inflight service

i would like to add that i observed some of the best inflight service ever on the SAF aircraft to and from banda aceh.

yes, we were served by men in uniform. and not the neatly pressed airsteward types but these men were in jumpsuits and they had their ranks on their sleeves. and they were so nice and polite, greeting everyone as they boarded and deplaned.

and with the help of mercy relief staffers, we were served a late lunch on board the flight home (this was about 3pm) of some local fare - nasi goreng which was quite tasty (but maybe cos i was damn hungry by then, having only had a cheese sandwich, coffee, water and a jagung (corn on the cob - so sweet, and unlike the pale yellow corn we get here, it was bursting with orange-yellow nibs) since 5am.

after the nasi goreng and lemon barley was handed out, the saf guy (dunno his rank tho) served fried chicken wings and some of those fried japanese rolls with that seaweed strip wrapped around. also eddie - the mercy relief staff who oversees the meulaboh project - brought his wife's muruku which was crunchy and delicious and oh-so bad for the throat.

so i arrived in singapore - full stomach, heavy heart
