24 hrs transit
The flight has lasted for about 11 hrs.
Now, I'm in KLIA waiting for my next flight.
I've been in-transit for 24 hrs.
24 hrs!!! That's a hell of a long time.
But, I like KLIA. So, I don't really mind it.
It's a nice place to transit.
In the meantime, it has dawned upon me that, I have indeed been missing all this.
I have missed:
- that gnawing impatience while counting down the hours, minutes and seoonds for check-in time, boarding time and departure time
- the trepidation of being mistakenly identified as a terrorist
- that short adrenalin burst during take-off
- my stomach tightening in knots during turbulence
- the fascination of the 10-year old within me for about anything that may be happening outside the window
- the epic back and butt pains that come with a 7-11+ hrs flight
- being sanwiched in a cramped environment that stales of air-refreshners and unwashed bodies
- the endless waiting
I have missed all that.
And by God, I'm enjoying having these feelings again!
It's like I'm alive again...lol
