We live in an age of no frill DIYs known as Do it yourself. Last week I was in H.K. just about coming back to Taipei. I surfed on the internet and found an advertisement said "DIY flight, H.K. to TPE for only NT$ 99". Thinking how can I miss this chance? So I input my credit card number and took the flight number DIY 349 back home.

That was a normal airplane form the outlook. But when I walked in, there were a lot of monitors, buttons and lights. The door even opened automatically for me. Just like when you walk into the space ship.

I noticed that there weren't any flight attendants in the plane, you have to DIY everything. Fortunately the self-help service was user-friendly. To solve the boredom. They even provided a magic screen that said - DIY your Ms./Mr. Right. You can input some attributes to make yur own dream lover. My dream lover looks like Danzel Washington. professional like A1 pacino and humorous like Robin Williams. So I keyed in those attributes.

I touched this and touched that. I had a lot of fun in the plane. Half an hour later. I felt like eating. So I have to D-I-Y my meal.

As I walked toward the kitchen, I heard the radio said, "Passenger Dawn Lin, Passenger Dawn Lin, please come to the captain's room." Guess what. there was no captain in the room. No one was flying the airplane. I went crazy trying to get some help. But I heard the radio said again. "Please be seated and put on the gear, the plane is going to land in 20 minutes." "Dddd., oes it mean I have to Dddd...IY to land the plane?

OK, Toastmasters never say NO to any challenges. I sat down and put on my gear. Hey, it's not difficult flying a plane. You see, every airplane company has a route map like this. Through this magic gear, the routes look exactly the same in the sky. All you have to do is following the route.

10 minutes later. The radio said again "push the red button and get ready to land"  When I pressed the red button, the plane generated a rainbow  down to the ground. You just have to follow the rainbow to land. Get ready?(spring finger)(eeee   huuuuuu, gesture to land the plane)   I DID IT.  I DID IT.  I'M HOME.   I'M HOME.

Actually, I was Reaaaaaally   Hooome.  I found myself landed on the roof of my apartment, This is the real service - home delivery, The radio then said "Thanks for taking DIY 349, We hope to see you soon, Oh, don't forget your dream lover"

My dream lover??  Suddenly, I saw another rainbow reached my roof. Coming down from the airplane was the person looks like ...,  Danz ... Danny  De  Vito. When he saw me, he said "Sorry honey, we ran out of your requested dream lover who was given to the first class passengers. So you get me."  Dear Toastmasters, DIY 349 is indeed worthwhile trying, but make sure you are in the FIRST CLASS.
