Could not
resist blogging since I am so so so bored in the plane. There is like another 3
hours. That means that I have endured a good part of the journey already. :( I
have absolutely nothing to do. I thought I would have something to do but I
realized that I do not have much. My handcarry bag is so heavy because of idk
what. But it was very heavy. :( I won’t forget that my knees were SOOOOO tired
because I stood there for a good part of the time so still that I did not move.
To top everything off, I was standing in the queue for about 2 hours. I cleared
the check-in only 2 ½ hours later. (and that was after I had done a web
check-in. Can you imagine how long more I would have to stand in the queue?! I
really got to thank my lucky stars for getting me to do the web check-in.
Needless to say, my flight was delayed by an hour. I was honestly expecting it
to be delayed even longer. By the time I cleared the check-in all I wanted to
do was sit down and have my bagel. I didn’t even want to shop anymore.
*there goes
last minute shopping*
Seriously,
I was so tired that I didn’t even mind sitting at Hudsons Coffee & eating
ALONE. I just wanted to SIT DOWN. Alright it might help that the café was quite
empty. Hahaha. But I was really very tired. I kept complaining to Melvin and
Sherman who happened to message me.
I think
someone up there is training me to be more patient because I would probably
have to queue this way in sg. *thinks about the supermarkets in sg* - a great
reason to miss Melbourne. But seriously? Do it when I have someone to entertain
me please! Not when I am alone and feel awkward and refuse to make any friends!
:( then I went to check twitter and woohoo! My predicament was featured in the
papers. Okay not really papers, but The Age reported it on their online paper.
Apparently the system crashed for Virgin Airways (I think only domestic),
JetStar (GRRRR), & Tiger Airways (no surprise for me – I am biased against
Tiger for a reason; I was a very unhappy customer of theirs.) And so, it has to
happen on the day that I decided to fly back home. Melvin’s exact words “You
very heng ah” – what kind of boyfriend is this!
At least I
am on the plane now and my flight is not cancelled. Gracious me, I think I
would be so stunned, then scared, then upset, then I will start crying!
*such a bad
experience for first time flying alone* - oh but think of the good side
- They did
not bother to check my weight. I think they did but they did not say anything.
Whahaha!
- They did
not tear my ticket at all! Which means I still have an intact ticket yay!
- They were
SOOOO polite and kept apologizing! i hate repetitive apologies, but when they
are sincere it’s just so different! Then again, I’m biased towards JetStar :)
If the same thing happened with Tiger Airways, I bet I would be sulking at
them. Then again, I don’t ever throw tantrums when I am alone because I hate
attention so I might not. “possibilities of cursing inwardly is another thing”
And
everyone was like so nice. No one made a fit or anything like that. They were
all patiently waiting. While I was waiting, I was thinking about what would
happen if it happened in Singapore. Within half an hour I bet there would be
complaints already. That might just be my stereotype formed. Putting things in
another perspective, would the people here react differently if this happened
in Singapore? Or would they conform to the society’s culture and do what
Singaporeans typically do? Damn, stop thinking about psychology already.
I got the
aisle seat! Thanks to web check-in, I can select my own seat HAHAHA! Have I
listed enough benefits for people to do a web check-in? it is so convenient,
takes up less than 10 minutes of your time, and can save up to 30-1hour or even
more of waiting at the airport, leaving you ample time to do some last minute
shopping, unless you are suay like me, who had a flight on the day when the
system crashed. Even in such circumstances, you are in the priority queue
because you did the web check-in! usually they open 1 counter for this queue I
think, but today they opened 2! And since web check-in can be done like 48
hours before you fly, I bet everyone has enough time, even if you do last min
packing like me,
I realized
I can babble a lot when I am bored. I just typed so many words and it is only
about the airport to the plane. I did not even talk about any other things.
But guess
what, that was 20 minutes closer to Singapore already! HOHOHO.
And now I
shall start blogging about interesting experiences
*warning!
usually revolves around food*
1. I have
been so out of touch with running man! Instead, I am catching up on Big Bang
Theory, which is seriously hilarious by the way. And isn’t it so coincidental?
They have a new season (5) like a few days after my birthday! HAHAHAHA.
Shelldon is damn funny and cute. He is so anal that I find him hilarious.
According to Freudian theory of development, it could be related to him not
being able to transit into the phallic stage, which might have caused this
‘anal character’ of his. By the way I think Freud is a very scary person and I
see his name everywhere.
Although I
have not been talking, I am currently very thirsty! :(

Ended paper
rather early and I went to do some last minute shopping. It was so tiring. I
had a headache at the end of it and I didn’t even want to shop anymore. This
always happens to me. I really hate looking at clothes when there are too many,
and none of them catch my eye. That is why I hate shopping – to some extent.
Talk to me about baking instead please. My eyes will sparkle hahaha!
Met Melvin
for dinner at rose garden after that! We haven’t been to that place for so
long! I think I will miss Classic Curry Company btw. It is so yummy! Never knew
I would like indian food HAHAHA.
I realized
I cant blog now. Because Idk what happened. I have to look at the photos to
decide what I had done on that day. Apparently my phone is idiotic. It was 100%
and then got depleted like till 50 plus% but after I off-ed it and on-ed it
again, it was 15%. Ah just as well, I don’t have network coverage haha. Oh
while I was on the plane, and we were above the clouds, the clouds were SOOOOO
CUTE! I totally imagined Sun Wu Kong and
those Chinese olden drama that starred deities lazing around on the clouds! SO
FLUFFY!
And as I
type this I am thinking of the cat on the marshmallow. How I said if I were
small, I would sleep on a marshmallow and eat it when I wake up. HAHAHA I think
it is funny, even if no one thinks so.
