And this is MY story... I normally don't have a habit of
taking airline photos, let it be their meal, wing tip, livery, crew or etc.
Perhaps it is too mainstream to my taste (poyo giler), but I have to give
credit to Air Asia this time around, for this few reasons :
i). They started their journey with few 'rangkap of pantun',
that I personally think it is the best Malaysia touch ever. Not only I was
tickled by it, I was impressed and amazed of the idea (wish it was mine!).
Great job to whoever suggested/wrote/excuted it. Clap clap clap... ii). The
livery on the flight I took was a nice and soft touch of Malaysia unity,
coupled with the pantun = perfect combination. You got my attention alrighty!
iii). I was on board with a group of locals (Makassarese) heading
to Jeddah via Air Asia (all the way, transiting in KLIA) to perform their
umrah. The look on their face; having to be able to visit Tanah Suci Mekkah was
priceless. Fulfillment. Satisfaction. Blessed. I pray for their safe trip
to/fro, their prayers be heard/answered and may their umrah be blessed. Ameen.
iv). Love the pilot narrating the flight through-out (or
should I say tour-guiding us through-out); briefing us on the timing, routes,
below attractions and meal, with cheeky jokes here and there, ending it with a
nasihat/pantun orang tua-tua. Keeping the journey alive, and me fully
entertained.
v). How can I Ieave out the ever so friendly eye-candy cabin
crew in this flight. The crew entertained a group of locals (makciks-pakciks)
to a few wefies (note the word : FEW). Never tired of taking orders cum
wefie-ing with the passengers. They made the makciks' day definitely, I bet the
makciks and pakciks will remember this holiday for the next one year (or more).
Kudos to Captain Shahar and all AK333 crew! Keep up the good
work!
