Singapore Trip @ 25072009



i'm in singapore now
and yea liverpool fc is in singapore too
but sadly i've no chance to watch the match

todya i took TR 423 from PEN to SIN
and we landed at Changi and docked at the budget terminal
this is my first flight with Tiger Airways
and hey they are way much better than our local low cost carrier,
Airasia.
the most interesting part was that I was allowed to enter the cockpit!
after greeting the Captain and the First Officer
the Captain offered me to take his seat 
and he will take photo for me
hahhahahahahahhah!!! this has brought me to the cloud nine!!!
this is my 4th time visiting the cockpit

1st - being invited to visit cockpit while travelling on Qantas as a little kid(should be Boeing 744)

2nd -  i had requested to visit the cockpit (after landing as i understand that there is restriction) once i entered the Boeing 772. but the male cabin attendant directly made the request to the Captain, and I was allowed to enter the cockpit! Captain is a Penangite as well, from St.Xaviers.

3rd - i told my friend, Chankin who is working as a pilot with airasia few weeks before the departure to hong kong with junyi, a good friend of me. Chankin swapped to our flight and we both were greeted and invited to the cockpit by him after we landed in Hong Kong Int'l Airport.

4th - i made a cockpit visit request to the CA standing right beside the cockpit door after we have landed at Changi. because i saw the cockpit door is opened and the Captain was standing there. as expected, he brought me into the cockpit! Hooray!!! this leaves a good impression of Tiger Airways,despite of the overall performance..hahahahh!!!





back to the topic
this will be a short 3 days shopping trip
i managed to grab the limit zero fares from tigerairways.com
and all i need to pay is the taxes n charges
the two ways flight ticket costs only rm182 =D
sis's flight with Jetstar which was scheduled to depart at 9.05am, 
has been delayed to 2.45pm 
so i've reached s'pore at 1.30pm, with take off time at 12.10pm from Penang
and thus, i've travelled using SMRT and strolled around at the Bugis area

i 'awarded' myself a delicious lunch after starving for whole morning
i took my lunch HIP DINER USA, with the '1 FOR 1 OFFER' =)
Ordered an American Double Chilies Burger and Grilled Honey Barbeque Chicken,
with a glass of Chocolate flavored Coke.
They cost me SGD 18.83 but they are tasty! =D





will be flying back on monday 27 July 2009
i've bought a pair of long pants from G2000, 
with 40% discount + additional 10% discount for tourist
hope that i could get more good deals, esp the shirts or pants these few days



it's 4am and it's time to sleep
nights=)
