Stormy weather

Writing in the flight again. It’s 15 minutes pass 9pm.

Funny how the weather reflects my mood most of the time. It’s slightly stormy tonight, I can see the lightning so clearly outside the window, I always ask for the window seat for short flights such as this. I like watching the runway, as the plane goes faster and faster until it lifted off into the stormy sky. Scary, yet I felt strangely in tune with the weather. As if it’s talking to me.

“It’s stormy and scary, I know. But it’s part of nature, the plane will just have to pass through the stormy cloud. Most of the time, it will be fine. Don’t fret.”

My knee-jerk reaction has always been to say my prayers and imagine the worst thing that could happen. I wouldn’t write it down just now…it’s too scary to even to think about it now as I am still not safely on land.

Got to switch off my laptop, they are starting to serve dinner, I can smell airplane food miles away…hmm..let me rephrase that. I can smell any food from miles away…hehe. I wonder what are they serving tonite.

**********************************

I’ve just had dinner. They had options of fish with rice and chicken with noodle. I chose the latter, fish is never a good idea for plane food. I had food poisoning once due to plane food. It was two years ago when I came back from UK using MAS. They had options of beef with potatoes and salmon pasta. But when it was my turn, they had run out of beef..so I had no choice but to have the salmon pasta. I didn’t mind at all as I love salmon, but I’m never too keen on pasta. Pasta is always my last resort, if there are no other things to eat, then I’ll go for it.

Anyway, after a few hours of reaching Malaysia, I had the most awful tummy ache and my gut contents was pouring out of both ends of my alimentary system(isk..too much information here .I am sorry if anyone is eating when you’re reading this blog..just need to emphasize the seriousness of the situation…:p). I went to the clinic the next day, and the doctor suspected it was a food poisoning due to the fish because I hardly had anything else when I reached Malaysia that time. It went on for about 3 days, and I lost about 2.5 kg mostly due to the dehydration. I was secretly thrilled that I got the food poisoning because it was a speedy way to lost more than 2 kg in three days…haha…(although I am not hoping for another incident…it was horrible).

OK… back to the weather report..hehe. It looks like it’s calming down. Less lightning from where I see it. Just a few sparks of lightning in the distance every now and then. Maybe it is always like this, I don’t know. Maybe the storm is always just at the beginning, as the plane progresses further up in the sky, it will enter the calm zone. The place where it is always calm and peaceful. We don’t always know how the weather at the destination is. Although the modern technologies nowadays enable us to foresee the weather, it can always change. It can always be different from what we expected, it can be worse than we hoped for, but then, it can also be the best weather that we have ever encountered. We can only prepare and hope for the best.

Felt a kick on my seat. Darn. Those two brats sitting behind me are making so much noise they even make the noise from the plane engine sounds like whispers. More kicks..and another and another. What the ****? If I’m the mum of those two I’ll probably strap those tiny kicking feets and give them diazepam or something equal. Haha…evil thoughts. I wonder if I can keep my cool if my children acts like spoilt brats, especially in public. I’m never very good with children, especially toddlers. Little babies I can cope with for a couple of hours, I think…hehe..but toddlers…please oh please get them away from me. Unless they are the type of children that are nice and quiet clever ones..like Matilda in Roald Dahl’s book…hahha…I love that book. Read it a long time ago, now re-reading it (bought a new copy of it two days ago in MPH) dunno why. Missing my youth I suppose. A bit nostalgic. It has been a nostalgic week for me.

The plane is going to land pretty soon. I can feel the plane wobbling again. Hmm..not a good weather out there. Not so good…hmm…and those two brats are kicking my seat more furiously now. Keeping my cool, amazingly…I’m not having any palpitations yet..not clenching my teeth until my temporomandibular joints click like mad..like I always do when I'm stressed out. There goes the announcement.

*********************************

Safely landed, now at home. Everybody's sleeping, but my mind is working overtime as always. Checked my email...hmmm...hmmm...hmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Nah! there you go...a bite of honesty for me *Gulp*

See if I can swallow that.

Heart. Tummy. Butterflies. Flowers. Cliff. Rocky sea. Storm ahead. or is it behind me already?

*to jump or not to jump* *u jump, I jump* comes to mind. There's only one obvious easy choice.

Danger. Alert!Alert!

Damn, where's that memory wipe programme thingy?
