This is the fourth time in the same number of months I am making my way to Geneva. Not that I make a habit of posting something each time I am at the Golden Lounge, but tonight...or today, rather, it is different. I got to Sentral and was told my flight would be delayed ...leaving at 2 am instead of 11.40pm...that's the next day, actually! So I made my way slowwwly to the ERL and went to the money changer, count my chnge slowwwly and ever so slowwwly trudged to Terminal C and the lounge.
Then the long, long wait at the lounge. I had an open sandwich of shrimp and honey mustard, some guava juice...then mango salad, pickles and olives... then ordered a latte while watching all the goings-on around me...till I almost fell asleep.
All the flights have been called, the one to Paris, then to Rome then the one to Frankfurt...then the one to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Buenos Aires...Hey, I've been on this one before, on our way to Santiago Chile...and it was a totally horrible flight because some travel agent screwed our booking and we flew economy AAALLLLthe way...yup, that was the trip that made me experience the life of a contortionist!
Awww...even the flight to Narita, to Soul, to Shanghai have been called...I've even been to the relaxation room which I have never had the time to do before...first the full body massage, then the shiatsu massage...now I am all refreshed and relaxed...but still no flight to London Heathrow.
I really hope this is not the beginning or worse things to come...insyaAllah not...I have been apprehensive since booking this flight...it will be the very first time I am connecting to Geneva through Terminal 5...yup, how many thousand missing baggage and miserable passengers?...really, really hope BA has finally got their act together...teething problems should not last a whole month, right...KLIA did it in less than a month, I think. The Brits should be able to do better...but then again, KLIA is now the best airport in the world...
I think the flight is being called now...better post this and get going...don't want to be famous and have my name announced!
Good to be back on my own page! heheheh!

Salam Bebee,
At the Golden Lounge? Ahem... Geneva?
Ahem, ahem...
Salam Cakapaje,
Sorry to keep you clearing your throat for so long...dah beli ubat batuk ke belum, ni?
Thanks for putting me in your read list, a real honour for me since my write is supposedly apolitical...but do explain what brought on the ahem-ahemming...
Salam again Ma'am,
Well, I've yet to read your posting about Geneva and since I'm rather new here, I was taken by surprise about you going there. I mean, as far as I know, Geneva's a place for high-flyers and jet-setting people. Ok, that would include world conventions and what not, as well as one of the places where rich people stash their money. Reading back at what I just wrote, I suddenly feel so very teenie weenie, if you know what I mean. Which in the first place why I ahem ahem...er, dah makan hacks :)
