Am currently sitting in JFK's transit terminal, styrofoam cup of bitter coffee sits next to my new netbook (which am typing on now), my hair is poofy like a show dog, my carry-on luggage is huddled next to me (in fear someone will snatch something the moment I blink away) and... am bored stiff.
My plane to Dubai has been delayed 2 hours due to "inappropraite" weather (a.k.a rain). Its been 3 hrs and 45 minutes... I've been through every single shop in the duty-free and non duty-free area, chatted to a stranger in Starbucks (whom I believe doesn't think "oversharing" to random strangers in airports is possible!), read an overpriced magazine, and phoned the family back home. I regret not putting my novel or sketch book in the laptop case. Shoot!
Opposite sit a gothic Asian young couple. Apparently, they couldn't find a room, and/or can't wait to arrive safely to their destination, and they chose to perform this public display of affection only 2 feet away from center food court in JFK!! hmm... though gotta admit, I like his weird hairdo, and her boots!
Cutest Hispanic baby with her mother on the table next to mine. Her laugh is so adorable, and she seems to be easily amused! My dress and loud keyboard typing grab her attention and her eyes are fixed on my pink fingernails hitting the keys...
Love babies. Don't think I want some of my own though (Poor mother! Guess she'll have to do with my brother's kids)
JFK is so busy. Its amazing how they can maintain order in this place.
Better go grab a bite and ask about this damned plane at any information desk.
My next blog entry will be from Dubai (That is, IF I arrive anytime during this week and not turn into the female version of Tom Hanks in the movie "The Terminal" !!)

I hope u're not still stuck in the airport when u read this :)
ReplyDeleteNever been into an airport or on board of a plane all my life... I am really envying you right now!
Can't u buy a book or something? I'm imagining myself doing that and OH I'D LOVE TO DO IT! Like you can finish it by the time you arrive! ooh!
Haha.. airports are very over-rated, u might think its a big deal but with time u will relaize what a hassle airports and planes can be. Travelling on the other hand, is awesome! Exploring other land, cultures, people and their customs...
ReplyDeleteI tried buying a book, they were mostly travel books, the fictional ones didn't interest me and nothing grabbed my attention...
It was hard to concentrate on a book anyway as JFK is a crazy enough airport... sitting back and watching people come and go was enough to entertain anyone! If u watched Tom Hanks movie, "The Terminal" u'll know what I mean :)
