You know it’s a bad sign when you arrive on time at the airport but can’t find your check-in counter.
You know it’s a bad sign when, after successfully locating your (unmarked) check-in counter, you are told that the flight is delayed for “about an hour”.
You know it’s a bad sign when, upon reaching the departure gate as printed out in your boarding pass, the doors are closed and the only person in sight is a solitary guard idly watching TV.
You know it’s a bad sign when, after being escorted by that very same guard to the newly assigned gate (with nary a notice in sign), the pre-departure lounge is full of restless passengers but your plane is nowhere in sight.
You know it’s a bad sign when the budget airline that doesn’t serve meals on board starts to distribute free lunches — meager but they’re free — to all passengers.
My only consolation is that I have my MacBook with me and a head bursting with blog post ideas.
I tag you for Around the World in 80 clicks. (I’m probably doing this wrong, but anyway.) Here is my blog: http://jessisscatteredmind.blogspot.com/ and here is the departure lounge for the trip: http://badladies.blogspot.com/2009/03/world-according-to-mom.html. Can’t wait to read your answer!!
Sleepless in KL… I found your site through your win on Pioneer Woman (congrats, by the way!) and I was so excited because I am an American living in Malaysia! I love your pictures and your info. about Malaysia. Look forward to reading more of your stuff!!

ern: i won? i won! i won :D well, ok.. technically i qualified to the next round of the big mama quiz. but it felt nice to beat the odds and somehow make it from the thousands of people who joined. btw thanks for the compliments :) it always feels good when people appreciate what you’re doing. how long have you been living in malaysia?
kg: jakarta to kl.
Errr, i’d probably be fidgeting with my cellphone, looking for answers to my question-loaded mind…
Doesn’t happen everyday, but what a day. I’m also “solved” as long as there’s wifi and laptop/iphone and/or books.
It’s a bad sign if you mistook ETA as ETD. : )
sheng: or playing games on your cellphone? ;)
witsandnuts: e-books too!
