Welcome Back to Me
Hello everybahdy! :) (my little sis likes to say that). It's been quite a while since i last updated. Not that i have lost interest in photography or gave up the 'tiring' job of updating the blog. I was just busy spending my summer holidays in Malaysia with my family. This summer break was super special than normal, because i got to spent a whole month fasting with my family and on top of that, my family and i got to celebrate hari raya aidilfitri as whole for the first time in 3 years. Super awesome, super fun and i was so super happy, that i gained a few kilograms on the way :) Look kinda plump right now to be honest.
So, being in Malaysia for almost 6 weeks, i have quite a few stories/pictures to share, not a lot though, i was spending most of my time in my parents house - but one could expect around 3 new entries in the coming days, not including this one :)
For your info, i just arrived in Aalen about 13 hours ago, after a mixed feeling +-26 hours journey from Kuala Lumpur - 13 hours in plane, 10 hours transit time in bahrain & 3 hours in the train. Why mixed? well, it was pretty sad to leave my family yet again - after spending such a good time together, could still hear the sound of their tears lingering my ears, sob3x.
But then, felt happy for a while, cause, for some unknown reason(more like didn't bother to know), my flight got promoted to business class for the kuala lumpur-bahrain journey (wished it was for the whole journey). it's my first time flying in business class. So, what would u guess a guy, first time being in a business class with a camera in his hand luggage,would do? hurm.
Because it was my first time, i tried to document the experience a little - don't really know when will the next time be, if there will be any next time to get an opportunity like that again :). While i wanted to capture the experience, i also didn't want to appear like some kampung boy - u know, one needs to keep his cool :)
Therefore, i decided to only take pictures of the food, since food could portray levels of luxury pretty well in my opinion. For example, in the economy class, we normal people, will have our main course served in an aluminum pack - while people in the business class seems to enjoy their food on a heavy clay plates :). You get the picture. So, please allow me to start with the appetizers :)
I ordered mushroom soup, but kinda got a piece of satay as well, probably a complimentary of the house. The mushroom soup was kinda weird, cause it had french beans in it as well (the floating green things) - still, it was yummy nonetheless.
Next, for the entree, i got a beef tenderloin in black peppercorn sauce (probably my first time savouring a beef tenderloin, that piece of meat ain't cheap i tell ya)
Then, for dessert, i had mixed fruits as well as pineapple pie - the pie, to describe it in words, was a pineapple jam filled pastry topped with custard sugar (i am sure there is a different name for it, but it's still basically just a lump of sugar). highly NOT recommended for diabetes patients.
After that, about one and a half hour before the plane landed in bahrain, i also ate a turkey sandwich, but unfortunately, didn't take any shots of it, was eating in the dark.
There you go, a few pics of the food from the business class, which hopefully could propagate the luxurious feeling of flying in one. As you can see in couple of the pics, i only had water and juice for drinks - but for the non-Muslims, they were also offered champagne and wine. And, there were a couple who asked for ice cream, and they got two small tubes of Häagen Dazs - i don't think i even got ice cream in the economy class, though you could probably ask for it :)
