Perhentian #2 - Blur sotong

Tuesday, August 03, 2004
Unbelievable. It was only 6.15 a.m. and the airport was bustling with people. Per Wombat's directions, we were to collect our boarding passes at one of the Row A counters.

"So, Evelyn, what's our destination? Kuala Terengganu or Kota Bharu?"
"I dunno-lah."
"Walao. Wombat didn't say? Ok ok, what about departure time? KT is at 7.40 a.m. and KB at 7.50 a.m. If we know the time at least we know which counter to go to."
"Errrr..."
Long pause. More and more people getting into the queue line. BOTH destinations.

Winnie spoke. "I know we can go to Perhentian from both KT and KB."

post script: At this point I wanted to either (i) laugh out loud at our blur-ness; (ii) ram Winnie up the luggage chute; (iii) shove the trolley (on board: 2 bags, 1 kid) beside me up the conveyor belt.

Great mind was churning hard. Analysing the situation. Rationalising the conclusion. We were asked to reach the airport by 6.15 a.m. Domestic flight. Checking-in should be done an hour ahead. No flight at 7.15 a.m. Closest time of departure was 7.40 a.m. to Kuala Terengganu. Bingo. Peanuts. I was about to announce the obvious conclusion to my 2 other blur travel mates when...

"Hey girls, I called Wombat again and she said we're taking the Kota Bharu flight. We're supposed to produce this code to redeem our passes. Jess, Winnie, gimme your IC. Errr, Jess, you wanna say something?"

"Uhhh...Yar... Let's go McDonald's for breakfast?"
