Bad experience with Air Asia

I booked the 9pm Air Asia flight to KL, supposed to reach KL at 12.40am. I rushed to the airport and upon arriving at the check in counter at 7.30pm, I was informed that the flight got delayed by 1/2 hour and the boarding time will be 9.00pm. Luckily I did not go straight to the airport. I went to the boarding gate by 9pm, and waited until 9.50pm before I was allowed to board. I again had to wait for another 1/2 hour before the plane take off.


I arrived in KLCCT at about 1.50am, and when everyone was prepared to get off the plane, the captain announced that we will have to wait for the stairs before we can get off. We waited another 10 minutes for this. When I went to the baggage arrival area, the information told us that it should be at counter "1" but there was no bag at all after waiting for 15 minutes. We suddenly saw a lot of people moving towards counter "2" which the screen showed bags from Bangkok, but the bags are actually our bags from Hong Kong. I checked with the workers and they told me there was error on the display screen as the staff keyed in wrongly. I had waited for like 30 minutes for my luggage and one of my canvas bag checked in was wet when I collected it. Luckily my wedding gown was not wet.


I only manage to leave the airport at about 2.30am!!! What a bad experience. The air ticket is not cheap after all (HK$900 1 way), I will never take Air Asia plane again unless I absolutely do not have other option!

SIA A380 plane and food
















I am impressed with the interior and entertainment available on SIA plane, no wonder it is the best airline in the world. It has been some time since I fly on SIA plane. I took the A380 plane from Singapore to Hong Kong, and I am impressed with the wide selection of movies, CDs by singers, games and even application programs they have (eg to learn languages). The plane even has USB port for you to load your pictures/ music and also i-pod dock for your i-phone or i-pod.

I also like the cheese cream crackers they serve, together with the nice cheese cream spread. Their service was very good too.

Lim Chee Guan - Sliced Pork (Bak Gua)

A lot of Singaporean friends highly recommended this Lim Chee Guan Bak Kua which is apparently very popular in Singapore. I saw long queues lining up to purchase this slice pork and finally decided to try it. 300g cost S$12.60.

Upon trying, I realise that it does not taste so good and it is being exaggerated....in fact it is not nice at all, it has so much "fat" pork in it and it's quite "hard"

I think that Kew Brothers Bak Gua is much more nicer. Can't understand other's taste.

Funny memories

This is so funny, I was tidying my house and throwing old books and found this MACPA Advanced Taxation book that I passed to my brother many years ago. I found it in a box and my brother has actually pasted a post it note on it... remarking the book is "Too Tough! No point reading"

I just think my brother is so cute.

Address:
61 Jalan Bangkung, Bukit Bandaraya,
59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Tel : 03-2093 8811

Nice furniture


I went to KLCC and saw this furniture exhibition, I think it is really nice and suits my taste, but will not be realistic to decorate my house like this.

Pizzeria Bella Italia - Nice Authentic Italian Food at SS2, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia


This restaurant serves nice Italian food and I like the pasta sauce, tasty and strong cheese flavour. The price is also reasonable, RM20+ per person for lunch set, which includes drink and soup. The picture does not look so nice as it does not focus on interior of the restaurant.
