thai iced tea

I’ve always wondered why Air Asia has these red covers on some seats and not others…can someone help clarify this so I can sleep better at night?
For our Bangkok trip, we flew with Air Asia! Asma’ was all “I know LCCT at the back of my hand”, so I just followed her lead. And we were busy eating 1901 hotdogs and that crepe thingy (I loveee how they have these food booths right at the waiting area!), and suddenly..
“Can these passengers please identify themselves…Asma’…Vivy…”
!!!
I’ve NEVER had my name called out in the airport. So freaking embres….Don’t believe Asma’ anymore.
Anyway since we were late, we went right to the back where they had three empty seats together. We were thinking, “SWEETTTT…A lot of space for US!!” And we settled ourselves smiling, thinking we had the best deal amongst everyone else on the plane.
Umm no…There’s a reason why no one wants to sit at the back. The seats don’t recline. AT ALL! So we ended up trying to sleep doing all sorts of arms-flying legs-bending yoga poses.
And the static hair thingy on planes. Why does it happen?!!
Since we couldn’t sleep ,we started brainstorming on FV and this is a sketch Asma’ made…
It’s a top, apparently. Not sure what kind…
Finally we were about to land.
I’m the type that dreads landing. I actually suck in and hug my tummy and just berzikir like no other when I’m about to land anywhere. I did the same for this trip.
Then I looked to my right…
…..cannot bring anywhere this girl…
We arrived at the hotel, freshened up and off we went for back to back meetings.
Got to take some pictures throughout the day, of course. It’s a must! We were tourists after all…
At this place called Coffee Bean by Dao in Siam Paragon mall – a MUST-go if you are ever in Bangkok.. the food there is sooooo goood!!!!! I would fly to Bangkok just for the curry fried kuey teow again…
So tired the first day we just couldn’t be bothered to eat anywhere else but in bed. I hardly ever order room service because I’ve always been taught that room service is a luxury (it’s so expensive!) so we ordered the cheapest meals on the menu that would still satisfy our grumbling stomachs.
Early morning breakfast. Breakfast was by the river and it was so nice! The weather was breezy, the sun was out, it wasn’t raining…
But I didn’t enjoy breakfast! It sucks that hotels abroad don’t cater for halal meat, so all I could have were the boring fruit stuff. No sausage or beef bacon 🙁
I had a little complimentary birthday cake!! But the wind was blowing so they tried everything to keep the candle lit. Eh whatever la, I just want to eat the cake!
Last meal in Bangkok at the airport. (I didn’t drink anything but Thai iced tea there – so yums – we need more of these in Malaysia! The authentic Thai kind…)
My new favourite obsession. I wouldn’t share this with anyone.
U looked glowy abess in the pics la babe *jeles*
Gula-gula Rabbit.Teringat masa kecil-kecil.Heyyy,bestnye naik plane.Asma’s so excited through the exciting adventure.hahahah
i love the way u look in the picture yang ada hello kitty tu! omg u are so gorgeous okay! and the top, i love it!
Eh i thought there’s chemical thingy in that rabbit candy. I stopped eating it years ago. Maybe you can google abt it.
I would say something negative about Air Asia but karma has already bit me once and I don’t want it to bite my twice! Anyway, I’m hoping to see more stuff going on Fashion Valet. So far all the stuff are very very girly which is GOOD but not everyone is. =S I’ll keep waiting. hehe.
Have to agree that Thai Iced Tea is awesome! I think they add some evaporated milk to it, not so sure though. The rabbit candy, do you prefer to eat the candy, or the edible wrapper inside? 😛
Red seats = Hot seats.
If I’m not mistaken, its because of it’s easy access to exit points (And in case of emergency), perhaps roomier? 🙂
Yes you’re welcome PD, you can sleep better now. 😀
Can’t really see it (using mobile), hope I’m explaning right. Those are called ‘hot seats’, ‘special’ seats – passengers who book those seats can board earlier/at time desire.

