Stack, Fly, and Bump!

Assalamualaikum,

how are you, everyone? Hope you had wonderful week. Just came back from Surabaya, and so sorry for the lack of update.

It is sure a beautiful city, less crowded than the good old Jakarta, and filled with wonderful cuisines (I tried sioke, a Javanese version of roasted chicken, and for sure, you could not have too much of that thing. It is addictive!)


Anyway, the journey back was less than good. Yours truly took a budget airline (not unusual to me, I assure you) and was surprised when a stewardess gracefully dropped a glass of mineral water in front of yours truly's lap and she might safely declare that was all she was going to get!.
In this case what you see is what you really get, and yours truly was so relieved she had taken a trouble to eat at least more than what her stomach desired a few hours back.

It didn't end up there. After less-than-comfortable journey and some huff-and-puff along the immigration counter, the real challenge began: THE BAGGAGE.

How they ended up having THREE different airways with THREE different bunch of baggages in the same belt I did not know.

So at that afternoon, yours truly was forced to be happy to juggle between having to wait for her baggage and having to attend a 5 pm meeting at Orchard, bless her.

Baggage arrived, and finally, she was able to drag her f*t b*ttom and live those poor people waiting.

Well, I was a Lion Air 's passenger, hear me roar! :P
