and the female side responded with 21 trays

To both of them,congratulations,and here's a "pantun pesan" for both of you:

"Dari Sibu ke Tanjung Manis,

Jangan lupa singgah di Serdeng,

Bila tiba masa ke Pelamin

Janganlah dilupa jemputannya kelak

Wahai adik dengarlah madah

madah pesanan dari abangmu

Jagalah tutur dan kelakuanmu

Takut dikata orang kelak

Belajarlah apa yang patut

Sebagai bekal dan juga ingatan

Agar dirimu bersedia kelak

Pabila tiba harinya kelak

Ya Allah jagalah mereka

Dari segala buruk perkara

Moga ikatan terus terpahat

Terus hingga ke jinjang pelamin"

Congratulations once again to both of you!

MH retrojet!

At last,the wait is over.

MH officially launched its first retro jet livery,to commemorate the 40th anniversary.The aircraft,B737-8H6 (9M-MXA) is painted with the original colors of MAS during its launching in 1972.

And here are the photo of the aircraft:

And here's the video courtesy from MAS on their Youtube channel:

And here are the timeline of the MH livery since its inception in 1972:

The 'malaysian airline system' title was in blue

The 'malaysian' word was changed to red and bolded,while the 'airline system' remains in blue

Blue was added,and the name was later changed to Malaysia Airlines

A revamp was made to the livery

Another livery was introduced to commemorate the delivery of A380:

However this livery is only applied to the A380; and the A330/B737-800 uses the second livery.

Hopefully MH is considering a second retrojet,and would love to see a A330-300 painted in the red livery.

AirAsia will officially received the 1st A320 fitted with sharklets,and the plane will be re-registered 9M-AQQ.Here's the photo of the plane:

MH2261 (SBW-KCH),29/11/2012

On 29/11,I've went to Kuching (again,for the 3rd time this year),for my eldest brother wedding day.Me,alongside my parents and my aunt.And here are the photos snapped during the flight duration:

B737-4H6 9M-MMZ of MH getting readied for her flight to KUL

My "Remove before Flight" tag

Passengers on the Departure Hall; these were MH passengers,and for the AK side of the departure hall,it was empty as there were no AK flights at the time

Boarding the plane; SBW is now using dual bridgeway; that means 4 aircrafts (B737/A320) can be parked at the same time on the bridgeways.

The "Golden Club' Class seats

View of the Port side

The space was good

Love the safety card new design 

The Air Sickness Bag

Surprised to see a In-flight sale catalog onboard the flight; Is MH really offering In-Flight sales for selected domestic flight?

The models offered on the catalog; Must get myself the B737-800,and also the A330-300 in the old livery.

Another view of MH B737-4H6,9M-MMZ

Any info about this plane is much welcomed
