Horrible flight?

My adventure to Hanoi started even from KLIA itself.

'Oh man, flight is delayed for two hours! Oh well, it's ok, I can walk around duty free shops and write type some emails with a cuppa coffee.'

After 2 hours:
'What??? Another 2 hours delay??? Ok, not that I can do anything about it. We shall find a comfortable spot to get some rest'

After another 2 hours:
'You got to be kidding me!! Your dinner vouchers ain't gonna make me happy!!! FINE, we shall have some pizzas for dinner and call the hotel in Hanoi to notify them that we'll be checking in after midnight.'

All in all, we had a 6 hour delay at KLIA!!! :S

'Alright... we're boarding... here we go to HCMC and then to Hanoi!'

Plane lands in HCMC...
'It's raining... oh wow, we need a bus ride to the airport... '

At the terminal...
'What's going on??? Hi, we are to transit to Hanoi, where do we goto?'
'*&*(923&^ @^#*( @*((# lang bang tong song etc '
'Hey, English pls?'
'What??? No more flights to Hanoi????? NO WAYY! Hey, I start work tomorrow!!!'
'I'm sorry mam, we can't do anything. There is only flight tomorrow morning.'

After a longgggggg explanation and arrangements... (man... I think these ppl need management training for unpredicted situations), we are to stay a night at HCMC and take the 0630 flight to Hanoi. Great, I'm going to miss my first day of work.

They had a bomb scare on the plane. Therefore, for precaution purposes, (yea i get it), they checked every spot on the plane causing the longggg delay.

Oh well, I get a glimpse of Saigon and it's a 5 star hotel but what the heck it's 1am now, I'm too tired to enjoy it.

Good side of it? If it has been a normal flight, I would have nothing to remember it. Met some Malaysians on the flight. Made some friends from a horrible flight.
