November 17, 2010; Air Asia; Jakarta - Kuala Lumpur (15.10 - 18.10 local time)
This is my first flight abroad. The plane took-off smoothly, i didn’t feel nauseous like i used to when travel by plane. By now, I think we are above Riau province. I can see the big rivers and little islands scattered across the coast. I like the view here from the top.
I don’t know how long has the flight been since my phones were off (i should have just put them on flight mode). Uh wait, my iPod’s still on. 4.25 PM. I’ve been an hour and 15 minutes up in the air. Time’s flying, eh? :D
Wait a minute, I’ll be right back. The flight attendant says something. I can barely hear nor understand what she is saying. My ears are buzzing. I’ll keep in touch.

Well, the plane’s dropping since we’re now above Malaysia and the weather’s not that good. I can see shady cumulonimbus from the window. I think it’s raining outside. The pilot asked us to fasten our seatbelt. There’s a lot of shaking and rumbling sounds on the plane.
I wish it won’t take long till the sky is clear again.
Write you soon.

Now the nauseating feeling comes. We’re landing. GOD. The muscles around my neck are burning and my ears still buzzing. I’m in pain. Feels like the muscles are going to explode. Really hurts. Writing about it helps me relax a little bit.

The landing wasn’t smooth. The track is wet but the sky is clear now. The pain in my neck is gone, still my ears are buzzing. I’m deaf. The plane is going to stop in a moment. I’m going to phone my family then take a bus to the Central Station -waiting for Imat and his friend.
Hello, Malaysia!
