Over the years, I have flown many a times, both locally and oversea. One that I remember particularly well was when I took a 7.30am flight to Penang from KLIA. On reaching Penang, I rented a car and went about my business. By 11 am I was done. Not knowing where to go or what to do, I drove back to the airport, hoping there's an immediate flight to KLIA . I was in luck as there was one at 1 pm and what a surprised. It was the same plane that I took earlier in the morning and need I say, the same crew! They were as surprised as me!
Another time I was flying to Pekan Baru in Indonesia for a business meeting. I was supposed to go with a friend but unfortunately at the airport, this friend was stopped from going because his passport had less than 6 months before expiring. I ended up going alone. The problem was this friend was the contact person for our Indonesian counterpart! Nevertheless, I plodded on.
That was almost a repeat of what happened to me one year earlier. This time, a friend got his bag stolen at the airport. As a result, his passport and money were gone and off course, he couldn't go. We were going to Manila for a sale presentation and he was the technical expert. Nevertheless, I plodded on.
In Paka, Trengganu, I was late leaving for the airport in K.Trengganu, more than 100 miles away. Throwing caution to the wind,I drove at breakneck speed, not wanting to miss the only available flight to KL for the day. I made it just in time only to be told that the flight has been delayed a few hours. If only I had known, I wouldn't have risked my life driving so fast.
