-applied basic make up like foundation, loose powder and blusher as well as lip gloss so that you don't end up with zombie look
-prepare small change for ERL Ticket and catch 6.20am train no later than that otherwise you have to terkedek-kedek cari gate at the airport
-remember to bring along your camera or your handphone will do
-At the airport: if you already check in at the counter or online, proceed to your gate and if you still have some spare time, browse for interesting book, good to kill the time for two and a half hour journey..at least half of the book can be finished from a single trip
-Otherwise just walk slowly and feast your eyes with candies, chocolates and perfumes along the way to your destination- the gate!
-View at KLIA at 7.00am before boarding to Tawau...snap some photo while waiting for your turn to board the plane
Things to do onboard:
-switch off your electronic devices and set your handphone to offline mode, this way you could still take some photo incase you forgot your D90 or D5000 or whatever model you have
-While waiting for your juice or plain water on board, enjoy the view if you can't sleep or read..or applied your make-up, the finishing part:eyeshadow,eyeliner,mascara..don't forget to praise Him for those breathtaking view...
-Remember the scene from English Patient..?-If you seat by the window snap as many photos as you can, watch the cloud formation,the blue sky and mountains and the sea from above but choose your seat wisely..row no. 5-8 are okay..I always avoid row no. 10-16, row no.22-25..
-I always check in online for return trip and choose my seat by the window but if I have to rush then, I'll choose isle
-Breakfast will be serve by this time, they normally have nasi lemak, murtabak or roti canai..I always opted for murtabak which is small but thick and nasi lemak, but hate the anchovies...while you enjoy your meal, look outside coz the fluffy white clouds keep on changing their form
-You are full and not sleepy and flipping thru The Star or Utusan Malaysia..BUT please don't flip and slap the paper..its annoying..it happen to me few times, I don't know what are their problem, but these guys keep on doing that flipping and slapping loudly...
-Its been almost 2 hours plus and you could see Tawau with its green and hilly area..to avoid pressure in your ear, you can chew gums or sweets...-Pilot announced for landing..
-You can tell that if in few minutes time the plane will touch down but the aircraft is still gliding..then the touch down will be a little bit bumpy and worst it might sway aside ..I've experience that moment few times at Sandakan, KL and Tawau
Things to do when you arrived at your destination: Tawau:
-Snap a photo of the airport..as usual..and don't ask a person next to you to hurried..relax..
