Flying with Nuri
Friday, August 22nd, 2008
This was the first time I used the fully open new Kota KInabalu International Airport. It is kind of like a mini KLIA. All facilities are new but the check-in counter number only shown on the TV screen on top of the counter. Toilet is still clean but definitely wet, which I hate! Unlike Hong Kong International Airport, I always see cleaning ladies in the toilet, wiping the floor dry and refilling tissue, even the wash basin also dry! I really salute them.
We had a bumpy ride and has been warned that there might have strong wind in Hong Kong in the afternoon. Thanks to my sinus medicine and pump, I had no headache at all, thus I had a smooth ride on board.
The boys were being goodie-goodie this time, didn’t walk around the aisle, finished off their food, especially little Mer. He finished his fish with potatoes and carrot till his pack is shinning clean!
After that was nap time for all. The plane wasn’t totally full, thus there are still some empty seats that I can let Mer all stretch out when he sleep. So I’ve found him two empty seats to lay him down, without know that I’ve actually did something against the safety rule on board. No on say anything during the nap time, not even the stewardess who passed by Mer several times. When we almost landing, then only the stewardess told me children are not allow to sit there, but he was sleeping! *Grin* So I had to move him back and let him laid beside me, at that point, Cal has already woke up.
Initially I was worried that there will be Typhoon signal 3 in Hong Kong, thank God that we have clear sky with no wind and rain when we touched down. It is hot though.
Last night we had been warned that there might have even stronger wind today and the authority has given out signal 8 warning from 5am this morning. According to the weather broadcast, Typhoon Nuri is visiting Hong Kong or maybe passing by, but it will definitely hit Hong Kong. No shop will be open when signal 8 is up, street should be clear of people and all flights are being cancelled for today.
Hubby is already up to Shenzhen. Don’t think he would be able to come here again tonight with Typhoon Nuri still around.
If anyone would like to do any purchase at the moment, it will just only be online purchasing activity, and maybe authorize.net could come into help. *wink*
