Had always read about my friends' solo trip with much much envy.... a part of me has always wanna to do the same cos i think i am a carefree and adventurous woman too.... wahahahaha.... but a 'solo' trip back from Hua Hin last June proved that i am too scary cat to be travelling at ease alone oversea... =S
so when Chunyang, Ailing and baby Desiree moved to Perth this June, i took the opportunity to plan my 'solo' trip to visit them this Sept hol.... =D
flew Scoot @ $419.14, gotten my Australia visa @ $6.92 from Team Kangaroo and travel insurance @ $26 from NTUC Income...
Imagine my horror when I woke up on flight day and the first thing that greeted me was a 4 hour flight delayed message from Scoot... which meant that i was to arrived in Perth @ 9pm..... @#£_&&+()+-_##(//-&£....
checked my email and read that Scoot has a 'Scoot Guest Promise' scheme whereby when a flight is delayed for more than 3 hours, they will issue every passenger with a SGD50 Scoot travel voucher... sincere enough... i forgive you... =D
Had to apologise and cancel my hitch to the airport and to inform chunyang of the change in pick up time... Heng... It was just a solo flight trip... If it was a real solo trip, I might have just cancelled the whole trip cos I cannot imagine having to travel alone at night in a foreign country... What if I get kidnapped?!?!?!....
and because of the delay, i was also informed to check-in at 1pm, 3 hours before the new schedule flight time
so here i was loitering around T2 ...
joined the kiddos at the rubbing station
@ The Orchid Garden
Filled my tummy at Ya Kun
was surprised to see that the food was served in such environmental unfriendly format but i had fun drinking the half-boil eggs from the cup/bowl... =P
free massage
my shoes for the trip.... cute leh!!!
compensation pack for keeping us waiting for at least another hour at the boarding area ... but din eat any of it as i wasnt hungry and had no appetite for dry snacks...
me @ 6pm...
engineers gave up on fixing our plane at 6+pm and Scoot finally changed our plane and our flight time was re-timed to 8pm, 8 hours after schedule, means can claim insurance lo... woohoo!!! ....
Free dinner (capped at $10) was provided for at the Straits Food-court and i chose wantan mee soup with teh
finally seated in the plane at 8.30pm, 8.5 hours after schedule...
but still very happy to see maggot teo who came to pick me up from the airport... he's the first friend i made in RSS back in 1995 and that's 22 years of friendship... =D
