X-citing surprise from RED AirAsia X OSAKA Double Decker bus

Hope you are having better luck with the weather at where you are. Kuala Lumpur has been having rain these past few days and it is raining as we speak.

The north-east monsoon season has started in Malaysia, so if you are visiting this part of the world at this time of the year, may I suggest you also pack an umbrella or you could buy one here. Umbrellas are plentiful here and are not too pricey too. You can find them at most shops and shopping complexes. The foldable type would be more convenient to have around. A raincoat might work better though umbrellas are more widely used and easily available if you need one.

Now here is something for you if you are in KL or PJ (Petaling Jaya). Caught this tweet from AirAsia that says:

[MALAYSIA] If you're in KL or PJ today, spot the #AirAsia X OSAKA Double Decker bus & be in for an X-citing surprise!

And from the AirAsia Facebook page..

If you're in Kuala Lumpur & Petaling Jaya today, there's no better way to welcome the weekend!

Keep an eye out for the sizzling RED AirAsia X OSAKA Double Decker bus, join in the fun and participate in the activities (& catch a glimpse of our Red Hot Cabin Crew!) and you'll be in for an X-citing surprise!

There you have it. Keep a lookout for the bus and join in the fun and activities. An X-citing surprise awaits!

AirAsia HQ remains in Malaysia

It's a misinterpreted message after all, so AirAsia Bhd headquarters will remain rooted in Malaysia though a representative office will be set up in Jakarta to drive the Asean integration agenda.

“Nothing changes. AirAsia's head office is in Malaysia and our listing is on Bursa Malaysia,'' AirAsia group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said in an SMS from London yesterday.
