This was blogged when I was on the plane. My first flight and I was flying ALONE!!!
Hi Everyone… Guess where I am now?
I am blogging from many many feet above ground. The Mountain tortoise has stepped out of her little SGD!! heheh I’m on SQ 219 on my way to Sydney… I’m now some where above the Indian Ocean (As at 12:46pm SG time , Still got 4:15 more hours to go…) heheheh, am already a little restless as I have stayed about 2 hours plus in flight.
Bags have already been packed last night and I was ready to go physically but was I ready mentally? Was I ready to leave my 3 kids and hubby for 5 days? We Shall see…
I want to blog as much as I feel and can rem since it’s my first flight. Let’s see what I have done so far:
6:30am 12th Aug: Hubby woke me up, bath and change to get ready.
6:45am: Dad called to say that he’s on his way
7:00am: Woke Joshua and Joy up to change. Josiah was already up since 5plus 6 am… heheheh
7:10am: Daddy reach our place, went down and started our trip to the airport and hubby was so nice to help me carry and load my luggage… Think he will miss me very much.. heheheh *winkz*
7:45am: Arrive at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 and approach Counter 8 to check in my luggage. It was quite a long queue.
8:00am: Luggage checked in and we brought the kids to the Macdonalds to have their favourite breakfast.
8:30am: Kids finished breakfast, I told Daddy and hubby that I will go in already cause I didn’t want to be late… :) so gave Joshua, Joy and Josiah a hug and we tool the escalator up.
8:40am: Arrive at the “gates” (dunno what u call that… immigration gates?) hehehe and realized that the display states SQ219 “Last Call” (at 8:45am last call?? I pondered)…
Gave all three of them big hugs and told Joshua to listen to his Daddy, I hope he does…
Gave Shawn a hug and kiss, bid daddy and mummy bye and walked in.
8:45am: Went through the “XRay” inspection point and put my lappie back through then walked pass the “counter” where the lady checked my Visa and boarding tix and proceed to walk in. I’m boarding at Gates F60 and it was all the way in. Gate F60 was the end on the right side so walked on 3 parallel travelators before arriving at the inspection point. There was soooooo many ppl queuing. So I went to the washroom first, well the flight is 6 ½ hours u know…
8:55am: Went through the queue of ppl and put my stuffs through that “XRay” machine again. This time, I was asked to take my laptop out and put it in a separate box. Luckily, there was not much problems except that when I went trough the metal detector, its beeped.. heheheh, actually it beeped for many ppl… so we had to step over, and raise our hands to the side while the use the manual metal detector to screen pass each hand and each leg… :) Was quite “exciting” though…
9:15am : Proceed to the boarding counter and pass this nice lady my boarding pass and she returned me a section of it which stated my seat (58H). Couldn’t get a window seat as I was not fast enough… I will sure get the window seat on my return trip… lol. After the boarding counter, walked through another passage way to the plane.. Hubby called (I stepped aside for others to board) to say that they are going to my dad’s place cause Joshua wants to play guitar.. Wonder where does the Guitar comes from… I bid him goodbye again and phone and boarded the place..
9:35am: Pilot announced that we are a little behind schedule due to some issues and will get clearance in a few minutes..
9:45am: We are finally taking off… I felt a bit giddy when Plane taxi out, cause it kinds of feels like a car moving and stoping, moving and stopping. It also felt a little like roller coaster… soon we are up in the air already… Everything looks so small… hahahha the clouds looks like Marshmallows and it really looks very cool…
