South Africa (Part 1)

Since 27^th of June at 1.05am I took a flight with my mum all the way to South Africa. Yeah! Don’t get the wrong idea. Some of my friends imagined the place to be lack of food, sunny and dry, poor people. Well, it’s so not true. Besides, its winter here you know. Very cold unlike our ‘panas dan lembap sepanjang tahun’. It didn’t snow though. They said that it snowed before. Too bad. The climate here is like in Australia, the sun is out but the wind made the weather freezing cold. The people here are very friendly like in Malaysia.

After landing in the Johannesburg Airport, I was exhausted. I didn’t really have a good sleep. Not because of the minor turbulence but it was because of the games and movies MAS flight had installed for the 10 hours plus trip. It’s typical ME for blaming other factors, other than myself. Well, the food served by MAS was definitely up to standards.

When we boarded the plane, we were given

• warm towel to freshen up

• a pack of peanuts ( nice, I was hungry at that time)

• Supper! ( there were 2 choices, I chose the fish curry and rice)

• Free Flow of plain water and juices

• Breakfast ( Two choices Nasi lemak or western- WESTERN!!)

Fish Curry and Rice – Fish was really nice ( no bones!) & mixed vegetables ( fits in with the meal) Coffee cake ( yummy, I don’t drink coffee but I like this cake) Salad with prawns( I don’t know whether it was raw onot) but I didn’t likie..Adults liked it though.

Sausage and Omelette – Sausage and omelette was nice accompanied by steamed veggie brown. Bread and mixed fruits. YUM! Banana yogurt drink, not really my cup of tea.

Okay, I played Bejewelled like forever. I wanted to compete with someone, but they were either not interested in the game or sleeping. Oh well competed with the computer. I got first and second place. The highest~! BUT! I couldn’t change the name. So, my name became PLAYER. I thought I could leave my name there, see if someone else can beat my very high score! High High Score!! O well..

high scores!!

THE MAS FLIGHT RATING

Service: Okay.
Food: Good.
Flight: Smooth with few minor turbulence.
Facilities: Excellent ( especially the movies and games)

My comment: Overall good, except some forgetful charm that got to the steward. He forgot about my food.

Btw, just for your information, the time at South Africa is 6 hours earlier than the time in Malaysia. So, if in Malaysia, it’s 12 noon at South Africa it’s 6am. The currency is Rand.

Be back on 5th July..xoxo
