Istanbul Trip - Day 1


As u ols semua tahu, mek kan baru balik Istanbul trip two days ago. Mek pi atas urusan kerej la u ols; escorting my VIP clients. At the same time, mek memang nak kena jumpa counter-part agent mek in Istanbul. Memula tak budget nak pi pon, tapi last² minute, bigbossdaddy suruh mek pi jugak. So mek pong, hapo lagi – pi sajork! Katanya sponsored trip. Hahahaha! So ikutilah catatan harian mek dari Day 1 sampai lah ke Day 7 sekembalinya mek ke Alor Star. Mrasa!!!

Day 1: 11th April, 2006

Belle picked me up from Volk’s place at around 8pm cam tu la lebey kureng. Potpet sana potpet sinik, 8.30pm baru gerak pi KLIA. Volks dinch ikut, so kaedahnye mek bye bye dengan dia kat umah dia sajork. So off me and Belle went dalam jeepnya itiew ke KLIA. Dalam kerets, aiyoh! Sambung potpet potpet lagi katanya. Had some few good laughs though dengan makcik itiew. Opps! Biase la, org pepempoannn... gossip sajork kejenye. Hiks!

And after like, 45mins, sampai lah ke KLIA itiew. Belle parked the car, and then ikut teman mek pi check in katanya. Sampai jer level departure tu, nengok la board besau tu, nak nengok counter mano Emirates bukak for checkin’ in. Alih² ade pulak tulisnya ginik...

Flt. No.: EK352
Destination: Dubai
Dep.: 0055
Counter: M
Remarks: Delayed

Hanjeng sangat! Delay katanya. Owh well, delayed pong, delayed lah kaedahnye. Must be delayed sejam dua. So me and Belle pon berlenggang mak limah la dengan beg² mek itiew ke counter/ lane M; the last counter/ lane yang ado itiew, paling hujung katanya. Sesampai jer mek ke lane itiew, ade la sekerat dua peeps yang already queuing for check-in. Tapi mrasalah mek check-in kat lane Business Class katanya, so mek the first pax yang ado. Why Business Class? Biase jer – sebab my clients 4 org tu semuanya naik Business Class, so mek pong tompang lah sekaki. Tapi depa tak mai lagi. Mek sms them suruh tunggu sat, biaq mek check dulu delayed sampai kul brapa. Tgk lah kat screen tu, just nak double check. Tetap, sama also. Katanya DELAYED, DITUNDA to be precise. So since mek nampak ade staff KLAS (KL Airport Services) kat sitiew yang mek assumed will be doin’ the work for Emirates itiew, mek pon pi la tanya, nak dapatkan kepastian.

"Delayed sampai kul brapa ek?"

"Kapal ade technical problems in Dubai – so now estimate time of arrival in KUL would be at 5.20am, and ETD (estimated time of departure) now will be at 6.50am..."

Waktu nih dosi ramai dah queue kat counter M tu, semua, both kat EY and Business Class lanes

NAH!!! Hamek kau! Sejam dua la delayed? Kaedahnye – 6 jam delayed sundal! "There goes my long transit in Dubai; there goes my outing ke Dubai city area esok pagi! There goes the plan nak shopping kat Dubai! Hanjeng!!!" tu jer mek kept on saying dalam hati. Sentap sangat! MRASA LAH terus DQ dan sentap! Haiyohhh!!! What a wayyy to start off my trip! Mek hangen sangat! Namun hangen² mek pon, terpaksa mek cakap kat clients mek, the so called ‘bad news’ itiew. Pon begitiew, mek tetap suruh depa mai KLIA jugak – sebab Emirates nak the pax all to check-in as per normal. So sementara nak tunggu clients mek sampai, mek dan Belle pi lah bersantapan dulu katanya. Elok laaa sangat... sentap jer, MAKAN. Sentap jer, MAKAN – mrasalah naik bentat balik aku cam nih! Hehehehe...

And so Belle ngan mek pi la makan kat this one restaurant/ café kat level departure tu (malas aku nak turun ke Garden Café level 3 itiew!). Makanannye, SEDEH! Sangat sedey dan sangatlah cikhals! Tapi tetap nih melantak jugak – nak buat cam mano, lapaq, dan sentap! Hehehe... Dan also nak buang masa siket. Giler tu, 6 hours ++ tu!

Lepas dosi habis makan semua, mek suruh si Belle itiew balik dulu la. Kesian pulak nak suruh dia tunggu sampai ke pagi kang. Hehehe... kang keje dia ke mana, anak dia si Adam itiew pong ke mana... KAN? So mrasalah mek bye bye dengan dia. Tapi mek tak pulak hantaq dia sampai ke level 3 tu. Mek bye bye dengan dia kat lift level 5 tu sajork. Hehehe...

And then, erm, ape mek buat ek? Japs – owh yes, mek pi skomming cirigette katanya while waiting for my VIP clients to arrive. And lepas tu, bile diaorang dosi arrived, THEN baru mek pi check-in kesemua 4 pax’s bags and also mine. Emirates requires the pax to check-in as per normal kaedahnye, so terpaksa lah. Kesian clients mek itiew. Kalau semua adults mek rase tak po. Ini ado 2 adults jer, the parents. And then depa bawak 2 kids, a 10 and a 6 years old. Kesian la kalau delay² cam gini, kalo ade bebudak. But, what to do, terpaksa maaa... So lepas dah habis check-in bagai semua, all five of us proceed ke Pan Pacific; Emirates provided the accommodation al kesah. Mek amik 2 rooms for my guests, side by side, and then one room for mek, tapi not on the same level. Tarkik la. Janji mek ado kat situ, just in case kalau depa nak pa per. Tapi lepas checked in, masuk bilik semua, all yang my VIP client tu nak was... "Karang you just make a wake up call for me and my family yer..." Mek ok sajork. Mek double checked, Pan Pac tu pun ado buat wake up call dah, set by Emirates. Maybe this client of mine, just nak second wake up call kot. Mrasalah mek kejutkan depa 10 minutes lepas the hotel’s wake up call itiew...
