At the moment I wrote this, I'm at St James's Park, London. Waiting for the Changing Guard Ceremony at the Buckingham Palace. I don't know how the expressed myself. I don't know how to thank to AirAsia that make my wish come true. I never thought that one day, ONE fine day, that I'll be in London. Oh dear .....it is a wonderful feeling.

I, together with my husband, flew from LCCT to Stansted, London on 19th March, 2009 at 4.20 pm (local time). My heart pounding as this is the first time we will be going to London. Our dream destination. All the way to London, not to mentioned its 14 hours long journey....we had a pleasant journey. We talk, we ate, and we watch movies from the E-player. The E-player helps a lottt. Then, the Captain announced, we will land in Stansted in a few minutes. Once the captain says " we already safely landed in Stansted, London" Oh My God.Oh My God. I'm in London! I'm in London. I asked my husband to pinch me a bit. Just to make sure that I'm not dreaming, and I'm NOT.

We passed the immigration without any hassles. It just go smoothly and nice. The officer, Alan, is so nice and warm. He asked 5 question :-

1) is it your first time in London ?
2) how long you'll be in London?
3) after that what u do ?
4) can i see your return ticket?
5) where will you stay in London?

There. it's done. no worries okay. once we get out from the airport to catch our bus to central London, we freezed. Its so cold. Then by Easybus, we off to Victoria Station.

In London, we walk..walk...walk..and walk again.I think that is the best way to feel like London people. Oh, not to mentioned how sufficient the underground tube and the buses. I did not faced any trouble while in London. The people are so warm. Just asked them how and where to go, and they will explain and show the easiest way. We went to see the changing guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the Big Ben, Tower Bridge, ride the spectacular London Eye, went to Stanford Bridge - Chelsea Stadium, to Camden Town-just to experience the 4 flea markets. Hey...you can get what ever you want in Camden and its cheap too.

Stanford bridge - Chelsea Stadium

For those who crawling for branded item, must not to forget the Oxford Street. It will make your feet screwed up! Trust me. With Selfridges, Primark, Clarkes, Gap and many more. Just prepared your loaded pocket and your credit card as well.

For Muslims, a lot of halal foods in London. There's one at King Cross/St Pancras Station, Leicester Square, Bayswater and others. The food is huge!

Today, is my last day in London. Its quite sad as i have to leave tomorrow morning. I have a lovely stay in London. I love the city. I love the weather. I love St. James's Park.

To AirAsia, Thank You. Thank you so much for making my dreams do come true. Now, I believe, " Everyone Can Fly".

Yesterday was one cool day. Managed to be among the first few to sneak in to Xcalibur after the "London weather simulation". Weather was looking down and people started leaving after waiting in the pouring rain for so long. Definitely not a great way to kick start us ushering in the A340 Xcalibur.

Guess what? A van was deployed and my friends and me snuck up and into Xcalibur. The van continued to make its round while we had a blast just checking out the new airbus.

The XL seats are simply XXXXL. Truly shocking and its been amazing. Compared to the A320s, this is simply fantastic and a beast. There were various stuff to see and it took a while to run the entire length of the plane. Look how much space there is in between the XL seats!

This is captain Nickee preparing for takeoff. All seatbelts on and remember to smile!

Check out the cool entertainment system. Riki was whispering "Use the force!" hahahaha...

We even packed everyone into the front area for a group photo. Thats me right behind Tony.

What was more amazing was when Tony said after the group pic, lets not let the weather beat us and lets huddle outside for photoshots. That was really crazy as we all had a blast taking pics and playing with water on the tarmac. Nothing is gonna beat us not even the "London weather"!

Xcalibur is simply the next step for us. Go AirAsia X!

People have all sorts of fears. Some are afraid of being alone, afraid of water, heights, small spaces, sharp objects, being touched, and many many more.

Being afraid of flying is also one of the common ones. Some are so afraid of it that they would not even go near an aircraft. But some less-serious ones are only afraid in times of TURBULENCE [when the aircraft goes in bumpy conditions when flying through weather conditions].

I was flying to BKI (Kota Kinabalu) one afternoon, and there were three ladies seated at the first row of the starboard [right] side. And during take-off, my crew and I noticed that one of them were already gripping her friend's hand tightly.

Due to heavy rain over Kota Kinabalu International Airport, we were unable to even make an approach, not to mention to land the plane itself. After holding in the air for about an hour, the captain on my flight that day, Captain Lim Khoy Hing, finally announced that we were going to land, and informed us that it was going to be a bumpy ride in the process.

When the cabin was checked and ready, my crew and I took our seats. Then the bumps got slightly worse, but pretty much like a mild roller coaster ride. And the three ladies just started screaming!

The funny thing was, every time the three ladies in the front were screaming, two little kids seated at row 2 would echo with their childish laughter. The rest of us were trying very very hard to not laugh at the kids' innocence, and I meant we were trying VERY hard!

After a few more bumps, Captain Lim did a BEAUTIFUL landing despite the conditions, and he even got a well-deserved clap from the passengers after that successful landing!

Oh well, the big bonus of having an experienced and good captain on board! =D
