Joy Ride onboard CX711

wat was originally a 3.5hour flight to colombo turned how to be a "joyride" at the wrong time of the day. As the cabin lights dimmed; i tot i might as well take a quick nap on board my flight yesterday evening for my first "proper" meditation retreat. As a typical spoiled city dweller mumbling to myself over the over-cooked vegetables on my inflight vegetarian meal; i was too restless to cat nap; let alone sleep even though i was given one of the bext seat ever on a flight! i call it the "excutive economy class" with no seats in front of me and just behind the business class.
About 30mins more to go before the decend; i went to the toilet umpteen times and ask the stwardress "how much longer" (i never liked taking flights; the confined space, the noise, the cabin pressure and the dry air). She cooly replied 1 more hour...Mmmm...i tot we are already been in the air long enough...so i went back to my seat..turn on the cute gadget below my seat(as there aint seats in front of mine) and watch the "flight progress animation"..dats when i found something strange....the cartoon of our plane is actually flying AWAY from colombo!!!
My first tot was maybe we flew too fast so got to pollute the environment more before we can land...but barely 5 mins after that..there was an annoucement by the captain...telling us that we WILL NOT be landing in colombo and the airport was closed indefitely...
Many tots ran through my heads and among them innocent lives will be lost(not mine lah). As i read the news on the Net...we were almost live-targets for sri lanka's air force anti-aircraft artellery! The rest is history...
Just for the record, the airline company called us this morning we can board tonite's flight and WE are going!(apart from 3 who feels this is just too much in a day)
And guess wat? my aircon was left on when i returned home weary and disorientated at 5am...
