Not Quite Lost ...

Well, the other day ... Sunday night in Germany time ... I got onto the plane in Frankfurt. Before reaching said plane, I had to meet the chatty passprot control man who asked me what I had been doing and why and then asked me where I had been I said Stuttgart and he said "oooh, expensive". I think he was jealous.

I got stuck waiting in the line to get my bags checked behind this giant-sized family who happened to be very pushy. I had wanted to buy a water for the plane, but oh no, no time for that, so I just got on, it was only going to be 6 or so hours until I was in Dubai anyway.

Not such a bad flight tbh. I watched some movie with Sandra Bullock ... The Premonition I think it was called. Such a great film, I really reccommend it. I mean, it is sad and all because she loses her husband (do not worry, I do not ruin anything for you) and it is all about how she knows iut will happen etc etc. I am a big Sandra Bullock fan, so maybe that is why I liked it LOL. After the movie, I went dor dor.

Arrived in Dubai. It is always so damn hot there! Cannot say it would not be nice and the way that they keep showing me pics of those nice pools I happen to know that I want to holiday there. Next year, I have now successfully convinced my boyfriend and Twister to come with me ... any more takers???

Did some duty-free shopping in Dubai. Got my water, cost me only 30 Aussie cents! (That is 20 cents to you Germans). Also, my can of Coke cost that too ... Oscar and Johnny have a nice pic with the Coke they said I shall show you. I have still to upload it yet.

Got on the plane in Dubai and was sat at the front of economy, but in the middle, then again, who so much cares when you get all that extra leg room ... mmm leg room is sooooo good! ... The guy next to me was old and he smelt like old man smell, it made me feel sick after a while. Ewww. The other person next to me was a mum and her kid and husband were in the seats across the aisle. The kid was a little sweetie, she talked to me, well, you know, how 2 year olds try and talk to people. I gave her paper for her pencils, she thought I was the shit LOL.

I watched lots of movies and tv. I saw TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Shrek the Third, Spiderman 3, Walk The Line, Disturbia, Prison Break, JT and Mika video clips ... as you can tell, I hardly slept at all.

Thing is, we were going along just fine until they told us to put our seatbelts on out of nowhere, but as it came on we hit some bad turbulance and even the crew was told to sit. We had some bumps and then those little bumps of the air pockets, nothing too bad you know, had it all before, then suddenly the plane just dropped. And that was no joke, the scariest moment of my life, I honestly thought the plane would fall out of the sky - as I think most other people on the plane did. It looked, no joke, like part of the plance scene in LOST. The plane dropped, the lights went out, people and every object went flying all over the place. Some people got injured. People screamed and then the plane stabilised and there was this deathly silence like we all waited for the fire or the plane to crash in half and we all drown in some ocean.

At the time I was watching Prison Break. I could even show you the exact point in the episode that it happened. It was in the last episode of the first season. I stopped watching it after that. I took more travel sick tablets to try and calm me down, but they did not help much, I was shaking so much for over half an hour. I put on WTL and somehow managed to calm myself down again. I should say sorry to my bear Johnny, I think he has never been squeezed so hard in his whole life. Poor little guy. Sorry Johnny!!!

All I could think of was the things that I still wanted to do and the people waiting for me and how I might not ever get to see them again ... It was just so bad. It has taken me a while to calm down over it to the point that I am okay with it.

I just wanted to get of that plane so bad. They let us off at Bangkok for like 10 minutes. Then we got back on and went home. I didn't sleep so much really. I was not really in the mood for it. It took me ages to even want to close my eyes again, even when I was at home. It is okay now.

Well, that is my LOST experience. No Sawyer, sadly, but he was in Konstanz LOL. And I liked that I had my footy magazine to read - yes it was in German and I do not care because I can understand a fair bit of it on my own. I think the guy next to me thought I was mental because I kept looking at it and playing with the stickers and doing Bundesliga sudoku - it was easy btw, Twister!

Oscar wants me to show you his pics and tell you how evil he is, but right now, I am getting sleepy being that I was up all last night and I did not even have a nap today ... I will do it later on.

Hope you all have a good time. And do not worry, I am safe here.
