But for now, I think I'll just enjoy being back in my own home... in front of my com and on my nice comfy bed... Ahh.... it's really good to be back home... nothing else to write... maybe I'll start on the first day...
9th April
The flight was supposed to be at 1030, but it got delayed, and we actually took off only at 11 plus... before that, the flight was already delayed from 8 plus... wonder whether it's cos of all the extra security measures... Anyway, once we took off, we passed over Tekong... since I was sitting at the window just behind the wing, I managed to catch a look at the entire island... saw BMTC, SISPEC, even the old schools and reclaimed land... Hm... it looks so small... ;) Watched Chasing Liberty on the plane... well, it was either that or Something's Gotta Give... Chasing Liberty's about the daughter of the American President, played quite nicely by Mandy Moore, who runs away from her bodyguards in Europe and befriends this English guy who turns out to be a CIA agent tasked to protect her, but ends up falling in love with each other... The usual chick flick... hehe...
Nothing else happened on that 5 hour flight... although the babies did make a fuss for like half the trip... they should put ppl with babies and infants right at the back of the plane... and make that section soundproof... so that no one can hear them when they're screaming their little red heads off... I don't even know why they do that... my mother was saying that we were so quiet when we took our first plane trip when I was an infant... Hm... Anyway, there were no hijacks or anything... hehe...
Then those same infants/babies made even more noise when we were landing... It's like... When the plane is taking off, they're saying 'I don't want to fly!!', then they get used to it and when they land, they're saying 'I don't want to land!!!... Come on... make up your mind!!! As if that's not enough... the immigration clearance at the airport took so long... a 747 full of ppl and only 4 counters open... I think I waited there for 45 mins... but there WAS a silver lining... Got to see a few single chio bus... Hehe... Wah... one was wearing a very nice black top... nice hair... legs... the works... I just kept bio-ing... hehe... Until I got out to the airport departure area... saw her meet her boyfriend there... Chey.. no wonder wear so nice... hehe...
We were supposed to meet this guy at the airport, wearing an orange shirt, to take us to the hotel, thing is, he was there, but our names weren't on the list!! Anyway, he made a few calls and managed to squeeze us in on his mini van... and guess who had to sit on the step on the floor until the first few ppl got out?? Little old me of course... We were the last off the bus... we're always the last ppl to get sent to the hotel... sheesh... anyway, found our room, 1010.... I'm sharing it with my parents... 2 double beds!! I got one whole one to myself... Yay!!! Hee...
By then, it was quite late, so we just went down the road to eat at a nearby KFC... they have these 3 fast food places sharing one space... KFC, Domino's Pizza and Hungry Jacks... which is basically Burger King... so these 3 were sharing one space... while Mac's is just further up, with one whole space to itself!! What a monopoly... hee... Anyway, I saw this 10 yr old kid... finish an entire small pizza!!! I was like... Wah!!! eat so much!! Most probably to stay warm I guess... hee... we took a short walk after that, but not many places were open, cos it was Good Friday... they take their holidays very seriously... so most of the shops were closed.... Saw a shop selling car models... might want to drop by there on of those days next time... hee... Anyway, we went back to the hotel, washed up and I just watched TV, while waiting for my sis to come by... she's joining us for tmr's day trip to Albany... and I just really KO-ed once we swtiched off the lights... didn't wake up till the next day...
Well... that's it for Day 1... I'll do day 2 tmr... ;)
