Singapore to Christchurch

Alritey!

Flight's retimed. There was a medical emergency and flight got delayed.

Had to wait for Robin to get to airport before checking in and was really hungry coz didn't eat the whole day. Not bad. I actually managed to 'pack' my bags in less than 5 hours.

Was occupied with TV the past couple of days coz I knew that was all the TV I was gonna get from then on. Dun anticipate much TV during the trip and certainly won't be able to catch any TV once I get back to Singapore and start TEACHING!!! Argh!

Anyway... Robin managed to arrive before I fainted due to sugar deprivation and we checked in. Flight was actually a combination of 4 flights but it turned out it was still pretty empty. And we were too slow to 'chope' the empty seats at the back so we had to sit up & sleep during the flight.

And there was no personal entertainment system onboard. Sigh. Luckily, I was quite tired after staying up late to pack my bags and I actually slept pretty much of the long-haul flight (for once!). Watched a bit of Starsky and Hutch while having dinner but can't say it was a captivating show.

Had to rush to catch our connecting flight from Auckland to Christchurch since our Singapore-Auckland flight was delayed. Fortunately, we were just in time for the shuttle bus between International and Domestic Terminals. But it was still a hassle to re-check-in our baggage, get our boarding passes, etc. In the end, we arrived at the plane even before our luggage did. It was quite funny to think that the plane had to wait for our backpacks before it could take off.

Then it was an easy 1 hour plus flight onward to Christchurch! Yippee!!!
