Mourning for #MH17

Mourning for #MH17

20 remains of identified Malaysian remains will be sending back to its homeland on 22th August 2014.

43 ill-fated Malaysian passenger boarded MH17 flying from Amsterdam back to Kuala Lumpur was shot down over Ukraine's eastern region on a tragic day on July 17. Declared by the government as 22th August 2014 the day of national mourning, 20 MH17 victims will be finally sent back from The Netherlands.

[Update] Mourning will start from 1030 to 1115 throughout Malaysia with one minute of silence to honour the victims of the MH17 tragedy. 7 main locations, traffic will be stopped to join the mourning.

This is a historical day for Malaysian, to show a strong unity of the great nation and also act as a reminder why is important to live together in unity as Malaysians. If Dutch can shown their sign of respect by observing silence, I believe Malaysian can do so. 

I hope all Malaysian can unite as one and observe one minute silence for the respect of the MH17 victims.

Japan Trip - Kansai Airport

Konichiwa

Is time! Our long planned Japan trip is finally here! We bought our tickets around Nov 2013 during the Air Asia sales, a couple of return to Osaka. Then we revised our plan, again and again and again, and we got greedy; at the end we decided to both Kansai and Kanto region in 11 days. 

During the planning phase, only 2 of us will be travelling, but as times goes, 2 more innocent travellers decided to join us. Revise everything again to take the best advantage of 4 travellers, sharing cost and such. Talking to our host in Japan, liaising with our friend in Tokyo to make sure everything is settle.

Then we were lucky enough to experience the new KLIA 2 just after few days later from the official launch. 

Snacks booth inside KLIA 2

KLIA 2 was huge, and tiring to walk. However the interior design was OK, just some design flaw of being inconvenient. Tons of potential empty spaces being to utilized. 

Resting bench

Can you see the design of those chair? It is not design to be slept on! Bad choice of chairs for airport., especially for those who decided to overnight in the airport. Guess KLIA 2 want to make extra profit from their hotel services.
