secure my ass

i realized today that i took a book of matches with me on the flight to hk earlier this week. it was hiding out in one of my zippered compartments in my carry-on backpack.

too bad i forgot my shoe bomb.

i bet it would probably have shut that noisy kid up that was sitting two seats to my right. seriously, if you have a kid... let's say 4 years old or so, and he's crying, kicking, and causing general debauchery, shouldn't you do something about it?

i decided that cathay pacific isn't very good, at least not the flight i took to hk. i remembered past flights as being decent. but i haven't flown with them in a long time. probably a decade, almost. i now prefer JAL, but unfortunately, they don't fly nonstop to hk.

i thought it was kinda weird that they would serve congee for breakfast. i opted for the other meal, scrambled eggs with sausage. it wasn't too bad, especially with some salt and pepper. for lunch, which came before the breakfast meal, i had the seafood stir-fry with steamed rice. talk about false advertising! it came with two little shrimps and some veggies.

the appetizer was pretty good though. smoked salmon with capers. the dessert wasn't too bad either, apple pastry with vanilla cream. but who am i kidding, i'm looking forward to some kt when i get back to la. (also some dnl as well.)
