One Week Winter (Part 1)
Ok, so now begins my entry for what i did, see, hear, smell and experience during my New Zealand trip from 2006 June 03 till June 09. All of below entries were written during my trip where i actually carried a notepad with me and wrote down anything that interest me so you can imagine the grammar and writing to be pretty screwed up (as if it's not screwed enough already). For photos that i took during the trip, click here. And thus begin the epic that is titled 'One Week Winter' Part 1......
June 03 Singapore 1549hrs
Here I am on my way to the airport. The group's meeting supposed to be @ 1745hrs but i decided to go early (as usual, Kiasu). Just bought this notebook @ Tampines so that I can write down everything that I experience during the journey. I'm surprising calm right now....considering this is my first time gonna be on a plane.
June 03 Singapore 1628hrs
Just reached Changi Airport. It seems I am more than one hour early (Kiasu has a price). I think I will just go to Times bookshop to read somethings while waiting for the rest.
June 03 Singapore 1730hrs
Okay, so people are finally arriving and gathering. Hopefully the waiting will be over soon. It's taking bloody long and I can't imagine people are taking the bloody sweet time. even for an overseas holiday trip -_-"
June 03 Singapore 1838hrs
Got boarding pass. Boarding time is 1920hrs. Stomach's growling so I made my way to the food court and have a chicken porridge meal (that costs $4.95!!). Normally I don't eat dinner but what the hell! It's a holiday trip. I might as well indulge in it. I'm told there will be another meal @ 2200hrs on the plane. Hmm.......
June 03 Singapore 1925hrs
So I checked in @ the boarding gate. Used some internet while waiting to board the plane. The airconditioner is cold in here, something of a premunition of things to come in New Zealand. I'm told it will be COLD there. Hell freezes over, yeah!
June 03 Singapore(?) 2020hrs
Finally onboard plane for the 10 hours(!!!) flight! Not bad, I am sitting near the walkway, which means wasy access to the toilet. There seems to be a nice selections of movies they have on their entertainment system. Sitting in a plane doesn't feel much different from a MRT train ride though when the plane is taking off, my ears have that kind of 'weird pressure' like you will get when you took an elevator (first time sitting plane so pardon the 'swakoo'-ness here). Dinner is served @ about singapore time 2200hrs. I had some 'chicken rice' or so they claim. Man, plane meal sucks. Almost reminds me of Combat rations back in the army days. Watched the movie 'King Kong', 'There's something about Mary' and an episode of 'The Simpson'. Felt tired and sleep. Before i knew it, Presto! It's 1.5hours till destination. Breakfast is served @ about Singapore 0400hrs. Had some omelette with sausage and some yoghurt. Read some chapters of my 'The Invisibles' book. Auckland is only less than an hour away.
There you go with this first entry. Stay tune tomorrow for the 2nd installments of 'One Week Winter'!!!
