Travel Log - Day 0

Day 0 - 25 July 08

SGT 0630hr: Home to Airport
I woke up.. Looking at dear's face while he was still sleeping. I'm gonna miss this sight for quite some time.

SGT 0710hr
We left the house, and set off for Terminal 3. Me, G and my mum.

SGT 0745hr: Changi Airport
Arrived at T3 & Check-in.
Meet up my brothers, da sao and Bin Bin.
Bin Bin acting nonchalent, ignore me.

SGT 0815+hr
Met up with Cat.
She brought me an Eeyore to accompany me during the long flight.
Bin Bin started to be close with me, COS OF EEYORE. ROAR.
Bro1 was expecting and waiting for some tearful farewell..
But of course, that will hardly happen.
My mum's a strong person, or at least she managed to suppress her feelings.
For me, I inherited from her...
Except for showing my true self of upset and worried to my dear giggy.


SGT 0845hr
Bought some weird Merlion chocs.
Super troublesome to carry that one whole bag all the way till San Frans.
Where I meet my check-in luggage, and chucked it in..


SGT 0850hr
Finally went into the glass doors. Erh. I don't know what you call that.
It's been too long since I last take a plane.
Really huh.. Got abit lost in the clearing custom and security check part..
Really monkey see monkey do.


SGT 0905hr
I reached my gate.
And while I nearly joined in the queue to the plane.
Dear called me and made me cry. Haha.
Don't make me miss you so much, can?
Cos everytime think of you and my mum, my tears just well up lor.
Crybaby. ARGH.


SGT 0915hr: SQ16 - Singapore to Seoul
Boarded. Seated. And ready to go.
Bye Singapore. I teared again.
But when I think that I worked so hard to gain opportunity for this trip, I'm proud of myself.

Silly dear kept making me miss him more.
For the past week, one day, he asked me to go online and chat on MSN when possible.
Another day, he told me he had counted the number of weekends he gonna spend without me.
A total of 8. I didn't even count lah!
3 out of 8, he's doing ICT.
1 weekend, he gotta go book us a holiday.
Erh.. Whatever..
"Dear-less" weekends aren't that difficult, especially that you are still in Singapore.
Family and friends are still there with you.
I fear for the weekends that my colleague will not be here anymore.
I really got no plans as to where to go, what to do.


SGT 1600hr: Icheon International Airport (Transit)
I've arrived at Icheon Int'l Airport.
Flight to leave at 1620hr. But end up only started boarding at about 1700hr.

The flight to Korea wasn't very pleasant.
I was seated next to Korean guy.
Like what Siang said about typical Korean guys.
MCP.
He totally can't stand the sight of me getting across him to my seat and to toilet.
Can't really the super duper buay song look.
And kuku me plug my headphones to the wrong port.
He stared at me.
Come on lah. Talk or something.
Buay tahan. Can't speak English? At least not the tmd sucky look on his face lah.
And coming back from the toilet...
Cos the front seat actually adjusted the seat further back..
So totally no space to go..
And dumb him hugged his both legs up..
Making the space between his legs and the seat in front to be more cramp lah..
I'm very sure, if he just left his legs on the floor...
I won't have a problem getting back to my seat.
Very rudely, cos we are stucked in the situation...
He banged very hard on the seat in front of him..
Poor indian auntie must have loads of question marks on her head.
Rude. Very RUDE. And not very handsome also. ROAR.


SGT 1700hr: SQ16 - Seoul to San Francisco
Boarding the SQ16 again.
I cleared the counter at the airport..
So walked into the walkway leading to the door of the plane.
I was stopped again, for another round of security check in the walkway..
Where I opened my bag and let them search through for any bombs or threatening items.
I happily walked to my door..
And stucked, when the air-stewardess at the door asked to look at my boarding pass.
Flipping through all the papers sandwiched in my passport..
That's the only paper that had went missing!!!
What the..........!!!!

Thankfully the steward asked if I remembered my seat..
And allowed me to board the plane, while they attend to my missing pass..
Minutes before everyone started to settle down,
A lady from the land crew came to my seat, and passed me my boarding pass.
Wah... So heng lor...

It was this that happen, that caused me to do drastic means to reduce the sandwich in my passport..
Not too drastic actually.. just to chuck unnecessary papers temporarily in my pouch...


SGT 1710hr
My neighbour in the flight changed from a Korean guy to a Korean lady.
Thank god he ended his trip at Korea.
Things are much better now..

However, the air stewardess is like not very experienced, as compared to the previous one.
Erh... Erh.. No comments.
Just that you can really feel the difference between one with experience and one without..

To Jac, I hope you are the pro by now okayz....
Don't serve someone with sprite and insisted that it's coke! haha..
That's like a total disaster....


SGT 1830hr
My stomach started grumbling.
I'm HUNGRY!
I think the peanuts from earlier on, made the hunger came early.
And it made my dry throat worse...

Not too sure when the meal will be served..
But I thought while waiting, I shall just write some journal and watch some movies instead.


SGT 1900++hr
The air stewardess served the Indian family, a row in front of me..
Indian Vegetarian Meal..
Why is it that everytime they get their meal ahead of me?!
I'm so freaking hungry, can?!
Still let me smell of such foody smell.................. ROARRRRRRRR
OK.. Let me really indulge in my movies.. focus...


SGT 2000+hr
The flight had been really jerky.. kept.. turbulencing until I giddy..
Late dinner made me weak..
Watching movie while turbulence made it worse..
I looked at the fish served.. and the potato..
I couldn't finish my fish..
I would think the salad was nice..
And I will always eat the bread with butter..
The cheese with herbs was horrific..
I would prefer the plain cheese that I had for lunch, on the earlier flight, from SG to Seoul.

I would think that I am so weird in my choice of food..
Many people will think.. Oh.. I will get tired of bread and all in States..
But it seems like my choice of food in the plane..
I will always choose the menu with potato in it..
And avoid at all costs - rice, noodles, udon.
I like bread. I think I can have it for long.


SGT 2100+hr
I was feeling terrible.. Like carsick..
Watch too much movie.. and turbulence again and again..
With the food not settling down in my tummy..
I started to feel cold and unease..
Flu came.. Cough followed..
I suddenly felt like I'm falling sick..
Just super weak, and uneasy..

I totally cannot breathe and just wanted to pass out..
So I stretched for my bag..
Took 2 Panadol cold and popped in..
And next.. I tried to concuss in the middle of my movie - 21..

I dozed off, and woke up alittle..
Movie ended.. So I offed the TV, and wanted to go back to sleep...
The 2 ladies on my right left for the washroom perhaps..
Then I dozed off again..

The next time I gained a little of consciousness..
These 2 ladies were engaged in a not-very-friendly conversation....
The Singaporean along the aisle mumbled something to the Korean..
Korean lady just rebutted "Mind you, I'm in the centre seat. I don't have much space to start with.. "
I would guess, perhaps the Korean lady was vying for space, and intruded the Singaporean's for a second..
Like that also shiok ah?!
Why just can't be understanding and give some space lor...
Anyway, I'm happy at my little corner...
Just that I drink little water to prevent myself from running to the loo..


SGT 2345hr
When I open my eyes..
It really did feel like morning..
Cos sun is already shining through the window in front of me.
The little Indian girl had drawn the shades and allow the sun in onto me..
Of course, I didn't allow myself to sleep anymore..
Just naively think that make myself adapt to morning timing..
Which isn't and shouldn't be done in such a way...
Okay.. about 3 more hours to reach San Francisco..



More things happened.. to be updated again...
