Alor Star part 2
As you know I went home to AS to visit my parents; and came home with a horrid flu&fever!
This trip was pretty short as I had a lot of things to get done in a limited period of time.
And I flew and it was the first time I used the new Sultan Abdul Halim Airport.
What I saw there was .. the airport is right next to a paddy field, quaint innit.
At a bible study cell group.
What I learnt was ..the world was indeed small .. I met an old classmate's (Joycelyn's) grand aunt Grace who is holidaying in AS while looking for some of her long lost siblings. She was adopted as a child and now lives in the US with her family. So she's Joycelyn's dad's aunty, and Joycelyn was my high school classmate. How's that for a small world!
Known fact: I am still afraid to fly, the landing in AS was terrible, no thanks to the pilot!
It went like bump, bumpity bump, a long inertia pull; which I had to use both my hands to balance out, before coming to a halting stop, the runway was pretty long *thank God*
On the other hand the flight back to KL was smooth sailing all the way! Love the smooth landing! Kudos to Capt Alwyn!
The new MB's residence is huge plus it has a new conference building, which is a rather huge waste of good space! .. and if it's not too much to add .. good tax payer's money
The new AS GH, the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital is really not bad .. and is again located right next to a spralling paddy field .. seriously! And when you sleep, I was testing out my dad's bed when he first checked in, and you can really hear the wind howling during the day. I wonder how it was at night?
And one last bit; I ate all my meals in AS this time in the hospital's cafetaria .. seriously..
but again to be fair, the food there was pretty good with loads of variety, so ain't all bad!
Ok back to work before the bossman gets me!
