Journey to China - Beginning

On May 9th, I woke up at around 7.30. My roomie, who intended to accompany me, woke up half hour earlier than me =.=’… after a quick shower and breakfast at can 14, che2, son2, and I left NTU at around 9. We reached Changi MRT at 10.30… and I was supposed to pick up my mum who was arriving from Medan. When I checked the arrival time, her plane arrived at… 10.30. huh!? I can’t believe my eyes. I tot that it supposed to be arriving at 11.05!?!?

As I didn’t know where I supposed to be meeting my mum, we took monorail to terminal 3 first and check in myself. I then explained my situation to the officer:
1. I bought a pair of ticket to shanghai, one for me, one for my mother
2. My mother has arrived at Singapore, but I don’t know where she will be, as she should be on transit and not going out from the arrival hall.
3. She hasn’t checked in for the flight to shanghai yet… and since I’m the one buying the ticket, she might need me and my debit card to check in.

The officer then checked me in first, then advised me to go back to terminal 2, go into the departure hall and look for my mother there. I followed the advice. At that moment, time was already 11.35, and my flight is at 12.50. To make the thing more adventurous for me, my mum mobile wasn’t activated and my mobile was on low battery :S. I tried to call my mum several times, but there is no answer. Afterwards, daddy called… I explained the situation.. and my phone suddenly run out of battery. I opened up the mobile again, and it kept showing the low battery warning.

Che2 and Son2 accompanied me back to terminal 2 before we finally said good bye at the enterance of terminal 2. Thanks alot to both of you ^^ and so sorry to trouble you guys T_T


Thanks, Che n Son~

So… there I was at terminal 2 departure hall, my flight was in 1 hour time in terminal 3, my mum who supposed to be traveling with me hasn’t checked in yet, and I don’t know where to find my muuumm T__T I felt so hopeless there…

I never thought that I’ll be doing these things, but I did. I blindly asked almost each of transit counters if my mum had come there. Lucky that the information I got from the counter helped me to prune most of the wrong choices... and… I finally reached a counter who said “oh yes, the lady come here one hour ago”. I felt a bit of hope. At that time, my phone suddenly rang again and it was my mum calling from terminal 3. The person at the counter then explained to me that he had issued the ticket to my mother, because she showed the confirmation printout. I was fully relieved afterwards.

So, finally, I meet my mum at terminal 3 ^^ After hugging my mum, I called daddy using the free phone at airport. I should have trust my mum more next time ^^; She traveled more than me afterall. Hahaha..

We went on to the plane on time. When I reached the plane, my mobile’s battery suddenly show half full :S Maybe I need to buy a new battery soon. I was so excited inside the plane. It was only 1/3 full for the entire flight! Super duper nicee~~ The flight attendance kept asking us if we want any water or juice.. full service ^^


Empty seat everywhere~

Eluded by the non-stop drink offer, I order white grape wine in the first half hour of the flight. The stewardess gave me a full glass of wine. After sipping a bit, I complained to mum that the wine was not that bitter and looked like has been mixed with apple juice. I then finished the whole glass in 3 minutes.

That 3 minutes was my greatest mistake in the flight. After the wine, I feel… drunk. I can’t even finish my most-awaited lunch box T_T I also can’t eat the ice cream they provided… so wasted T_T feel like vomiting all the time. After the lunch, I tried to sleep… but my stomach didn’t seem to allow me to do so… and finally… I vomited =.=’ 3 times =__=’’ Thanks to my own greediness. It was my first time vomiting in a flight. My super awaited flight some more.


I couldn't even finish my delicious fish potatoes T_T

After the incident, I feel rejuvenated… I then walked to the toilet to wash my face. Mum ordered hot green tea for me… and I soon felt fresh again~ Talk to my mum for almost 1 hour before the flight finally arrived smoothly at Shanghai airport. No delay at all. Thanks SIA for such a great service. I really wished I didn't order the wine T_T hahaha…

Just after we got our luggage, my sister arrived and picked us up. We have a quick dinner and some walk at Shanghai Bund. It was beautiful... the scene was almost like singapore's marina bay, only bigger.. hahaha.. and it was really a hot dating spot. I almost can't take a picture without snapping a couple hugging or kissing. Wew. Not a safe place for a people below 18 :p hahaha...

After visiting some other places, we finally went back to warner inn and rest for the day~
