here i am...at MAS lounge in KLIA...waiting for my connection flight to Amsterdam.
the deal is, if i go direct using SIA from Singapore, it will be on economy.
and since the project that i am working on is a malaysian deal, so everything has to be from KL if i want to fly business class.
so discriminatory....sigh! 2 more hours in this boring lounge.
see you, in the netherlands...again!
