delay

delay (rev)
let me share u a joke ppl.. one which'd make u think laughter is nt all the rite word for any joke.

on any normal flight day, u haf tis one wit who's supposed to board a plane, fly off and enjoy nonetheless, with no implication at all until u actually stepfoot on solid ground. but tis one is nt a story abt a post take-off.. its a story of a no take-off.

nothing can beat anticipation as the word of the day for tis lad.. excitement.. anticipation.. harmony.. i knw its just a normal departure.. bt u shud knw wt its like wen u're abt to take off, shn't you? esp aft all tse relentless tasks of having to complete pepworks just to make it on time.. yes! finally u get to fly off b4 the set date and who knws.. wt can happen on one fine day..

jubilantly he tght wt courtesy. all his frens came to send him off. he cud imagine a scenario after check-in.. in an airport rest with culinaries on the table, smiles n chats arnd a fam-fren gather.. with nothn else suckd but just tme to kill. he cud imagine waves as he went on to enter the terminal.. fly off.. gadgets to play, meals to dwell upon.. n on a soothy nite of arrival, as all his other 11 mates gather: yes! yes! we finally arrivd as one. and nt to mention a solemn nite of taxi ride with sharon back to our birdhole and all the usual sweet tghts. who knows.. wt can happen?

i missed the flight. my visa was unable to get thru due to recent renewal of passport. all is well in an airport, except for a counter who had to close the booth just for me. the new biodata is telefaxd, reply is sorted but one is diff.. the end result. the delay ruled me out of seats. i was given $200 for compensation, upgraded to business class just to fly the next day and arrive on the morning of orientation.

haha.. wt life.. i almost fell literally when i heard the news. i wonder if its a good or bad thng.. its nt even their fault and i earned bucks of ipod potential. i missed informing aus abt tis and wud i blame sharon 4 enquiring abt tyng's commotion with a similar sit, just only to get a reply of being 'kaypo'. life..

i bid my frens goodbye and i doubt they'd send me off again.. :p hw cool is it when they actually prayed so tt i won't go tonite.. =s and my mom wud simmer sea cucumbers on tme as it wasn't ready the day b4. 'good also u dun go today.. worth it!' and with sme other positive remarks frm fren parents, 'good ah.. u can sleep so sound in flight.. business class.. no worry.' and u knw hw much i actually love my life.. :)
