  Alrdy Firefly started flights bet Ipoh & Singapore last yr le.. But only 3 times a week.

  Somemore tat's e only flight using Ipoh for now. How exclusive.

  In any case, Firefly flies 5 times daily to and fro Singapore & KL versus 2x daily flights to JB.

  I'm feeling down

  At this time I should be suiting up for the Sundown Marathon, but that last-minute flu attack has scuppered all my plans.

  I'm no longer feverish, but no way in hell can I run a full marathon with clogged lungs and nasal passages....
