on the 1st October 2009 - 4th October 2009, my parents and keeliang packed our bags and flew to BKK for a shopping fiesta!
Our flight was supposed to leave at 11:30am. We were 5 minutes late at terminal 2 for our check-in. The staff told us that we could fly but our baggages would have to take the next flight which would be 2-3 hours later. We had no choice but to agree. After all, we were going to meet up with my dad's business friends for lunch before heading for our Hotel.
So off we went. We brisk-walked and ran to our boarding gate and thank God, we made it in time! Phew!
So, on-board SQ 972. Personally, it is my maiden voyage on SIA. i've taken British Airways, Thai and even Jetstar but just not on SIA before. The plane was so much bigger as compared to the Jetstar plane i took to taiwan years back. :)
The flight took around 2 hours. despite being so, me and keeliang could not sit still for that short stint. We were just too excited!
We did the usual stuffs like taking lots of stupid pictures. like the mr.bean Vomit paper bags ones.
and then of course, LUNCH!
The food was quite alright. i liked the tiramisu ice-cream! And there after we watched some movies. keeliang watched ice age 3. YAWN~
i watched some forgettable movie. So much so that i cannot even recall the movie title now. hmmph.
anyway, we were glad to arrive at 1pm Sgp time. dad and keeliang went to the customers' lost and found counter to make a report of our "lost baggages" which will only be arriving in the next flight. while doing so, me and mummy went to the washroom. and when we were out, we decided to go to the SQ 972 belt to just check if our baggages were there. like maybe they managed to squeeze our baggage in time? slim as the chances may sound, we were spot on!
we found our baggages and happily collected them! this meant saving lots of time. we didnt have make a return trip to the airport anymore. Thank God!
then, we waited outside the airport - Suvarnabhumi Airport - for Chai Yiu and Pel (pronounced as Burn) --> dad's Thai business friends to come pick us up.
it was a rainy week for BKK. the weather was chilly and the roads were wet.
We went for lunch at some Tesco shopping mall and off we went to Chai Yiu and Pel's factory.
On the road, it was a bumpy and rough ride. luckily Chai Yiu's car was some big tall jeep that was definitely able to conquer those road muds and kurbs.
And Pel taught us some simple Thai. mostly i have forgotten.
except "How Much?" --> "Tao Lai?"
The factory was pretty big. Just completed its renovation a few years back, it was a rather pleasant place.
as dad was going through some business stuffs, off went me, mummy and keeliang to do photo-taking... again! After which, we toured around the factory, went for a sumptous dinner and back to hotel!
