how to get a free holiday to hong kong





Dearest readers...if you are reading this, it means im still in hong kong when i should really be in canada right now. what happened was, yesterday (atelast i think it is yesterday, im not sure about the dates anymore), we went out of our house at 5.30 am to KLIA... when we got there, after a long wait, eventhough there were only a few of us, we were told that our flight to Hong Kong (which was supposed to be only a few hours transit) on Cathay Pacific was cancelled. So, all of us were issued new tickets on Malaysian Airlines. All aboard safely on the plane, i settled down for the 5 hour flight and got comfortable watching the flight entertainment....

NEARLY REACHING HONG KONG......

we were only i think an hour away from hong kong when suddenly...the pilot announced...."LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, WE ARE SORRY TO ANNOUNCE...THERE IS A TYPHOON IN HONG KONG AND BECAUSE OF THE STORM.....WE HAVE TO TURN BACK TO KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT" ...gleeelllaaaaahhhh......we were nearly there for Gods sake!!!

Unperturbed, we went back to KL...all of us were given free coupons to eat for lunch and dinner....dhla dapat makan burger king for free~~we kind of had a burger king fiesta at the aiport, ~me, my mom and dad....as our flight was due at 9.30pm...imagine that....we had to stay at KLIA from morning until night!!!

Finally, we were on our plane to Hong Kong, and our transti was supposedto be 4 hours...mark the words SUPPOSED....Well, what happened was, when we landed, the people on the grounds told us to go in another direction, the strange thing was that the other passengers went the other way....i was like "huh??"...Turns out, my instincts were right, we were at the wrong place......so, me and my wide eyed family --patah balik--- the whole long way around the airport....we asked so many people and most of them did not understand about our plight....

So...yesterday...my first thought of Hong Kong and their airport-----rude, unhelpful, weird, worst airport of the year and bla bla bla....i was extremely mad at them!!IMAGINE...me and my parents had to carry heavy bags ulang-alik all the way and yet no one knew where to put us because our next flight was the next day(today) and Air Canada did not open any counters....what happened to the other passengers then???!!!D-UHHHH.....

After 2 hours of excruciating wait....FINALLY....(thank God)..there were helpful people from Cathay Pacific, which directed us to the place that we should have gone in the first place... So, we got free hotel stay for one night....(that is the story laa)....NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO GET A FREE HOLIDAY IN HONG KONG---HOTEL, BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER PROVIDED...WAAAHHH

I guess, after the ordeal, atleast my wish was granted...i did get to stay in Hong Kong and we did get to walk around the city for awhile...God said "Nak sangat tengok Hong Kong kan....nah...tengokla....tapi kena susah2 dahulu"...(my mom phrased that) ...


Im now in the airport...waiting finally for my flight to canada...hope to update soon....!!
