Going inside the airport, I forgot to put my purse inside my bag. So when I passed the metal detector, it sounded enggg, enggggg! (lol) so the lady guard told me to step aside and she started searching for the bomb! Heheheh (I am the bomb!). After a minute of scrutinizing my purse, she let me thru.
We were waiting patiently until an airport official told us to pay something. It was a tourist tax! So aside from the terminal fee, we needed to pay this tourist tax! And what the heck is a tourist tax? And what’s it for? Anyone?
Of course, we paid it. (grrrrrr!)
So after checking in our baggage, we still need to go through one metal detector. This time, I already learned my lesson. I put my purse and cell phone in the bag so that I won’t be scandalized (hahahha). So I walked thru (not walls) the metal detector and it was as quiet as a sleeping dragon. I thought that was it. Again, the lady guard (I am starting to hate their kind hahahha). She asked me the most unbelievable favor I have ever heard! She asked me to step out of my shoes and put it in that detector thing-y! I know that you do that when you go from one state to another in the United States! We are no where near United States! We are in asia! Asia! Asia!
I was so furious not because it was hard to slip in and out of my shoes. I was angry because I put in tissues inside my shoes! I had a plastic one so I needed it to avoid sweat from developing into something reaalll scary! (and deadly).
But then again, I needed to give in. Feeling defeated, I put my shoes in that metal detector.
And then, another lady guard strikes again!
She searched my hand carry bag and told me that she needed to confiscate my conditioner! I did not put it in the bag that I checked in since I was afraid that it would open and ruin my clothes. She then told me that no fluids should be checked in. I understood that since I worked as a payroll specialist for an airline company before. What I did not understand was that she wanted to confiscate it and yet she ignored the bottled of iced tea inside my precious bag! Duh!
For whatever its worth, she let me passed and I was advised to not just show that bottle inside the waiting area. As if I’m gonna walk around, show everybody there that conditioner. Even if I pretend to be a model of that stuff, who would believe me, ayt?
11:45am sharp, we started boarding the aircraft. AirAsia was our official carrier to Malaysia! (beauty queens!)
