on the more mundane--plane

the flight there was like okay.. although i had a lot of thoughts on the way there. for one, i'm sorry to say that but i have concluded i think i love ANA like about 10 times more. for one, i dun think the qantas flight crew were very friendly, and i felt as if they had some sorta racial bias or sth. Sometimes i had to bend down to get sth, and my head kinda sticks out on the aisle, the flight crew just brusquely walk past me and my poor head gets the damage. The ppl around me were not very friendly as well. when i was struggling with some huge cylindrical thing that someone else put on my bag in the baggage carrier, since it was so high and i was obviously not tall enough, there was some guy next to me waiting to take stuff from his bag. He didn't even bother to help, he only pushed it away when it was blocking his bag. super ungentlemanly.

The inflight entertainment wise, ANA was better, and the remotes of qantas were like less user friendly. i took some time to find out how to pause and play the movie..cos it worked different from ANA and there weren't any instructions. the toilet too. i was standing there putting my hand under the tap thinking omg why isn't water coming out then i felt so noobish. in the end i realized u had to press the top and the buttons weren't even obvious at all. =/ the food was nice, some beef curry thingy, i liked the rice. but the menu said spicy vegetables, and what came out was, vegetables. where did the spice go? lol. the dessert was some coconut thing.. it looked dubious but it turned out quite nice. and they had cucumber salad which was like not very nice.

as some ppl might alr know.i freak out taking planes. so yeah i was like trying to not freak out by reading a book that dan gave me called fearless lol. so it took off and everything was like ok for a while.. and the seatbelt sign went off and all. all of a sudden..the plane went into violent turbulence and lurched downward and the pilot immediately P.A.ed for the seatbelts to be on. i felt like i was sitting at some theme ride tower drop and i totally freaked out. the first 2 things i did was grab onto the first thing i could grab with both hands. thankfully, it was the two arm rests on either side of me, and not the random guy's arm next to me. He was quite nice, but we didn't really talk.

all in all, an ok flight, save for the very scary few minutes of random tower-drop turbulence. i shd ask dan to ask his dad why it occurs and the works. so that i feel less insecure and less scared.
