My Amazing Race To Buffalo!!

After going into the gate, made some phone calls to some of my best friends in Singapore and i boarded the northwest flight bound for Narita Airport in Tokyo. Flight took off at 6am and reach Narita Airport at 2pm the next day. The flight took longer then expected. Total flight time was 8 hours. Was planning to buy Mac D at the airport but guess what when it is my turn to order the food, i found out that i dun have any yen on me and that the exchange rate totally sux and i only have USD with me so i gave up and went to the gate for my connecting flight. Then i found out that it was 245pm as Japan had a GMT +9 instead of Singapore GMT +8 and i notice the time different on my watch.. And so i ran as fast as possible to the gate and board the aircraft. That was a close call to observe GMT at all time when u travel >.< Took the next flight from Portland to Minneapolis flight time 4 hours. When i arrive i notice that the next plane i was suppose to catch had already took off. The airline made new arrangement for me and gave me a 50 USD food voucher. They house me in an airport hotel. Arrive at Days Inn and i order 50 USD worth of food and try to finish as much as i can haha. Below are photos of Minneapolis airport, Days inn and the food i ate be4 i go to bed lol. Next day woke up at 530am took a quick shower and went to the airport to catch the flight from Minneapolis to Detroit. Flight time was 1 hour. After i arrive i found out that the flight from Minneapolis to Detroit was delayed again... omg!! If this delays i am not going on the next flight again. When i reach Detroit, i heard the announcement " Last call for all passengers leaving to buffalo from Detroit and it was my flight!! I checked the gate number and to my worst horror i was at gate 9 and the buffalo flight is at gate 86!!!! and i only got 5 mins to reach there.. so i ran and ran and ran and while running i took a couple of pic below and i saw a monorail within the airport " inside!!" i was amazed that was so cooool. By the time i reach the gate it was already close i was like wtf Gonna miss it again!! they they ask me if i am suppose to be on the flight. I shouted yes! and they say they coms the plane to open and let me in. So i was the last passenger on board that flight . So fortunate... After traveling another hour . I finally reach Buffalo my destination!! at 12pm Sunday afternoon. And i was just in time to be picked up by my friends from UB Stef and Elfa. So fortunate if not i will be so pai seh to face em if i am late !!

Changi Airport on AUG 10th 2007

Arrive on AUG 10th 2007, 330am at changi airport. Went straight to the Northwest check in counter to check in my bags. They told me my bags was over sized so my mum had to repack everything on the spot. Luckily she was there if not i would have taken a longer time to repack it or worst come to worst i might have to throw some stuff away .. After check in i waited for the gate to open and i heard a familiar voice shouted at me. I turn back and was shocked... My whole family was here. Everyone was here. Even my grandma was here. When i saw em i cried on the spot cause at the beginning i asked them not to come as it would be hard for me to leave them without crying. But they did!! Was so happy thou. So many tears at the waiting area. So sad as i know that after going into the gate i would not be seeing my close family members for a long long long time ... Thanks you to all my cousins, aunt, uncle, sis, bro, grandma, dad and mum for being there for me.
