If you follow me on Instagram, you know I had a wonderful Hens / Girls trip 2 weeks ago!
I thought I am a girl who can guess everything (well most of the time I spoil my own surprise haha)
But this time, my friend Cecile did an awesome job messing around with my head!
She lied so many times I think she is going nuts! hahaha
But I am really thankful to my friends who came to this trip eventhough they have a busy schedule.

 

On the 9th of May Friday, Cecile and her hubby picked me up from home at 4am in the morning and head to the airport. We checked in and had coffee at Dome. At that time, I know where I am heading because Cecile have told me weeks before that I will be in KL for a night and asked me to plan for it as I am familiar with KL. So I was looking forward for my 1 day in KL!


Air Asia Nasi Lemak not as good as last time anymore...??

I have planned for a shopping spree in Sunway, then Steamboat at Fat One, then go to my friend's grand opening of her cafe!

Oh so excited! 1 day in KL and I don't know where I'm going after that! Woohoo!!

Okay back to the airport.
After coffee, me and Cecile go through custom and bla bla bla.. normal process.. then we met a Japanese woman struggling with filling up her passenger form. She can't speak or understand English. So I thought I can help her a bit. As a Japan Fanatic me... I try so hard to speak to her but fail so badddddd... I have forgotten every single thing that I learned from Japanese Class!!! OMG kidd you not.. I can't communicate with her at all.. and I have to use google translate. What a shame.

After filling up the forms, we asked her to follow us since we are going to take the same flight.
Fast forward .. Touched down at the spanking new KLIA2.  YES.. very NEW very CLEAN very HUGEEEEE.. because of our speed of walking (slow and talking to the japanese woman), we took nearly 30 to 40 minutes to get to the luggage area.

After getting our luggage, we asked the Japanese woman what time is her next flight to Nagoya. She showed us the time.. 12am the next morning. I was shocked! That time when we were with her was 1.30pm and where is she going to go and wait? The new airport lounge is not ready, not many place for people to rest and she can't speak english! I was hell worry.

We ended up asking for help from the people who carry the "ASK ME" sign.
Explained the situation to the ASK ME girl, she guided us to information counter. Explained the situation again to the lady at the counter, she asked her to go to luggage locker area. Go to Luggage locker area, they ask me to go to the X counter upstairs. Honestly.. they are not helping us at all.. I was frustrated. I find no answer from them.

I feel so bad for the Japanese woman, don't know whats going on, lugging such big luggage, going round and round. I did explained to her everything but I think she was just confused.

So we finally went upstairs and look for the X counter. Before I got there, I found a Air Asia guy chatting with 3 aunties! I try my luck, and thought, this guy looks helpful! I interrupted them (this is like after 1 and half hours running around in the airport. I am sweaty and panting!
I asked the guy if he can help us. Explained to him the situation and he ask nothing and confidently said: Don't worry, leave her to me. I will bring her to the X counter and settle it.

Honestly I was shocked and relieved at the same time! I finally found a person who can help the woman!  I double checked with him if he can speak Japanese because she can't speak English. He assure me that he will find a air hostess who can speak Japanese to help her.

Thank youuuuuuuuuu whoever you are!!! I forgot to get his name!!! If you see my blog (which I doubt hahahaha) please let me know! I wanna send an email to Tony Fernandez and praise you!

By the time I get out of the building and waiting for the taxi is already 3.30pm. Me and Cecile felt like we gone through a freaking marathon! Tired and waited taxi for 30 minutes. :(



But finally.. we got to the hotel, wash up, rest a bit and ready for 1hour shopping! LOL
Not bad.. we managed to go to Daiso (bought quite a bit) and Cecile found nice clothes in Zara and bought tea from TWG. haha Shopping Marathon

Then we rushed to the entrance and my friend Cindy came to pick us up. Feel sorry for her because it was heavy rain that day and have a terrible traffic jam! She was stuck for an hour!
Not only that, my friend Wun went to the steamboat restaurant earlier to get a table for us too.
Ahhhhhh Thank you so much my friendssssss




Coincidently, my friend Chelmen opened a cafe it was her opening day when I arrived! I was really happy that I can go there and support them and visit their cafe! So happy for her!  I was tempted to stay in KL and ask her to hire me to work there as a pastry chef LOL!!!



If you lived in KL, please go and try it out! Here is their facebook page :) Witty and Oaky
Cute cafe and good coffee! They sometimes hold some DIY event too! Go check it out!

Ops!! I have actually stopped writing here and gotten lazy!!! Okay.. today is actually July 30th and I will continue to write this. I'm going to write whatever I can remember so that I can look back at this trip when I'm old hahaha


Now, next day morning, we woke up at 8am to walk across the road to Ming Thien to have breakky. I miss this place!! It used to be my hang out place with my college mates! Zhap fan, Gai Si Hor fun oh mai gowd so yummy!!

Unfortunately I can't have any of those because it's too early! haha so we had a little dimsum instead.

When we got there, Cecile and I was standing in front of the Departure and Arrival Board. I was like thinking we are sure going somewhere beachy like Phuket or Krabi, or even Penang because one of our friend was there that time.

So she told me, look at 1.20pm flight. I was screening through the departure time and I was like.. BRUNEI?????? My eyes are quite small but I'm pretty sure that time my eyes open like 10x bigger! We are going to see our friend Mira!!! OMG it's been so long since we last see each other! 4-5 years I think. I am excited! Normally I can guess surprises quite easily but this one, she did well! ahhahaah Good job Cecile!! You not only surprised me but you shocked me as well!
