Sir, what are you doing?

So...im back home.
after nearly 28 hours of travellin...matt and i are back home safe and sound...although the flight was at times turbulent and my tv stopped workin after attempts of askin the lady to reset the tv.
altho, no trip like this for me comes without silly stories...the first one came in the lounge area of the aeropuerto:

Gate 30:
so, our flight was scheduled to fly at around 5:30pm with 5:00pm as the boardin time which was fair enough...matt and i arrived at bout 1pm so we had ample time to check in and sit on our butts waitin for time to pass.fortunately,there were tvs showin the italy v ukraine match so it wasnt as bad...we sat to watch it hopin they'd show the england match which started at 4pm..this way, we'd get at least the first half before boarding...come 4pm, the match came on! woot...so watchin the match and listenin to my newly aqquired Panda Pod...everythin was goin swimmingly. completely engrossed in the match like the others, the tannoy came on;
"Will passengers of the flight from Brunei to Dubai please go to Gate 30 for immeadiate boarding."

fortunately i had only one headphone on..."excuse me?it cant be..." i proceeded to look at the clock...4.20pm...no way...got out of my seat and checked the screens...oh no...that was our flight!rushed back to our seats..."DUDE! thats us!" "no way..."
and off we dashed...where...where...where?! gate 30! move it! and that was the first time in a long time i had to sprint for my life...the last time i moved that fast was across the Bullring with bert,phan and kiet over a free donut at Kirspy Kremes...so we dashed...ran right to gates 21-34 or whatever it is..and sprinted down the lane...
"okay...gate 20...21...22...23...24..25..26..27..28..29...good...its comin...32?! #$%^&*?!!! wheres 30?!"
so, it turns out gate 30 is right at the end of the wing...i lost matt..he had to take a pit stop...screw that..at least ill get on the plane!
So, i get to gate 30..im outta breath..my feet are aching...im a lil delirious from the head rush...get me on that plane! wait...wait! the entrance to the desk has been roped off!! NO! no way!okay..the woman is still at the counter..i gotta do it..and so i did.
I jumped and hurdled over these 2 rows of chairs..jumped off the chair and landed on the floor when she said;
"Sir, what are u doing?"
"gettin on the plane?"
"We havent boarded yet..please take a seat...*she points to the seating area full of passengers waitin to get on as well...they are also staring at me wonderin who is this chinese kid tryin to cut the cue*"
"ah."

oh,and we boarded at 4:50pm.and there was a 45 minute delay.

Spicy Chicken or Omlette?:
So, this was durin the 2nd leg of out flight...from Dubai to Brunei...my tv screen kept jamming and after watchin the first 20 minutes of Ice Age 2 three times, i decided to sleep...the seats are obviously uncomfortable and i could smell stinky feet from passenger 33H but somehow, i managed to get into slumber mode very well...so, im probably a good 3 hours in my sleep..when i hear;
"sir..?"
im dreaming.leave me alone.
"Sir..?"
ur a part of my imagination.leave me alone.
"SIR"
*slap across my arm*
"uh...what...?!"
"spicy chicken or omlette?"
ARE you kiddin me dude?!try sleepin sittin up with the aroma of brunei feet in the air...
"omlette please."
"yes sir"

grr.
So im home...will post soon.
lovin my Panda Pod..matt thinks thats a crap name...i disagree.
