Synopsis:
I didnt sleep much last nite as i went to watch 生日快乐 nite movie and did last minute packing. Woke up around 5am to make sure everything is in order. Checked my mails, set my out of office reply, chat with my frens in US and listen to music.

My housemates bade me goodbye as i will only see them in 9months time. They are going to oversea for long term assignment.

BL & I checked in in Penang Airport around 08:30am. I met 3 colleagues from my company. 2 of them work together with me in same projects 3years ago. Happy for them as they are going to Chandler for 1 week assignment.

While waiting for boarding, BL re-assessed the daily plan for this trip. I was only playing with my camera and snapping photo.

As usual, SIA served the wrap-up food like crepe with meat. It is much better than what MAS can offer.

While in Changi airport, I snapped some photo of the kooi pond. Managed to snap 9 kooi in a pic.

We spent our time mostly in the iconnect area at the 3rd flr to connect to internet. What else we can do to waste 7hrs while waiting for the next connecting flight. I read news, msg friends and did my office work. I let BL use my laptop as his laptop's having 'blue screen' sickness. So i walked around and get some water from the water dispenser.
I saw this shop at Changi Airport at the 3rd floor near the i-connect that really have a catchy sign board. My mind having a wild though after reading the sign board. Maybe there are shops like YOUR HEAD psychology, or YOUR ASS slimming centre.. Who knows. World is full of unexpected things.
We reached Bangkok International Airport around 21:30. The airport seems like just having renovation. Certainly i feel, this airport is much better than KLIA.But one thing for sure. You wont want to drink the water from the water dispenser. You can try it if you eager to know the reason. I think you are smart enough to know the answer. We continue our journey to Kansai for 6hrs. I was sitting alone comfortly on the 3 seats-right side of the plane. I manage to watch 2 movies and listen to few musics.

Once the plane landed and docked to the tarmac, all the passenger take their luggages from the overhead compartment. I was the only one wearing thin T-shirt. Seems like every 'EYES' are pointing at my direction like a sharp shooter aiming at enemy. One of the Japanese passenger asked and uttered something to me. Something like "anata samui desu ka?". I dont know how to reply to her but we use sign language, trying hard to tell her that i left my jacket in my check in luggage. By this time, i still feeling warm from my 2 glasses of red wine.

As we walk out the plane, the chilling effect slowly creeps into my bones. Ah ha..now i know how cold it is. But anyway, i got my luggage and wore those bulky winter jacket in no time. We cleared the immigration check point and walked into the Kansai Airport area.
