The most awaited day (or rather not?) has finally arrived in dull fashion. Our flight route back to Malaysia consists of transits at San Francisco, Tokyo (Narita), Singapore (Changi) and finally Malaysia (KLIA). By the time me and Dickson arrived at the JFK airport, it was already around 2am in the morning, and it was just unbearable that we immediately settled ourselves on our sweet spots for a good nap. Hours passed and soon I was awake, Dickson still sleeping, and Winson back from Boston, we woke Dickson up from his slumber before collecting our luggage from the storage facility. Before this, Winson also got a call from Damien that he was already waiting at our departure terminal (lol, we actually doubted whether he would have followed us back to Malaysia but guess we were wrong huh? ^^). And so we took the airport's shuttle service to our departure terminal but when we arrived, Damien could never be seen, and so we waited, waited, waited until it was 6am (an hour before our departure time) that we decided to check in and not wait for him. But as we were entering the check in queue, Damien appeared out of the blue to tell us that he had already checked in to his flight, which almost got me boiling (and I'm sure about the rest too). But nonetheless, we checked in to our flight and by the time we arrived at our departure terminal, it wasn't a long wait before we were able to board our plane.
Well, a 5 and a half hour flight ensued which I slept through almost the whole journey (till I didn't remember whether I had any beverages served by the airline or not). Nevertheless, time passed by pretty quickly when I was sleeping, and we arrived at the airport in San Francisco for a reboarding onto a bigger plane. It was just an hour between the time we touched down and reboarding again and by the time we found the terminal of our international departing flight, we were soon required to board the plane again.
The mother of all flights came, and again I slept for most parts of the flight besides during meal times and catching a movie (Narnia). 10 hours turned out not to be that long either and soon we were at the Narita airport. Besides spending much of my time surfing the net and getting myself a decent pair of headphones, there wasn't much else we could do till we board the next plane.
Another 6 hours which I spent doing the same thing (this time watching Kung Fu Panda) and we were at Changi. It was around 11pm that we arrived at Changi and immediately went looking for food after a short rest (it has been close to 7 hours since the last time we had food), and guess what we had? Wantan Mee!!! After our stomach filler, we found a spot where we could settle down and utilise the airport's free WIFI connection. Time passed by pretty quickly while we were busy on our computers and it wasn't long till we had to board the very last flight of our journey back to Malaysia.
A 45 minute flight took place and we were on Malaysian grounds again, the moment we step foot onto the airport grounds, you just can't imagine the feeling we had after an EVENTFUL SUMMER in the US.....
(a summary of this W&T trip to the US may or may not come, depending on whether I feel like writing it or not :))
