Front seat for Aeroline

Due to my late booking and their Friday tickets always sell like hot cakes, this round, I have no choice but to take the first seat of this double decker. It gives me a creepy feeling because I basically share the same driving view with the driver.

The foot rest space is so small but luckily still got the power socket
Driver's view ... just a bit higher :)
During the journey, I can see and observe the driver's attitude but sometimes I just can't help myself to forget what if there is accident because I believe the impact will be great, or even throw out of the window. Luckily this is Aeroline so I'm less worry but still, I did buckled up just in case ...

During the SG checkpoint, everything seems good and smooth ... partly because I'm taking earlier coach but things went terribly wrong when approaching MY checkpoint because it was super duper pack, jam and totally went hare wire. It used to be faster and smoother than SG checkpoint but today it's really bad.

You can imagine how bad it was when you can't really queue inside the building. Even if your queue were in the building, the condition is so bad that the immigration officer has to stop validate passport because those validated still stuck at the front desk and couldn't move any forward. This whole process took me almost 30 mins where normally is 5-10 mins! When I can finally reach the end of the queue, guess what? They wanted to scan all luggages, be it small, medium or large but everything will be handle by ONE XRAY SCANNER!!!!!

Yes, you heard me right ... one but there are 10+ buses which could easy carrying couple of hundred passengers. I can understand they want to be strict and efficient but they must have BRAIN as well. Either you should increase the officers and scanners otherwise how can you handle such flow? In addition, it's Friday and most M'sian will go home and foreigners will visit MY, this is excluding those wanted to go into SG because it will still pass thru the same checkpoint. Really respect their babilicious yet 'kaputness' of their strategic planning.

When all that was over, I finally can rest down and enjoy my dinner ... for the 2nd time, Chicken Rice Shop :)
