After a long 7 hours waiting at the Golden Lounge, finally it was time to boarding. The MH190 flight to Delhi was scheduled at 6.50pm and departed at Gate C24. The cabin crews were friendly enough to assist me and make the trip a pleasant one. No wonder they always win the best cabin crew for few years back. Keep it up MAS! It was in the plane when I knew that the exact time of flight to Delhi is 4 hours 30 minutes and not 3 hours, duh!
This is the Mee Jawa which I said earlier!
The 4-hour journey however felt not a long time since the in flight services were superb such as they provide the Malaysian signature of favorite sate besides an in-flight entertainment console. Throughout the journey, I managed to watch 2 films that were Megamind and 127 hours.
We arrived at Indra Ghandi International Airport of New Delhi at 9.20pm local time. It was actually approximately 12.00am in Malaysia since New Delhi’s time is 3-hour late from us in Malaysia. The airport is beautiful and traditionally decorated related to Indian auspice. By the way, the temperature in Delhi at the time of arrival was 21 degree celcius.

During waiting for luggage pick up, it was cross in my mind that I’d like to try to get to the Clarion Collection Hotel using the public transport. Happen to be I couldn’t find any signage of my name in the line of call person at the exit door of the airport. I tried to get a prepaid taxi service and they charged me INR250 for the route. The hotel is well known as Quttab Hotel among the local so that I was facing difficulties when I mentioning the Clarion Collection Hotel.

Another valueless experience I get tonight is that the drivers in Delhi are driving extremely crazy! They keep honking each other, following other cars so near and bit the traffic light such as that action is admissible among the local. Throughout the heart-pounding-25-minutes of taxi trip I managed to arrive at the Clarion Collection Hotel. Alhamdulillah….

I’ve checked in by 10.30pm in a Deluxe Room ~ not bad lah…. The ambience is soothing and the facilities are good. There is a bad news however… they do not provide wi-fi or internet connection on complimentary basis in the room! So means that the effort to update the blog is getting tougher in Delhi…. Adus! There are 3 packages available i.e. INR138 for 24hours, INR538+ for 12hours and INR750+ for 24hours connection. So, I think I’ve to recalculate and form a strategic plan in order to get the connection in the few days ahead.

Ok la geng~ it’s already 12.25am New Delhi time. Have to get some sleep before attending a conference tomorrow (even there are no info at all about tomorrow program either from the organizer or the hotel… WTF!). Until then, thank you for reading!
p/s: A journey requires courage and calmness.
Take a shake to lessen your stress!
