I had a very disappointing dream. I needed to get to Ngong quickly. I knew I wouldn’t make it by car in time, so I grabbed a flight at Wilson. It was a Cessna type plane. Not that I know much about plane types but I had watched a documentary on NatGeo and they kept talking about the Cessna, ikastick.

So I get into the plane, find a comfortable seat next to the window, plug in my earphones and put on some Nicki Minaj, playing The Night is Still Young.

The plane taxis on the runway, picks up speed then slows down. I didn’t really bother. I was on my phone playing Candycrush. Nilipita ile level by the way. What caught my attention, was when I felt the plane bump like it had hit a bump…. And what do you knowww… It HAD hit a bump, ika signal left ikatoka kwa gate na ikaingia Langata road, kwa traffic. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WE PILOT WACHA UJINGA MAZEE!

Ati now we were there in traffic tumekwama, then the pilot ata hana haya, he says “niitishie lane hapo kwako”. I open the window, stick out my hand and a stupid probox refuses to give way. Nkt!

I woke up. Phew! Then I find hakuna stima ikabidi nioge na bucket. Nkt! The only fun part is the ice bucket challenge maji moto version. Yaani you jimwagilia that maji moto mpaka germs, that 1% that Dettol always lengas, zusha “wacha madharau. Sometimes you need to a bit more considerate. We have a right to be here…”
