Day 1

It’s about an hour away from the destination. I’m currently flying over the Japanese island. Here is the recap of my day.

I arrived at LAX nearly three hours before the departure in preparation to face tighten up securities at the airport. United Airline had two hours delay due to the overcast weather in San Francisco. In addition to unusual magnitude of turbulences, I was seated next to this gigantic Caucasian male, who barely fitted into tiny economy seat. I could of swear he reminded me of a professional wrestler seen on TV. His knees literally were touching against front seat, which force him to squat and roll up his entire body for next 4 hours. Of course I had pleasure of watching him suffer, and in return, I throw bad jokes at him for next 4 hours.

There was this one kid from LAX terminal, who must be going through his puberty, with up most annoying voice I ever had to endure. Combinations of squeaky and off-pitch sound created this awful sound wave that torture my eardrum. It was equivalent to “lion blast” attack from Kung Fu Hustle that pierce eardrums and causes people to turn deaf. In many occasions, I had to restrain myself from walking up to him, and adjust his vocal chord so that he may never speak again. I was able to control myself knowing that I only had to endure his voice for the duration at the terminal, possibly in the plane to SFO.

Barely made it to SFO, catching connector flight to Korea via Singapore Airline. Everything about Singapore Airline was pleasant one, especially the staff. After loading my bag and sitting at my assigned seat, I felt a kick from the back seat. I looked back, and there he is, the kid with the puberty “lion blast”. Doom! Duration of this flight is estimated to 12 hours and 30 minutes. I did not wait a nano second before I request to move our seatings
