Arrival of A380 (MSN001) -- Changi Airport (F31)
:
yooo.. yooo... TGIF....
lesson only 4hrs... wah.. lecture only.. gonna be a very fun day ha (i suppose) ..
lesson ended 12 on the dot... proceed to T12 look for Yong Sheng..den meet up with Li Kai at Dover MRT to commence with our journey to Changi Airport... to witness the arrival of the Giant A380..
Chit chat on the MRT makes our trip there a fast and an enjoying one...
once we reached the airport, first thing we did was.... Go to the Mac.. have our lunch...( Strawberry Sundae)....
after that we proceed to the Viewing gallery to view the A380... i can consider myself not lucky enough... if i do duties on every Fridays.. i will be able to get closer with the plane.. too bad.. my duty is on every Saturdays.. Me and Li Kai was busily discussing about the plane and Yong Sheng was still wondering wad were talking about at the moment of time.. Gosh... A Boeing 777-200 was parked beside it.. Amazing thing was...... ....... the A380 is double its size... i wonder if a SilkAir A310-100 was parked beside it.. man.. it gonna look like a toy plane...
We spend quite a long time viewing the plane.....cant bear to leave that place man.. haha
All of us went to the Times BookShop at the Departure Hall (Level 1 beside the post office), I went back to my office instead..chit chatting with the officers namely Umri, Candice and Maria. abt the plane and how's their day..haha.. get some info abt that plane.. Arrival 1000hrs...Departure for Brisbane 0000hrs ...
After that I went to the Singapore Visitor Centre to collect The Map of Singapore for Yong Sheng...(thats for his GEM)..... hmmm..guess where we went next???
hmmmm..
hmmmm..
still thinking???? .....
gosh...
We took a Skytrain to Terminal 1...
Manage to see a Jet-Star Asia , Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines landing.. haha..
I agree with my officer... T1 is a peaceful Terminal... but the traffic is HIGH... BA (British Airway) flights wah.... most number of flights in a day..
haha... guess wad we gonna do next??

We went back to T2...

oh ya...add on something... did some funny stuffs at the airport... we weigh our bag which is meant for luggages..haha.. Li Kai's bag weigh abt 3.5 kg..whereas mine weigh abt 4kg... as for Yong Sheng..his bag suppose to have the same weight as mine...but he added his tools box.. which results having a total of 7kg.. on the display..hahahahahaa
Time to go home lo.. getting late....
made our way to the Basement.. where we hop onto the bus home... Li Kai took 36 ..me and Yong Sheng took 858..alll the way to Woodlands Regional Interchage... me and yong sheng did some window shopping.. haha.. cos we don wan to go home so early.....
