A chance to go to Singapore by air was an exciting thought. Previously, we
had been going by car and now came the day when I could experience the
feeling of being airborne.
After the checking in and the baggage formalities, we waited for a while
before our flight was announced. The MAS plane, an airbus, was waiting on
the runway and soon I found myself on board. After fixing my seat-belt, I
looked through the window and waited for the plane to take off. I was
extremely excited.
At first, the engine roared and then I felt the plane moving. It was
still on the runway as it accelerated and then, in
a flash, we were lifted off above Subang Airport, right into the
clouds. It was a thrilling experience as I looked down and saw houses that
resembled miniature toy-houses. Then, as we headed towards the hills and the
forests, I was struck by the sight of the winding
rivers and the lush green tropical
scenery below.
Soon, we reached the southern tip of Johore. The sea was as still as a
lake, with tiny boats scattered near the shores. I quickly finished my cold
drink and waited for the landing at Changi Airport. As the plane descended,
I felt a bump and knew that we had landed. The entire flight lasted only 40
minutes. My first air trip was truly a memorable one. |
