Stranded in Brunei (almost...)

Sighz... Thought D was quite late when he went to the airport... 唉... 想不到... As it is, I'm still in Brunei at noon... Just missed the flight in the morning as we went to the airport too late. We (DT, PK, XY and me) were still checking out from our hotel at 915am, but the process took a fair bit of time. By the time all of us was done, it was about 10am already. And a normally 10-minute journey to the airport took slightly longer due to a little traffic jam... And so by the time we reached, it was less than half an hour before our flight at 1040 and we could not board the plane anymore.

After some communication back to the people in office, informing them about our predicament, we almost got the ticket for a 1220 flight. But at the last minute, we were told that our flights would be changed to the 735pm one... But here's the catch, only 3 of us got the confirmed tickets, with 1 on the waiting list. And the one on the waiting list is ME (duh!!!)... But at least got a confirmed ticket for the morning flight the next day... DT said I can come with them to the airport later to see if I could get a tix...

So went back to the hotel, and stayed at the lobby... Went for lunch at a nearby restaurant... Played a few games of DOTA while waiting for time to pass... This time went to the airport very early after the lesson learnt in the morning. Tried to smoke through the check in counter, but of course, the system wouldn't let me do so. Nonetheless, at least the person at the counter told me I have a higher priority on the waiting list, so not too bad I suppose. Took a short break at a fast food outlet in the airport as there was still time.

Went back to the counter, half an hour before the flight scheduled time, when the check in would close. I was told that there were 3 seats and 4 on waiting list. But I was not so unlucky not to get the ticket. So finally got my tix at 7pm, and what a relief that was... So much for the change in my flight timing, in the end still come back at the same time. But at least i don't need to spend a lonely night here in Bandar Seri Begawan...
