My Strange World: Malaysia Airlines

We start our morning by heading the Ueno Park. From Ikebukuro to Ueno Station, it cost us ¥170 per way per person (around MYR6.30 per person). Walked down the park, went to the pond and there was sort like Yakuza gathering there! Luckily during that gathering, we were about to leave the park!

Good morning from Ikebukuro!

From Ueno Park, we went to Asakusa Station which cost us ¥170 per way per person (around MYR6.30 per person). Went to the Sensoji Temple and walk down the shopping street of over 200 meters called Nakamise. We shopped for some souvenirs here!

From Asakusa, we went to Tokyo Skytree. We took photos outside without went up to the tower, as there is a shopping mall there.

At night, me and my brother went to Akibahara which cost us ¥200 per way, per person (around MYR7.40 one way per person). Stopped at the Gundam Cafe and just walked around. The wind was so strong and cold, obviously! Then we head back to apartment!

It took me only 2 weeks to really finalized my itinerary to Tokyo from 02 - 06 May 2016. With the help of my lil bro, Pejal, we managed to bring our parents to Tokyo!

-----------------
Me n my parents are already checked in as we are using my last n final FOC ticket. It was just my lil bro, Pejal taking the standby ticket from Kuching to Narita. KL to Narita was not a problem since the flight was half full! Luckily with the help of my friend in KCH, we managed to get the seat for Pejal.

We gathered in KLIA to take the flight to Narita Airport, Tokyo.

Reached Narita Airport at around 0740hrs, local time Tokyo. As we do not really in a rush, so we just walked slowly for the gate to arrival. At the immigration, I am not sure why it took quite longer time for me to settle.

We went down to the train area to reload the Suica cards I borrowed from Kak Zila and Kak Jah. Since Pejal wanted to purchase the Suica card for himself, so I just follow his to the counter and he managed to buy 1! As for reload, we have to go to the machine. Luckily, there are instruction in English!

We took the cheapest transportation from Narita Airport to to the city! Since we need to go to Ikebukuro station to get to our apartment! From Narita Airport Terminal 2, to Nappori station only cost us ¥1030 each, around MYR38.00 by taking the Keisei Main Line Limited Express. Then, from there, we took the JR Yamanote Line to Ikebukuro Station, ¥170 around MYR6.30 each.

At Ikebukuro Station, with the help of my lil bro, Pejal, we managed to get to the surface and look for our apartment we paid from airbnb. So far, my parents just stayed at the apartment, whereas me & my brother went to Sunshine City nearby. Found the Daiso shop there at the ground floor, and spotted the Pokemon Center and Pejal surveyed the G-Shock watch for his friend.

With Juhaida, Firdaus (my guest) & Salma (Juhaida's guest)!

A couple of days ago, I attended a closed event organised by Malaysia Airlines Berhad (Where I am working at the moment), for a launching of the New A330 Business Class! How did I manage to attend this event? Our Culture and Engagement organised a crossword contest among the staff for the lucky 10! And, I was one of them! The last one in the list actually! Consider a very lucky one! Because I seldom win contests I joined.

The edited list

Anyway, the day of the launching, I was working on the midnight shift. Which mean, I finished work at 7am, I reached home at 7.30am. Managed to take a one hour nap, and off we go to Sepang at around 9.30am, since the registration start at 11am. I drove to Sepang with Juhaida, since we were the only lucky 2 from Subang to the event! Our guests waited for us over there! Hehe

Reached MAB South Support Zone (SSZ) at around 10.30am with a help of a can of latte to keep me awake! Haha. After registration, we were told to pick up our door gifts after the event. So, while waiting for it to start, we walked around taking photos!

The four of us!

So, event started at around 11.30am. Not really sure, whether sharp or a few minutes later. It was emceed by Debra Henry (Deborah Priya Henry), ex Miss World Malaysia 2007 and as well Miss Universe Malaysia 2011. She is so pretty! Hehe.

Debra Henry is in the house!

Among the performances was some girls wearing black tights with some sort of laser or glow-in-the-dark things on their body. Next was these dancers with these baju kelawar attached with some tiny lights. After that, these performers hitting these big drums with Malay music and Chinese music. Then, combined with some Indian guys with these Indian drums attached to their waists! Agak2 paham la kot? Hahaha

Done with the dancing and drums hitting, came out Shafinaz singing opera! I don't understand anything came out from her mouth, but maybe some other guests understood what she is saying or singing. Towards the end, the backdrop automatically separated and the business class seat came out with the male model sitting on it. The same male model in the handouts and as well on the website. Click here to see the male model I am referring to http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/experience/business-class/new_level_of_comfort.html.

After the male model left the seat, the head of MH Chief Commercial Officer gave a few words. Then, guests are invited to experience the seat on the flight parked outside, next to the air conditioned tent. The emcee invited the media first! Of course for the promotion purpose.

The four of us decided to queue for the food first! The food are lovely since they are prepared by Brahims, the main caterer for Malaysia Airlines flights! We had some chicken & mutton satays, kambing golek and desserts! After that, than only we went in to the flight to try the seats!

Once we finish experiencing the new business class seats, we went out the tent, and collect our door gifts! The door gifts were the miniature model of MH A380! Scaled 1:1200! Then we continue our photo taking in front of the backdrops provided. Suddenly rain pouring heavily and we waited some time to get on the shuttle provided to get to the car parked at the admin building situated nearby the hangar!

It was a fun experience to attend such a memorable and important event! Hope to get more chances to attend such events in the future!
