My flight was at 00:45. Started from at home at 8:20, everyone was so surprised and questioned, ” Your flight is at 00:45, why are you leaving so early?”. They also quoted that we were well organized. I could do nothing but laugh at myself.We were surprised by the question! Alright, all three of us thought to do something funny before we got into the flight. We said to ourselves that we would keep the right leg in the flight the same time. A bit superstitious, I know! Our friends came to drop us at the airport. We were happy, but Ramiya was a bit tensed. Guess what? she started the questions again, the thing that Vasanth and myself would not like. Good thing was, we answered all her questions (10/10). Good work done by us! I say this because, its too hard to give answers for the questions that she asks.

We did reach the airport in 15 min’s and probably that’s why everyone questioned us. We were not sure where to proceed, we were waiting for few other friends and Felix uncle’s family. At last we were standing just in front of the counter and the sign said, open for checking for flight No. MH 128. Oh! it was good feeling. I breathed deeply, and walked towards the counter. There was a long queue, we were a bit surprised. The officer in the counter said, “Next, Thanks!”. Of course, it was us. We went to him and said, ” Hi, how are ya?”. Looking at each other face with the obvious question ” What’s going to happen?” As always things went right, but we had to wait for 20 min’s. Everything done! we saw Felix sir and Mam, we had a long chat with them before we left for customs. Muthu, Waletrs, Deepan, Jyo, Minto and Terry wished us a safe journey. With blessings from Felix sir and Mam we left for customs check. It was a long queue, thought it would be late to get inside. It was just a bluff and we were out of the customs check in 15 min’s. We had an hour left to board the flight. We, waited and the green lights for the flight call started to flash. The announcement to board was heard loud and clear. We walked down the way to board the flight. There was a hush and then, “Wait, we’ll put our right legs together!” and it did happen. We did what we wanted to. Apparently, there was a problem, Who should sit by the window? Guess who won the battle, it was Vasanth. Ramiya was so generous to give the seat with one condition, On her way back to India from KL she must be given the seat. Okay! fair enough, we agreed to it.

Then all three of us started to feel hungry, we were waiting to see if they would serve something for us. After few minutes we had a chicken baguette and some orange juice. We felt a bit energetic. Vasanth and Ramiya started to fiddle their remote to watch the movie, it did not work. They took mine and tested to see, it didn’t work either. We left it back in its place. Just after few minutes there was an announcement, “The entertainment system is turned on ” Ramiya and Vasanth started to see if it was working. Unfortunately, it was not. They tried on mine, but it wouldn’t work. Something was wrong, we called up the air hostess to check what happened, she also said “We have to reset the system again”. They fixed the system and started to work again.

It was a long journey, at half past one, i fell asleep, meanwhile Ramiya and Vasanth were still watching the movie.  I was really feeling uncomfortable with my long legs and was cramping. With my eyes half open, i had a glimpse of the movies Ramiya and Vasanth were watching, and at some point of the journey, i presume they fell asleep. That was good news. Few hours later, the air hostess came near and woke us giving a piece of tissue paper to refresh ourselves. Looked at the time and it was 3.30 and just a hour left to land Malaysia. Felt happy but were starting to get tiered. We had chicken sausage and orange juice for the morning. Was a bit refreshing but was not enough.  It’s 4.45 am and time to land.
