Now Everyone Can Fly

Back in the 80s, when we were young, flying to anywhere in the world is a dream to everyone. Anyone who are able to fly anywhere, even a single trip out of our country is deemed a rich person for the price for an air ticket plus the accommodation and expenses in other people's country was beyond our imagination. Most of the people had their first flying experience in their twentys when they go overseas to further their studies.

Thanks to globalization and our own Dato' Tony Fernandes, now everyone can fly. Nowadays, it is just a matter of decision of driving, taking a train, or flying to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur. The most common of people, namely us, can even afford to fly. First-time flying experience is granted to children, or in some cases, even infants.

We plan to drive to Singapore this Saturday, leaving our two boys at my mother's house. The first question W asked my this morning was what time is my flight? Hmm, I should not be surprised by his question, should I? Flying has become so common that the modern children never even think twice of flying. Any flying experience is like a day-to-day experience that is not much to look forward to.

For me, someone who experienced her first flying experience in her twentys, flying is still a fun thing to do, even if it is a fifty minute flight.
