23102011 – Almost 20 hours on the air

Time is now 9:15 pm… my roommate aka my senior officer has already peacefully asleep whilst I, well, still pondering of what to do… I would never have thought I could spend seeing day and night on the air, in a plane, and not on the land. The experience brought some stress to my body system that I came with heavy head, mild migraine which afraid it could go worst, forced me to swallow a paracetamol. Since it’s morning time under my normal body clock now, I have not yet felt sleepy. Hmm, what to do eh?

I overslept myself from 5:30pm to 10:30pm (M’sia time) straight on our flight to Buenos Aires (BA). That and for the rest of the flight from MY to CT. Gosh, I forgot when was the last time I fell asleep like a dead log… even my colleagues said I slept the most. But what else there is to do? Movies and dramas provided are not interesting enough for viewing cos I watched most of them already. So, I only watched Nikita for 4 eps, Monte Carlo and The Lost Swordman (halfway).

So, BA for the first timer? Expensive! I restrained myself from being overly irritated with the nicely packaged housing interiors items that originated from China aka Made in China but were sold very expensively here… *roll eyes*

The flea market sellers along this street reminded me of Myeong-dong of Seoul except people here use no tables/stall… they just spread everything on the covered floor. My first feeling when I stepped out of the hotel is a little uncomfortable and scared. I don’t even feel safe taking out my camera for sights shots. Hope tomorrow will be better day for photo shooting.

Unfortunately, my friend and boss who brought their homemade spicy anchovies and canned curry chicken and beef, all of those were confiscated. Even the beef serunding that was in my bag, ordered by our Lead Nego, gone. Haish! Such a waste of money.

So, kalau ada geng yang nak datang sini, packing makanan yg korang masak cam ikan bilis sambal pastu gunakan kotak biskut lama untuk cover it up… rasanyer boleh guna cara tu la… contoh cam brahim tu, buang kotaknya sebab ada tulis ayam daging etc kan? biar jer dalam plastic yang berbungkus aka manufactured packaging. Asalkan tak nampak dalam tupperware/homemade, dia bagi lepas excluding meat products.
