We departed on Saturday. There wasn't much time after bfast before the arranged car picked us at 10.30am for the airport. I regretted not bringing a bigger luggage. It was stuffed to the brim and I almost couldn't bring back the complimentary wine. Lol.
In the car, we realised that we were heading to different terminals. The driver was nice enough to do us a favor and dropped us accordingly. I was tempted to drop with ah yee and then to find my own way to the right terminal. It should take me 15 mins by shuttle bus and give me more time with ah yee. We eventually decided against it. I don't think I want to get lost and miss my flight. Ended up, I had loads of time in the airport and visited the lounge for comfy chair and wifi. Nice. Smart phone and wifi = perfect combination for long waits.
The flight departed on time. Leg space!
The movie selection was exactly the same. Yawn but I still spent the entire leg watching movie after movie. It was my last luxurious moments.
Hello Dubai.
This transit wait was a lot more painful bcos I was tired and sleepy. I was already dozing while waiting to take off from Dubai. I barely watched 1 movie before I drifted off to lala land, fully utilising the "bed". The next moment, I was awoken for bfast. Yeah, home was about an hour away.
I received a free toiletry bag. I think these were only given out for night flight.
Of course I was overjoyed to be home. I am always amazed by the Singapore immigration efficiency. It barely took me 5 mins to clear immigration. Woohoo!
This is me, on the way home and feeling totally exhausted.
How was the Barcelona trip overall? The flight was alright but very tiring. The air stewardesses took great care of the business class passengers, constantly checking to make sure that we were comfortable. I don't remember the Swiss air stewardesses being so caring. However, the movie selection sucks, particularly the Asian movie selections. I was hoping to catch up on some interesting HKG and Korean movies but they were so limited. The food was nothing to rave about too. I didn't finish most of the meals largely bcos they weren't tasty enough for me to sacrifice my calories. Still, I shouldn't complain. How often do I get to fly business class? Haha.
The weather, bread and shopping are what I missed about Barcelona. It is so vibrant and the people are a lot more warmer than the Parisans. *Wave ah yee* Lol. I spotted this in the toilet at the airport and there were syringes in it - things that I don't get to see in sunny Singapore.
Did I miss the family? Of course I did. Throughout the week, I only communicated via watsapp with Daddy Lim and didn't at all speak to the kids but am sure that they were in good hands. I was regularly updated about the fun that they had in Penang in real time and with tons of pictures. Daddy Lim did bring back 2 right kids in the end. Lol.
Once I was back and met the kids, they were suddenly very needing mummy. I heard them called out to me so frequently for the rest of the night. Lol.
Sleep was so good last night. Ah.. my comfy bed. I went to bed early but was still feeling so tired this morning. I don't think it was jetlag; it is probably more old age than anything else. Lol. Back to work, to war and I should start planning for another short getaway in place of the Penang that I missed. Lol.
