FANTASTIC. DRAMA MAX.

So thinking that I'd finally be on my way home this early afternoon, I reached xiamen airport and checked in early as usual. Wait wait wait... hmm... 150pm flight... now already 130.. why the plane still not here? ok nvm. delays in china v common so nvm wait awhile... wait wait wiat.. 2pm!!! stewardess announced 'flight delay due to technical fault... no ETD as yet...' OK WIN... nvm wait wait wait.. my next flight is 1am from sgp so still got lotsa time.. and then finally ding dong announcement... flight delayed to 430pm!! OK CALM... still got time.. can catch next flight... no sweat...

Then 430pm. yayy finally can board le! and by 445 everyone was on board waiting to go back... taxi-ing along the runway.. then... suddenly.. 'We regret to inform you that we are turning back now as a passenger needs to get off the plane'
wtf rite?! strike two! so the bloody plane turned back... wait DAMN FREAKING LONG finally got police car come... got some bloody slut-looking zabor off the plane.. like wth is gg on?!?

530pm. Said slut finally got pushed up the police car (she was refusing to initially - from what i can see from my window seat), and stairs and car retracted. pilot announced 'the passenger who has just departed from the plane says that someone on board is trying to hurt her, so we had to get her off the plane upon her insistence' ... say what?? ok nvm fantastic all i'm interested in is 'we can take off soon, awaiting green light from air tower'
Fantastic, still in time for my next flight. cutting it close but still can.

6pm. Still stuck at same spot. what's gg on??? The plane's getting rowdy. Suddenly this huge group of passengers at the back insist on getting off too - they suspect that said slut planted some bomb or what, i dunno. SO HOW?! pilot comes on. now have to taxi back to the bay!! cos huge grp wanna leave!! FKKKKKKKKKKKK. fantastic.

7pm. Still at same coordinates. Not moved an inch. Plane getting rowdier and rowdier.

745pm. FINALLY!! bloody bus and stairs arrive. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OFF!! now they're gg to perform a thorough search! All I'm thinking is FANTASTIC i'll miss my next flight already yayness.

8pm. Back at airport lounge. Where I was 8 freaking hours ago. enough time for me to go sgp and come back, round trip. CLAP HANDS. don't need go aussie alr.

830pm. PLANE NOT FLYING ALREADY. FLY TMR INSTEAD. STRIKEEEEEEE THREEE!! AND YOU'RE OUT!!! Arrangements made to put us up at some random hotel.

ok i don't have the energy to type anymore. anw so now i'm at pan pac with someone who isnt a complete stranger but neither do i really noe that person. to cut the long story short. FML. series of unfortunate events. going to bug the SQ staff to put me on the next flight out to perth tmr. WISH ME LUCK!!