If anything, u already have my contact, ask away 😉
i love love love those candies!! i can eat the whole pack all by myself.. did you know they came in red bean flavour as well???
the seats with red covers are hot seats.
they pay extra rm25 for it.
x tau apa yang special.
maybe because seat tu kat depan2 kot.
sori kalo salah info. i used to love that candy too, but there was a time yg masa sibuk dgn issue melamine-in-milk kat china tuh, that candy also included. but candy tu mmg sedap.
hot seats…mm….the one in front coz it’s with plenty of leg space, the other red ones are near the wing…also more leg space i think….
you gals know the rabbit sweets are the one in the tainted melamine incident from China right?…not sure how is the issue now…but still, better be safe…
Yup, hot seats

i was granted the red seat along with my 5 friends from langkawi to kl. we didnt even pay extra. they called up our seat numbers and there! we were there. it was just near the emergency exit , anything goes wrong ,, u get to bungee jump first 😉
you look amazing gorgeous…and asma suit you well, hehehehe…but the rabbit candy, i really enjoy it when i was a kid, right now it’s hard to find for me…btw, i really agree with vincent, the rabbit candy is one in the list of melamine issue last year…you try to search i’m sure you’ll find the list…better check first maybe the issue is settled now…take care vivy, can’t wait the muslimah outfit in fashionvalet…
i really love those creamy candies too. but i heard that it was contaminated with melanine and also formaline!
asma is fun! (not that u aren’t vivy) hahahaha!
hahaha i miss the rabbit candy… 🙂
PD, I agree with ija_azriza’s comment on rabbit candy. I remembered reading somewhere on the melamine issue in rabbit candy.please check ya !
OMG!!viyy..dat candy used to be my fav when i was kid.but hardly find it at any grocery now.gimme some plz!!
hey!thai iced tea is very nice also.i can teach u how to make it yourself so dat u can enjoy it everyday!its so easy.trust me!=)
Red covers identify what some readers already mentioned, Hot Seats. On smaller flights (i.e. non Air Asia X flights), these are also where the emergency EXITs are. So if you get those seats, and should an emergency occur, you will need to be able to assist people off the plane before saving yourself or something like that :p
Kesian, this must be an old plane which they have not change! I flew with non reclining seats once,……to Melbourne FML!
I have found a temp solution for static hair on plane (because I get static everywhere I go but on clothes!). Get some leave in conditioner, or make sure you use conditioner (like leave it on for 10-15 minutes) when you shower before you depart for the airport.
Melamine candy! Ah well. We already ate it for donkey years, a few more melamine rabbit sweets aren’t gonna be that much more harmful haha!
ok nuff nonsense, have a Merry Christmas Vivy and Asma!
the red covers are for hot seats. lately i selalu dapat hot seat tu but i didnt pay for it. lucky me?
I love white rabbit candy!! Nyum nyum!!
Anyway, you are ALWAYS looking good! Not a hair out of place (minus the static hair thingy :P)!
*hate you but I love you*
yes, red covers are for the hot seat. normally if i`m flying back to Perth, ramai orang try luck nak tdo atas hot seat but later kena halau hehehehe…
hi vivy! those red seats are for hot seats! people with hot seats can board first, and the ones in front row 1-5 get served food first, and can disembark first! the ones in the middle have roomier leg room cause the seats are at the emergency exit, but they dont recline. plus you need to pay extra bucks for these seats. its like first class in airasia! 😀

vivy, u were once being called at the airport because of a Dior bag, remember? and..psst..the last time i remember the rabbit sweets have issues on melamine content. but i don’t know the latest status though.
Both u n Asma are just like my friend Ina Hamzah and I 😛 we always have fun together. We fool around all the time! The almost miss our flight incident at the airport is just sooo us! 🙂 looking forward to more new stuff at FV babes. And don’t forget to include Asma’s creation 🙂 eat ur arnab putih puas2.
hehehe, i’ve had white rabbit since my primary school days. classic! 🙂
this entry is so funny!
n m keep on imagining how giler Asma is!
she must be fun to be with kan!
you stayed at shangri-la bangkok?!
