For an oversea student, airport can be the most loveable place and 'I-hate-this-place-so-much-I-can-burn-it-down-right-now' at the same time. It all depends on the timing. If you're coming back to your homeland, or traveling for holiday,it's the best place ever. But if you're going back to your university/campus/college I swear you'll hope someone blow up that place. Hey, don't you dare to say that out loud. Especially at the airport. Surely you'll get arrested. Use your creativity somewhere else.
For me, I always love airport. It's an amazing place. Magica! How is that?
- You can travel the world in one place
Here,you dont need 80 days to round the world. You just need few hours. This way,the world will come at you. Isn't it amazing how people from various countries from all around the world collected at the same place? Simply amazing. As for me, I love watching people. Seronok sebenarnya tengok gelagat manusia ni. Tambah tambah lagi orang luar negara yang berlainan budaya,bahasa, memanglah menjadi mangsa mata ini untuk ditenung. But I do have 1 problem about this. My housemates said aku ni kalau tenung orang tak reti nak cover. tenung sampai tembus. Tenung sampai orang yang aku tenung tu tak senang duduk. 'PRANGG!!' *bunyi kaca pecah* All this while, I thought I was an excellent stalker. Never get caught! It turns out I'm an obvious stalker. Kebenarannya terbukti apabila 2 hari lepas di Airport Abu Dhabi, di Burger King, tiba tiba Anati cakap "Haaaa... Kak Intan, saya tau Kak Intan pandang apa" Lantas dia melirikkan mata kepada mat salleh berbaju putih di sebelah kami. Cisss!! Ciss!! Kantoi! Kantoi!! Plus, I have a weird interest towards people outside asia. That makes my parents worry. Real worry. Takut aku kawen dengan orang luar negara, and nanti aku tinggal luar negara taknak balik balik Malaysia. 'Cukuplah abah lepaskan anak abah belajar kat mesir 6 tahun.' Abah guna ayat touching. Tak aci.

Eh, apa benda kat screen tu? |
2. Toilet
Why toilet? I love airport's toilet. Big, clean, and......... wangi!! Selesa nak selesaikan urusan urusan kecil and mahupun besar. If you know what I mean kan.. And, after a long tireful journey, you surely wanna cleanup a little bit and get fresh right? All you need is a clean comfortable rest room. It's exciting to check all the facilities in airport's toilet you know.. Automatic this and automatic there..
But I have this 1 bitter memory about airport's toilet. If I'm not mistaken, it was a transit in Dubai. Group of old ladies from Indonesia using toilet. But since the technologies were exagerated they didn't really know how to use it. Air terpancut pancut. Lepas tu toilet bowl tak flush. Because everything was pretty much automatic. Teriuh rendah la sekejap mereka di dalam toilet itu. Datang cleaner toilet marah marah those ladies. Teruk tau. Bahasa pun boleh tahan. "Hello, turn off the water! Why you use it like that? What? You dont't know how to use toilet? What? How come you dont know how to flush the bowl? Where are you from? Now I have to clean all this! Turn it off! Turn it off!"

Haritu Faz ajak melawat shower room. =.=" |
At that time I was putting on my eyeliner. Panasnya hati ni dengar. Orang tu dah tua tua kot. Tercengang cengang je diorang. Senyum je diorang tahan malu. Ramai orang dalam toilet tu! Geramnya aku tengok! What was her right to use that tone of voice to a tourist? Dalam hati sebenarnya dah merangka rangka ayat nak marahkan cleaner tu,siap nak panggil manager dia lagi. Belum sempat karang ayat,dia dah keluar. From that moment on, I swore if I ever face that kind of situation, I'll scold the rude people real nice. Tak payah rangka rangka ayat,ikut apa keluar mulut je nanti.
3. Snowball
|
Half of my collection. |
I love snowball. I collect them. Each from country I visited. Yang ada trademark negara tu sendirilah of course. So far, I have more than 10. Ala-ala mygirl, but mine, beli sendiri. Sob..sob.. takde siapa yang nak bagi.. Except for my birthday, ramai yang akan bagi snowball. Tapi yang sedihnya, kat Airport Abu Dhabi aritu tiada kutemui snowball. What kind of airport yang takde snowball. Ok,Abu Dhabi memang noob.
4. Gate searching
I don't know why, I have this passion finding the boarding gate. Don't ask me why. Seems like its a fate we always involve in this dramatic scene where we always late, that make us run to the gate. Stare us all you want. We don't care. As long as we don't miss our flight. Never was our intention. Just name it, in India, Europe, KLIA. We can never miss the running for the gate drama. Hindustan la konon.
5. Arrival hall
That feeling.. seeing your family waiting for you at the arriving hall, as you strolling your trolley full of luggage, waving at you,having someone waiting for you.. I can't describe it.
6. Wifi
I don't need to explain it.
That's why I love airport.
