Both me and my husband have saved up enough money, so we went to Malaysia for a 2-week vacation.
We've booked our flight a month in advance, so there is no need to worry about higher prices.
It's our first visit to the country, and we are excited and nervous at the same time, especially with how different the culture is from what we have in Australia.
Luckily, we'll be going with a tour guide to lead us through the city and explore much of the tourist spots.
My family and I cannot wait for such an amazing trip, so at the day of 12th February, we were picked up by my brother and arrived to the airport.

Skipping over check-in and security, the most boring part of travelling, we finally made it to the plane!
As a family of cheapskates, we obviously flew economy, so most of the flight was dull: killing the time by sleeping and eating the prepackaged airplane food.
And of course, Mel████ didn't finish even half of her meal, so I was quite full after that.
Oh, I almost forgot something that's a little dreadful, which is how I almost dropped Mel████'s leftover food onto the aisle.
Since we're consisted of four people, I sit apart from my wife, who has to take care of the kids.
So, that means she needs to pass it over to me by reaching out to me.
When she tried doing that, something happened.

[12/2/15 8:49]: Mother: Oi, Je████! Can you finish Mel████'s meal?
[12/2/15 8:50]: Father: What? Why can't you finish it yourself?
[12/2/15 8:50]: Mother: I'm already full (since I ate some too).
[12/2/15 8:50]: Father: Sigh, fine. Pass it to me.

[12/2/15 8:50]: Father: Oh, shi—
[12/2/15 8:50]: Mother: Honey, be careful!
[12/2/15 8:50]: Announcement: Ladies and gentleman, we're currently experiencing an unexpected turbulence. Please bear with us as our...

[12/2/15 8:50]: Announcement: ...keep your seatbelts fastened and remain seated until we announce that it is safe to move about in the cabin. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thank you.
* Shaking escalates *
[12/2/15 8:52]: Father: Fi███, are those two kids okay?
[12/2/15 8:52]: Mother: Shh... they're sleeping right now.

That was one hell of a dreadful, dreadful flight, so we quickly took our luggage and headed for lunch in the airport.
After a while, we finally decided to go to Macca's since the kids, well, they were still not fond of eating the local food yet.
Exhausted, we went to check in our hotel, and it's the largest one in the world!
We decided to stay in our room for a few hours to rest before we went to the numerous malls in the city to go shopping.
By 8 p.m., we had finished our shopping spree, had dinner at a food court, and we were ready to go back to our hotel again.
We'd be going to the theme parks near our hotel tomorrow—it will be a great day!
Crashed into bed, and our two toddlers kept waking us up overlooking the windows.
There are gardens, amusement parks, playgrounds, dining areas, you name it!
2012 when we went to Singapore before our daughter was born was great, we hope we can replicate it today.

6th Annex: The Malaysian ICAO
6th Annex: The Malaysian ICAO
 
Issued by the Malaysian ICAO Annex 6 Investigation Team for AK521
== 13 February, 2015 ==
=== i. Synopsis ===
On 12th February 2014, AirAsia flight AK521, a scheduled passenger flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur, momentarily disappeared from all radars and communication systems after an attempted communication with Australian Air Traffic Control (ATC). The aircraft operating under Flight 521 was an Airbus A330-300, registered as 9M-ANS. There were 215 occupants on board, consisting of 14 crew members and 201 passengers.
Available radars and satellite communications determined that the aircraft did not experience any difficulties, and the flight crew did not exhibit strange behavior throughout the flight. However, about 2 hours and 45 minutes into the flight, the aircraft experienced unusual turbulence on the east side of the Indian Ocean ≈ 700 kilometers off the coast of Australia. The aircraft subsequently disappeared from all radars and satellite communications during this turbulence for more than an hour before reappearing on the Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast ADS-B at 11:10:43 a.m. ≈ 130 kilometers off the coast of Sumatra.
Initial reports received directly from persons on board indicated that they experienced a total loss of communication but did not experience any turbulence following 8:50 a.m. However, analysis of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) proved unfruitful, as the data recorded throughout the 2-hour and 45-minute disappearance window were mostly corrupted and/or contained erroneous readings. Physical damage, improper maintenance, environmental conditions, and power supply interruptions have been ruled out to be the cause of such data corruption. Other factors such as software/hardware malfunctions and electromagnetic interferences (EMI) have been posited, although later examinations reveal EMIs to be the most likely culprit.
In adherence with international conventions, the investigation of the aircraft's operations during its flight is conducted under Annex 6 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) in Annex 6 are applied in Malaysia through Part XII of the Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulations (MCAR) 1996. Parties responsible for the investigation include the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ASTB), the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), AirAsia, and Airbus.
The investigation concluded several factors that likely contributed to the aircraft's total disappearance and/or unusual turbulence, which were:
* The flight crew may have not noticed natural phenomena such as microbursts, jet streams, etc. caused by sudden and severe atmospheric conditions.
* Technical failures of the aircraft's surveillance equipment due to sudden power loss from the turbulence, although unlikely.
* Intentional/unintentional interruptions from unauthorized third parties that deliberately jam the aircraft's hardware and software can result in degraded or disrupted surveillance capabilities.

=== i. Background ===
13th February 2015: Two housekeepers of Sumatran origins in the First World Hotel reported cases of "visual disturbances" on the hallways outside and inside the rooms. The complaints were also made by workers at the Genting Highlands Water Treatment Plant 1.6 kilometers away; further cases of the similar disturbance were felt throughout the area, although they were mostly negligible.
Entire polygonal sections of walls were described to be coated with a backdrop of "the night sky full of stars," and singular objects that came into contact with the occultation simply phased into it. The area was evacuated immediately by the officials of the attraction upon learning that it had spread. Nearby devices during this time area experienced electromagnetic interference coming from within the walls of the hotel. No fatalities have been reported.

A CCTV-captured audio translated into a .txt transcription involving a conversation of a group of hotel staff soon before the discovery of the unusual contamination. The conversation was originally spoken in Indonesian, although it was translated into English for international purposes. Under the mayor's request, Ahmad Phesal Talib, the original CCTV footage and audio remains confidential.
