Day 1: The Cotton Candy Clouds...

~ 14th March 2014, Friday ~

Enjoying the beautiful view.... 

We have our seats pre-booked. Time for mi mama to look into the blue sky and cotton candy clouds. I have had my fair share of staring into those beautiful sky during my previous flights. The best clouds were those on the way to Beijing but the air-stewardess from Shenzhen Airlines had her eyes like hawks on my hand because photography in flight was not allowed. So, what's actually outside that small little window other than getting the pinching hot sunlight shining through. You know we have been covered with haze in March so I have not seen clear blue sky for a few months. 

Aaaa.... wwwoowwwwooowww..... camera.... where's my camera?

I was telling myself that I should not take out both my cameras, one in my pocket and one snuggled in the bag under the seat. Don't take out the camera.... don't take out the camera... just enjoy the view as it is. I was leafing through AirAsia's in-flight magazine and then I just felt like taking a peep out of the pigeon hole. And it was.... wow~!!! I was frantically digging out my compact camera from my pocket but after that I was pulling out my big camera snuggled comfortably in its bag. I can assure you that the poor camera was overworked and underpaid.... not paid at all in fact. The flight was a little under 4 hours and I spent one hour doing nothing and two hours looking into the clear blue sky and I think I finished up two batteries from the camera but of course I showed only a few photos here. Don't fancy showing everything... you have to experience it yourself, see it with your own eyes. It's different from looking at photos. 

Fluff fluff...

Are we at the polar region?

Flying above and through the fluffy clouds...

IF only I know how to skydive.... but how high above do you start skydiving? I totally have no idea and I don't think I will ever have the chance to do so. I want to touch those clouds but there shouldn't be anything as they are just made of water vapours with charged particles? That's what I know from Science. God is so meticulous in creating everything under the sun.

Let us take a selfie first....

Let's take a photo of ourselves. I have less photos of myself in this trip. You will get bored passing your camera to others to take your own photo and then if the result came out not as you wish, then it's better not to take at all. I prefer holding the camera and fire away. I know what I want to appear on the screen and how I want the photos to turn out like. 

The busy Hong Kong sea... 

Hey, sign of humans down there. We're nearing the airport in Hong Kong on the island of Chek Lap Kok, so the airport runway is just by the sea. You will need very experienced pilot for a good landing. You know which airlines to travel with now? None other than our....

亞洲航空.... AirAsia

Eh, why am I advertising for AirAsia? AirAsia no give me water to drink also... I always almost choked to death coz' my saliva was totally dried up and I cannot afford to buy the expensive drink and I'm too stingy to buy food. Can give me a big bottle of water for free next time? Aiya, don't have also never mind coz' I don't want to go to the toilet.
