Trail in the sky

I took this picture in the school. One of the students asked me about the line across the sky. It was actually caused by a jet which just passed by. Like cars, jets have exhaust, which is the gas or vapor that is created when an engine burns fuel. When the exhaust escapes from a jet engine, it leaves a trail in the sky. It is freezing cold very high in the sky and the stripes the jets leave behind are ice crystals and cooled water. The water droplets and ice crystals are very light, so they can actually float in the sky! They are also called “vapor trail” or “contrail.”

JB getaway 2010 Meldrum Hotel

First time staying in a budget hotel, Meldrum Hotel @RM130 for deluxe with one queen and one single bed (only RM90 if it it is a superior with 2 single beds). It is located just opposite one of my favourite wanton mee stall near to Merlin tower. I went to get my medicine from the pharmacy and then shopped at City Square. I bought the Maxis prepaid broadband sim card at RM8.80 and top up RM5 as the stored value is only RM4 and the cost of the one day broadband is at RM8. I must say it is really worth it as I can also make phone call to Singapore with the sim card too! I actually paid RM30 for a day access to broadband in one of the hotels - should have bought this if I had knew about it. It will expire in 3 months but I can continue to use it if I top up the value within the 3 months. Took a cab to Jusco Bukit Indah in the evening and had the Thai massage.as well as bought 2 t-shirts from FOS. Bad choice as it was so difficult to get a cab from there. The taxi fare to Jusco Bukit Indah was less than RM20 as he took the highway (with toll) and we reached there within 20 mins. The return trip took us almost an hour and cost RM22! Had dinner along the lane - was surprised that many had already packed up at 1030 pm!
