There you go, 13 Hours of Flight

Date: 16 September 2011

Where: In the plane
What: From Malaysia to Glasgow

After my 13hours of flight, i am officially step on the the land of Scotland. We have a short break transfer at Dubai, it takes about 3hours, but for me, I feel like it takes only 1 hour, because once we sat down then we have to be ready to depart already. Dont even have time to shop around in the Dubai International Airport, so sad. :(

#1 This is one of the meal i ate in the air plane.It provides Mars chocolate bar!! So high class, haha.. Besides, they provide bun for every single meal, of cause come with my favourite butter. :D In conclusion, i think i ate about 7 butter cream during the whole flight! OMG~~ Calories calories.. =.= 

 #2 One of the dessert, it looks so creamy but eventually it was still ok. I love the mixture with the topping and the some berry jam under it. It's nice! :)

#3 Two girls with their messy hair, Peiling on the left and i on the right. Sleep throughout the flight except eating time. LOL. I even sleep while i watching movie provided by Emirates. > < Im just too sleepy.

#4 The dish, curry chicken. Yohoo! But dont expect much la, not very spicy. Hehe. Overall rating, not bad, eat-able. Haha.. 

#5 The thing that shocked me the most. They dont have Jay Chou's song on the plane. How cant they, OMG!! This is the song lists of David Tao. So unfair, they have David Tao but not Jay Chou. Geramnya.
