Today I fly back to my hometown Kuching on Malaysian Borneo to spend time with family. But I had some time to kill before my afternoon flight.
Staying in Kowloon, I had to take the Star Ferry to collected my luggage left at Novotel on the other side of Hong Kong harbour. The ferry is always a pleasure. After some shopping, I made my way to the airport. At the Plaza Premium Lounge, the food had a sign “Food not prepared to Kosher method”. Then I looked out the window and saw an El Al aircraft. So, i guess that airline uses this lounge for the premium passengers.
My flight to Kuching was a same-plane Boeing 737 via Kota Kinabalu. It did require me to disembark briefly during the transit.
I’m back in Kuching for Mum’s 80th birthday … there’s no computer in the house so internet is only available at an internet cafe (which is too troublesome). I look forward to Sanaa where I’ll at least have slow internet.
I didn’t do much eating out this time. There was a patch when it rain for three days solid plus half a day on the fourth! That’s the landas or wet season in Sarawak! Didn’t go out much during that time. Instead, I did some house work … there’s white powdery mould on many surfaces due to the 90% humidity . Plus lots of swimming since it is already wet.
Mum’s birthday dinner went without a hitch, having been organised by my brother and sister-in-law. It was a small affair by Kuching standards with an invitation list very exclusively limited to about 60 guests … mainly relatives and very few friends.
