It was a very busy day in office...for the four of us, SK, KS, MP and myself, we were definitely not in the mood to work.....as the minutes tick away, it was finally time to set off to the airport from work....
However, the day had began with my little xiao mei telling me that she has left her passport in her hubby's car and her hubby was off to sail. Her hubby was a regular with navy and was sailing then....there's no way to locate her hubby as once sailors are out at sea, only life and death will need emergency contact of them....shit....our tickets is a group ticket where there's no way to book her on the first saturday flight out to bangkok....in other words, deviate from the group....
i remember her happily planning and toking away on where to go and all...who would have expect that to happen. she was in tears already and i cant possibly scold her...told her to keep trying to locate the spare key to her hubby's car or sms her hubby hoping that miracle will happen....
the day pass and it was 5.30pm. we are setting off at 6pm and her fate is somehow sealed. Just when we tot all hopes are gone, suddenly she told me that she found her hubby. Hubby will bring passport to her, and another fren will send her luggage to her at the airport. We were praying that the two angels will get to us in time and luckily, we were able to claim the boarding pass and as luck was with her, we were all on the flight safely to Bangkok....
Phew....what a day!!!

My first flight on Singapore Airlines
Believe or not, its really my first time on SQ. Took Eva Air to US back then, Thai AIrways too BAngkok, Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and yah, none on SQ!
I felt the leg room for Economy class were wider as compared to the previous aircraft equipment i took. I was fidling with the remote control and magazine to have an insight to the in flight entertainment offered by SQ> There....decided on The devil wears Prada. Generally, nice show and i'm impressed with the Movies on demand as this feature is as good as watching movies at home on VCD or DVD player where you can rewind or forward to the particular scene you have missed. Amazing......
Food was ok. It was around the mid autumn festival so dessert came with a mini mooncake. Din try it as it's not snow skin.
Not a bad experience......

Bangkok new airport
Bangkok's new airport looks like Star wars....a tot i have.....the airport is mainly transparent with glass and see through panels that make it looks big. Basically, the new airport was much bigger and cleaner....
after collecting all luggage of the whole bunch of us, off to the next task. To locate our thai tour guide. Oh man, the airport is packed!
Finally found the guide and boarded the bus, only to find that the bus driver is new and not really familiar with the roads at the new airport. Delayed a bit here and there and finally arrived at the hotel, Holiday Inn Silom after 40 mins....
The new airport is located furtehr from the town compared to the old airport and hence, anyone planning to go Bangkok, do take into consideration the distance before making any plans.....

Supper
By the time we settle down after checking in at the hotel, it was about 12++ in BKK. Though late, we decided to have shark fin's at CHinatown. After gathering a few, we were off to Chinatown in a few cabs. Luckily the previous time in Bangkok, i've recognise the location to tell the cab to let us alight. Just have to tell the cab to go to Yaowarat at White Orchid Hotel. There's a whole stretch of food stalls there that sells food late at night. At first, we tot that the streets in Bkk during the coup will be dead but, hmmm.....it seems normal....you dun see soldiers here and there or shops closed. Look normal to me...
after walking along the road and deciding where to eat, finally settle at this place call nam sing. Its a restaurant that serves Chinese food, not to mention Shark's fin and Bird Nest. I'm never a fan of Bird's nest and hence, settle for the 300Baht Shark's fin. The shark's fin there were so so...a little diluted i tot but acceptable....
After supper, it was back to the hotel as we need to wake up early for Offsite meeting the next morning....
