Oct 1, 2008 - 2:55pm During Flight

I forgot my camera has a time stamp. -_-"

I just woke up from my nap of 3 hours. Nice nap I had! Woke up like 5 times to drink water though...it's so dry! Although Tinlop is sitting next to me, we can't really talk much because he's actually "behind" me. (3:02pm)

(4:43pm) Woke up again from another nap and will now snack on pasta salad, petite cakes and cranberry soda. The pasta salad was good and the grilled chicken was not dry as I expected. The cakes however, were tres dry...eek! and sweet! At this point, cranberry soda was my friend! (4:45pm)

(6:30pm) After snacking on my pasta, I decided to browse through the movie listings and discovered Get Smart! I really liked watching the reruns of this 60's sitcom when I was a kid so I decided to give it a shot. So just when I was gonna say "Get Smart! is pretty good and funny!", there was a problem with the system and they cut my movie short. -_-" Right at the climax. Poopie.

(9:00pm) Piggy (me) woke up again and guess what? Snack time again! This time I sneaked into the back pantry and asked for something different. So I'm having wraps and pretzels. It's so funny, the flight attendant tried to give me more of those nasty petite cakes and when I told her I didn't want any, she was like: "Why doesn't anyone like these?" So I responded: "They're not very good..." LOL. So I ended up with my wraps, two bags of pretzels and one Fruit and Nut bar. Of course, had to have my cranberry soda! I'm trying really hard to stay away from the cup noodles (they serve those in real bowls up here, and in their original paper cups in the back kekeke) but I must say I was tempted for some. The wraps were kinda soggy, but still quite tasty. I liked the roasted veggie one best.

Only four more hours until Hong Kong! Sleeping in 1st class makes this 15hr flight so much better!! =p

I can't keep asking Tinlop for the time so entries will be timeless until we land I guess.

I'm liking 1st class more and more by the second! I love how they serve you like you're in a restaurant. Napkins, table cloth, tray liner (cloth), salt and pepper shakers; the works again! The flight attendant actually placed my napkin on my lap for me! Keke!

I'm enjoying my appetizer of grilled shrimp (slightly salty), potatoes and bell peppers on spring mix salad, multigrain roll, and a glass of chardonnay. Wow, I can get used to this! My main course of fried scallops arrived with broccoli, lotus root and rice with mango sauce. The scallops are okay but broccoli is tasteless and mushy. The rice is edible, but the plate was so hot that it made 飯焦.

I'm so tired now. Probably the lack of sleep catching up with me. I'm falling asleep eating. LOL! Here's to some gourmet cheese! I chose two types of four. I got the harder ones as I love hard stinky cheeses. Well, the two cheeses I got weren't stinky at all, but had a nice flavour to it that goes great with the red grapes. Funny the cheese was better than the main course. The fruit dish consisted of watermelon, pineapple, kiwi, honeydew and cantaloupe. The fruits were all ripe and sweet!!

頭等即係頭等...連啲 nuts 都高檔過人. 幾好幾好, 唔錯唔錯.

The map doesn't work so I can't tell time. Sucks not having a watch.

Looks like lunch will be pretty cool! I ordered shrimp, scallops and prawns. Oooolala!

I can't wait until I get to Hong Kong and surprise the 姨姨's, Sandra, Emmi, Cindy...etc. This would be way cool. Good thing I was convinced to come with that coin toss. Thanks Tinlop! I owe you big!

I like it how they serve everything here in proper glassware and not plastic. I'm giddy happy, can you tell?

OMG! First class! 咁大個女第一次坐頭等! We're moving! OMG! Still can't believe it! The seats are large, there's lots of leg room, comfy leg rest, nice food, pillows, blankets, the works! Best thing is the seat goes all the way down so you can actually sleep normally! I'm so excited! Personal LCD screen is pretty big too. Wow. I can't wait to get to Hong Kong. This is absolutely worth the 3 sleepless nights! Although I feel like a 鄉下婆 oo-ing and ah-ing at first class, I can't help it! It would have been perfect if I got a window seat instead but oh well, who's complaining? Keke!

Notice the part that says "executive first" =p

Roomy isn't it?

Wow, can't believe I'm going to Hong Kong again! Well, attempting to go to Hong Kong. Tinlop and I are waiting at the gate for our names to be called. Yep, we're on standby. After 3 sleepless nights, the day is finally here! I've never been to the new Terminal 1 before. Looks kinda cool. Hopefully we'll make it on the plane. *Hopes for first class...keke!! Left the house at 7:15am this morning and made it here in 20 minutes. I'm so excited although I miss Hun Hun already!
