DEATH CAME WITH THE WIND

I didn't get to push my brother off the helicopter, unfortunately.

This year, Dad's company didn't let us ride the heli to Langkawi Island because they want to save costs this year. To tell you the truth, I suspect the real reason is that Dad is scared of heights. We had to take the ferry instead. Major disappointment.

Ferries. I hate ferries.

It's not that I'm seasick - I hate having to sit through 2 hours of listening to kids screaming and the passengers yapping and some seasick person barfing into a barf bag and my brother's phone playing the song "Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi" by Flop Poppy everytime his stupid girlfriend rang. Plus, the goddamn kids like to mess with my hair from the back seat and their parents are rude enough to ignore the kids and let them bothering other passengers on the ferry. I want to kill those brats for touching my hair!!!

And the sea is very boring to look at. There's nothing to see but a vast of greenish-blue coloured water stretching around you. The tv on the the ferry wasn't turned on. What good is a tv when you don't watch it? BORING...

The only most exciting thing that happened on the ferry was that a passenger had accidently puked on a bald old man in front of my seat while he was on his way reaching out for a barf bag, which was hung right above the unfortunate man's head.

I suggested Dad that we should sue his company for causing psychological trauma on a youth, namely me, for exposing me to the aforementioned hell. He told me to stop complaining like a girl and take up everything like a man. Great. Maybe Dad doesn't remember who was the one that cried like a girl when his suit got ruined by Mama before they were divorced.

"What have ya done to my Armani, woman?!"

We're staying at the Bayview Hotel. Nice room. It has a sea view.

Turned on the news and got greeted by a sad story. Three parachuters have died while practising their stunts for the LIMA'07 airshow. Two of the victims were female and one was male. The victims were blown off by strong winds from their destined course and were dropped into the middle of the ocean. The parachute jump stunt had to be cancelled and won't be performed throughout the entire event due to strong winds.


May peace be upon those paratroopers' souls.
