And the drama continues.

After a terrible night (read: my roomate is a HEAVY snorer who can fight with my dad), I finally gave up trying to sleep at 430am. nvm, gotta be up 1.5hrs later anyway. surf net.

fast fwd to 9am. fantastic start to the morning, we're boarding at 9am for a 930am flight! (considered v early already hor).

930am. YAYYY gate IS closing!

935am. On runway, waiting for green light.

10am. On runway, waiting for green light.

1030am. On runway, waiting for green light. WHAT IS BLOODY GOING ON???

1035am. Pilot announced that the govt wants to yan xi so the airspace is closed for the time being. SAY WHAT??? Passengers getting agitated (again).

1045am. Woman at back making hell lot of noise. na li you zhe zhong shi?? yao yan xi jiu yan xi?? Other passengers secretly snigger.

11am. I just want to go home.

1105am. Is that the engine restarting that I just heard?

1110am. Pilot announces GREEN LIGHT GIVEN WE CAN FLY!!!

1111am. Congratulates the guy one seat away from me. We both concur we have never been so happy to fly, ever.

1115am And we're off!!!

Now that I'm safely back, I want to say that I think this flight was just not meant to be. I've never been on a mroe shaky flight or a flight that experienced more turbulance than this morning. All I could think was I wanna go home plsssss.

Anyway so after another big hoo-ha back in changi airport (I still needed my flight to perth confirmed!!!!), I finally managed to rush back home, throw my china bag down, have a quick bath, and out I went back towards the airport.

So now I'm at the boarding gate to perth, and even though I know that sg has more reliable service (even though I have to say the flight from xm was SILKAIR (=SQ)), I can't help looking out at the singaporeair plane now and think "pls don't delay".

I just realised over the past 24hrs I have developed a phobia of flight delays.
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!
