Off to KLIA again on the ERL using a return ticket, paid with Diners Club.
Managed to use the free KLIA Wifi for a few emails prior to departure.
Lunch was only served at 2pm (Malaysian time) 1hr 50mins after the takeoff.
First time encountered a faulty WC on the Airbus A340 with a 2-4-2 configuration.
Food was fair with 1 lunch and 1 refreshment served prior to touchdown in Manama, Bahrain.
Managed to squeeze in 3 in-flight movies on the pathetic 6 inch LCD.
Watched: Shortcut to Happiness (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Bourne Ultimatum (Julia Stiles) and Stardust (Claire Danes). Yeah, I only noted the female stars!
Landed in Manama about 3pm (Manama time) Transited for 90 minutes before boarding GF514 at Gate 16 for Doha at 5pm. The departure lounge has a Chilli's outlet. More expensive though!
Detected a few Wifi base stations but couldn't connect. Managed to get a 3 pin plug point to charge the notebook until 95% charged status.
Arrived safely in Doha at 545pm on the Airbus A320 (3-3 config) with only a serving of orange juice and a pack of tidbits prepacked in England!
Immigration was swift with the renovated terminal building. Entry for Malaysians is now QR100 providing a 1 month visa.
Was fetched by my new colleague here in his patriotic left hand drive grey Waja.
Scooted off to the Adam Residences apartment. Located at: Lat: 25.2825° Lon: 51.5417°
Nice cosy place nestled on the 5th floor, with a small 20 m pool at the Mezzanine level. After settling in and introduce to 2 new buddies, we went downstairs to catch some grub for dinner. As the nearby Kebab shop was already patronised earlier, the only other option was the Indian restaurant next door, unless you wanted to exercise your appetite another block away.
So the Rolex restaurant provided us with some good food and of course, I took my fresh mango juice.
After tucking in to a QR 44 meal for 3 (which is reasonable, considering the amount we took), we strolled back to the apartment within 5 minutes!
Took a nice warm shower and checked some email! Luckily the apartment has got broadband! Very convenient! Speed ranges from 1 Kb/s to 70Kb/s depending on what time you log in!
Note that the time difference of 5 hours took it's toll on my sanity, and I had to get into bed (super single size) by 1030pm! Good nite!
