My Holidays - Part 1(LCCT)

I had my holidays during the company shut down period, started from 25th to 4th Jan, more than 10 days.Since having so many days off, i made a trip to China to visit Poo daddy, via Air Asia.
First time stepped on LCCT, and i was stunned with this low cost terminal. Well, no other words describe the best than "Low cost". It is crowded...dimmed...noisy and hot, I wondered if the air-con was funtioning.It looks more like a bus station than air plane terminal, maybe my expectation is rather high for "airport".
They do not separated the gates. When there is announcement for boarding, flight delays, calling for passengers.....etc, the whole floor can hear....Imagine if there are 2 announcements done simultaneously...u will never hear correctly and it's so annoying when the anouncement is made.
The is no information panel for passengers to check if the flight is on time...boarding gate...or delay. You can only see the destination info on the LCD in front of the gate, and this could be wrong if there are changes..Like my case, they have changed gate from P14 to P10, but never showed on the LCD in front of the gate.
I hate the chairs that provided are not comfortable, the back to back arrangement are too close, i don't like to have such close contact.There are rubbish everywhere under the chair. Thanks to those uncivilized people, i do not understand, there are so many dustbins provided, can't they just walk a few steps to throw the rubbish?
There are so limited shops, if i'm not wrong, there are only 2 shops plus one coffee station.i almost fainted when i saw there are only few tables avaible in the coffee station, and it's all occupied, where the hell i can go to spend my 3 hours transit time?if i were to know this i would have to bring a book to read....
At the end, i sat on the chair in front of the gate looking at people passing by for 3 hours...

Ok, boarding time annoucement made.....everyone rushed to the door. Gosh, those Chinese people from China.....pushed....squeezed .... in order to get to the front. I really want to say !@#!@#...

I really really hope that Air Asia can have seating arrangement according to ticket number instead of free seating. Everyone will be diciplined and not juggling to make sure they can have the best seat that they want. I read from the Air Asia Jan magazine taht they will provide service to pre-select seat. I think this is a very good news for frequent flyers.

My journey started with an awful experience at LCCT.......
