oh no no no..not again. as it is, the first huge mysterious case of the missing mh370 plane has not been solved, here comes this horrific news of mh17 that went down in the eastern part of ukraine. all on board perished which was 295 that includes 15 tech crew as well as cabin crew. it is a tragedy that has affected the entire world, yet again! the finger pointing has begun on whose fault it was (on who shot it down) - ukraine and russia. it was a missile that most likely brought mh17 down.
my mind now wanders back to the day i was departing from kuala lumpur international airport in sepang, on 16 july. i was taking jetstar back to singapore after being in kuala lumpur, for about a week. at the boarding area, i could see through the glass windows, one of the malaysia airlines plane parked nearby and it was the B777. i just sat and stared at it for a few minutes and didnt think much of it, just normal stuff like where the plane was heading to, how awesome travelling is..etc
so then it was time for me to board my flight. i settled in nicely to my allocated seat and whipped out my ipad mini because i wanted to try and take some photos. (if you didnt already know, i just love snapping photos of people, food, things, buildings, planes etc). upon pushback of the aircraft, i was happily snapping away using the ipad.
i took this when my plane was taxing on the runway. spotted A330 parked at one of the bays.
along the way, i also managed to take kuala lumpur international airport 2, which is a budget terminal that houses the airline airasia. a very new airport which opened not too long ago.
and then we were up in the air. such a beautiful day with blue skies and white fluffy clouds.
then just last night, my batchmates and i were happily chatting on whatsapp when my husband called out to me to tell me of this breaking news. i quickly informed my friends who immediately left to go and listen to the news on tv. i only managed to get some shut eye in the wee hours of the morning as i was tossing and turning and couldnt really sleep. i feel numb yet again and questions running through my head like why and how.
now before i end this blog, this is the picture that i took of that aircraft i had mentioned earlier in this blog, the B777 (where i was staring at, at the boarding area), its registration was 9M-MRD and it is the aircraft that was operating on this flight mh17. im not sure how many people have taken pictures of this particular aircraft but im guessing i was probably one of the last few who did. thats why i want to share it with you guys. i had an odd feeling that i could've taken a shot of this plane and so i checked my photo album on my ipad and lo and behold it is the same aircraft!! holy shit! i cant believe it either! what do you call it? co-incidence??

well thats it from me. for those of you who are travelling, do take care and say a prayer. speak to your loved ones, say your peace before your travels. life is short. and if you have lost a loved one on any crash(or on this), im so sorry for your loss and god be with you always! RIP mh17!
before i end, im just enclosing a couple more photos that i took on my trip back from kuala lumpur to singapore.
i took this when we were flying over the city of johor bahru, which was almost landing time. such a wonderful birds eye view of the city down below isnt it?
and then we have a photo when we were about to touchdown into singapore changi airport.
so while we were taxing, there was an A330 taxing as well and behind it, the A380, which was parked at one of the bays. i just love it!
last but not least, several different planes from around the world, parked out in the open space/tarmac. pretty "maids" all in a row
right then, thats really it!
