Arriving New York City

We chose Air China which offered the cheapest out of all (RM3871 round journey) with 7 hours and 22 hours transit in Beijing back and forth respectively. The crashing history aside, Air China rated high from myself as not only there was no major delay but the plane departed 5 minutes earlier than the scheduled time for once.

We were flying with airbus to and fro Beijing-KLIA while a 747 airplane for the longer journey to and fro Beijing-New York. Service and food were generally good with the food loaded from KLIA cater as exception.

We flew across arctic and managed to snap some pictures.

Beautifully scenic, aren't they?

Hello from home

Yes I am home. Flew back from New York City, the land of efficiency nearly a week ago with my primary mission completed. I met my mum whom I have been 10 years apart! And she is missed so badly, again.

I miss sleeping by her side, chatting with her till we fell asleep. Wake up smelling my breakfast ready. Miss her nag to put on sunblock or hand cream. Her touch asking if I am tired. I miss walking with her shoulder by shoulder. Her accompany to eat and shop, and how she put on clothes for me in public. Miss the time when I was treated like a kid, where I didn't need to carry heavy stuff but to eat ice-cream. Her hug and laughter that were so sincere. I miss receiving calls asking me where I am, and telling me what she bought and what's for the next day's breakfast. I miss her for checking weather and telling me if I should bring jacket or umbrella. I miss the feeling of having everything got prepared before me. I miss her...

Although it was only for the short 2+ weeks, I am grateful. I am truly blessed to have such great and wonderful mother.


Some other factors of why this trip was made enjoyable:
I was pampered.
Time spent with mum and aunt.
Experienced how my mum's life is like.
Ate all the fruits I want.
Fresh and big and cheap foodstuff.
Cooked and baked.
Met new friends.
Visited places of wonders.
Snapped tonnes of pictures.
And of course, exploring loads of fun with my traveling mate, Ernest!

More pictures will be uploaded soon. Stay tuned!
