[27-Sep-2009] Day 5
Alarm: 7am.
Check-out: 8am.
Airport: 8.20am.
Check-in: 8.30am.
Cleared checks: 8.40am.
Flight: 11.30am.
Verdict? We were @(##)@*)(!@!@#)#( too early!
We walked around, crapped around, stoned around, slacked around. All the way till 10.50am. The airplane’s UA879.
We were not next to each other for both the return flights, so each of us had some peace (or rather, she had some peace.. lol!)
The plane was a 777. In-flight entertainment: Zzz. In-flight service: Zzz.
Basically, in order to watch a movie, you have to do the following:
- Check out the schedule, see what movies are playing on which channel.
- Switch to the channel, and see if the movie is playing.
- If the movie is already mid-way through, try to find another movie.
- If all fails, consider yourself suay, and pray for better luck the next round.
Basically, these are the problems:
- No control over movie playings.
- No games.
- I only had sound on one side of my earphones.
- I do not know what songs I was listening to.
And I managed to spill my cup of coke. Zzz. It’s easy. I just had to swing my elbow abit. Done.
Zzz.
[28-Sep-2009] Narita, 2.30pm
We were back at Narita! And this time, it’s shopping at all the little shops at the airport! I bought some keychains, and 1 magnet. And also, food! Yummy…
We had some soba at the food court there. Well… edible I guess.
And after that, we rushed to take our transit flight, UA803, back to Singapore.
We had no one sitting besides us for the flight home! And so, I could fully utilise both seats. I tried doing some work with the laptop, until I became a bit too tired. Tried to sleep abit. Just abit.
And I saw a pig sleeping at the back when I woke up to go to the toilet! And someone was saying that she’s going to read some notes… well…
[28-Sep-2009] Singapore, 11.30pm.
Welcome home.
And that’s the end. End of our trip.
[Trip Evaluation]
Overall, it was a nice experience. To be able to travel so far out for free, is something that I have always wanted. I dream of travel. I dream of working overseas, short-term. I dream of going to places that I have not gone to before. I want some new experience.
Minyan has been nice too. I hope I did not create too much problems for her.
And of course, I have my regrets. I have wasted opportunites to fully utilize my camera’s abilities. I have wasted chances to capture interesting shots. I have wasted precious moments. I have to kowtow to my poor camera, which had been splashed with a bit of rain, squeezed into my bag, roughly handled, and under-utilised.
That’s one of the regrets.
[Crap]
One might say, everyday, there are so many firsts, so why bother? But to me, every firsts, can most probably be your last. It’s always the ‘firsts’ that are more interesting. ‘Seconds’ might not be that refreshing anymore, and ‘thirds’ might just be too much.
Someone said something to me online, and my IDEA lyrics mode was activated. I just had to go into the emo side, and write this down while in my room at Honolulu:
难得一次的时刻 若把它推开 错过了 这一辈åä¸ä¼šå†ä»Žæ¥
ä½ æˆ‘çš„æ— å¥ˆ ä½ æˆ‘çš„æ„Ÿæ…¨ 也ä¸èƒ½å¼¥è¡¥ æˆ‘ä»¬æ‰€é€ æˆçš„伤害

Now I have to fill in the rest. Wait till I am emo enough ba. Lol!
Things don’t happen everyday. And things don’t happen according to what you hope they will. Things can heal, and they also can hurt. They might come, and might never return. Even if they do, they might be different.
Different.
Oh man, I have not been so emotionally disturbed for a long time…
