I jolted awake. The lights were glaring. The low hum of the plane's engine brought me back to reality. At the same time, the announcement come over the public address system announcing that the plane was about to land at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and asking all passengers to stow away their tray tables and to put their seats upright. The window shades were raised and even more glaring light flooded the cabin. It was late in the afternoon. As I sat back waiting for the last vestiges of sleep to clear, thoughts about the fortnight that had just gone by came rushing by. The fortnight had gone by almost in a blur. Almost.
