No reasons given.

I’m thinking to myself – Oh my god. This trip hasn’t even begun and ALREADY it’s sucking big sweaty hairy balls. Argh.

And it didn’t get better. And because it didn’t get any better, naturally, it only got worse.

It was a MAS plane by the way. It looked like crap. Like a badly made toy plane. Like some giant baby had glued strips of metal together with industrial glue. It was rickety. It had a smell. It was tiny. The seats looked like a hundred years old. There were NO individual monitor screens… and the toilets were… oh my god. This is WORSE than the Air Asia planes. Ok not worse. As bad. But we EXPECT Air Asia planes to be crap because we pay CRAP for it. What we don’t expect is CRAP when we pay a THOUSAND dollars for it. SHIT.

And the crew. Oh my god. It was as if the MAS management had travel BACK into time where Neanderthals clubbed their women and dragged them home into the caves, kidnapped a couple of those buggers, dressed them up in uniforms, slapped 5 inches of pancake make up on them, and shove them into cabins to serve. Bunch of apes.

There was one air stewardess who looked like a MAN. I swear it. It.. it was horrible. I am traumatised for LIFE. She… He…. IT looked like a Thai Bapok Reject. Not even. Argh.

Another thing was that these things (I can’t even call the air crew people because they sure as hell weren’t acting like one)…. they were rude little impatient PRATS! Never smiling. Always frowning. Always in a hurry to be somewhere. I saw how they handled a couple of request made by passengers. They were usually answered back rudely with a “NO, what exactly DO YOU WANT?â€? or brushed off in a hurried “Yeah, I’ll come back to you byeâ€? like they were just a bunch of annoying flies. It was shocking. It was CHAOTIC.

But let’s get back to ME. I was sitting on the aisle yeah. And every SINGLE time I tried to flag down a crew member they just rushed passed COMPLETELY IGNORING ME. I tried to ask for water and for those eyes cover thingies (to sleep yo) on 2 separate occasions, BUT THEY JUST COMPLETELY RUSHED PASSED ME like I wasn’t EVEN THERE! Like I was INVISIBLE! THEY EVEN FORGOT TO GIVE ME MY MEAL OK! MY MEAL! HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?!?!?

It’s like 3 in the fucking AM. The plane was late. I was hungry. No meal. Couldn’t sleep. Plan rocking like sampan in the middle of a hugeass storm. No entertainment. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.

The last straw was when one of those things in a MAS crew uniform gave me only TWO eye patch thingies when I had distinctively and CLEARLY asked for THREE for mum, sis and myself, and then
after she disposed off the patches, she hurried herself RIGHT away like I was a leper. No explanations. Nothing.

*give. run*

MH066. Jot it down. NEVER fly it. Ever. I’m staying away MAS flights like an infectious flesh eating plague. Miserable does not EVEN begin to describe how I felt that morning. I was SO miserable that “miserable� was like a sunshine, rainbows and blue skies.

I gave those 2 eye patch thingies to mum and sis. That’s it lah. I’ve had enough of this bullshit.

Then I covered my face with the MAS blanket……. and the tears started rolling down.

And just in case you were wondering, no, this was NOT a good beginning to my Korean trip.
