I woke up at 2pm today. I’ve been sleeping so much that I’ve got the opposite of eyebags; I’ve got so much meat building up under my eyes that I look even more asian that usual. My eyes nearly disappear everytime I laugh or smile.

I woke up at 2pm today. I’ve been sleeping so much that I’ve got the opposite of eyebags; I’ve got so much meat building up under my eyes that I look even more asian that usual. My eyes nearly disappear everytime I laugh or smile.
1D was my form class during my first year of secondary school in Singapore. If I were still studying there, I would be graduating next Monday (Have fun guys!). Today I found some random stuff from that year (which I will be posting later), but first, the class list:
Studying at Yuying and spending my years there with 1D, really proved to be a moving experience. I’ve had so many great memories… some of them good, and some of them bad (Come on! We all have our ups and downs!), but they will always be etched in my heart.

8:35PM: At the departures lounge (aka Perth’s largest tax free shopping zone) right now. In usual Tiger Airways style, the plane is late.
8:45PM: This is getting worse. The status of the flight is “Boarding”, and all the passengers are gathered around the gate area, but we see no staff, or even a plane outside!
9:00PM: All the passengers are getting annoyed. Including me.
9:15PM: The plane is here! Still another couple or so minutes before we can start boarding.
9:30PM: We’re boarding! Yay! I’m seated at 15A today. My brother’s in seat 15B, and 15C has been occupied by this Australian-Asian man. Not hot at all… Ewww.
10:00PM: And we have lift off!
10:10PM: For some reason, the seat belt sign is still illuminated. People are moving about anyway. It’s funny because the cabin crew has to keep making announcements to get everyone’s asses back on their seat!
10:30PM: Seatbelt sign is off! The cabin crew were quick to bring the sales cart out.
10:50PM: Bought a can of Coke. They ran out of cups and ice on the cart, and one of the crew members promised to be back with my cup of ice from the galley shortly.
10:55PM: I still don’t have my cup of ice for my Coke! I’m not gonna drink my coke till I get my cup of ice! Captain just made an announcement. What was meant to be a 4hr 45mins flight, has now turned into a 5hr 15mins flight, due to strong head wind.
11:00PM: My cup of ice has arrived! By then my brother has finished his can of Coke already. He’s asking for another cup. Let’s see how long the crew takes this time.
11:01PM: Aw what! This is rigged. He got his cup in a minute! Sipping my cup of Coke right now. Yummy.
11:03PM: Here’s what I plan to do through out the flight. First off, eat. That meal service probably won’t end until another hour or more. Then when the lights go off, I’m gonna read Two Centuries of Australian Poetry. Then, the boredom of the book will hopefully drift me off to sleep. Just about half and hour before landing, I’ll take a trip to the lavatory to freshen up, and I’ll be ready for Singapore baybeh!
11:10PM: Strange. The cabin lights have been dimmed, and the crew hasn’t taken the our orders for dinner yet. I’m hungry!
11:15PM: Just finished by can of Coke. I’m hungry!!!! I want to om nom nom.
11:19PM: One of the cabin crew members is gay! Well, I assume anyway. LOL. There are a couple of hot guys on this flight. Many youngsters. And can you believe it or not; Almost everyone on this flight is going to Singapore just for the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix.
11:23PM: The lights just went off! I want dinner!!!
11:49PM: Still no meals. I’m gonna ask a cabin crew member what’s going on.
12:17AM: WTF. There are no meals at all on this flight. Only drinks + a couple of confectionery items. What do you want me to do huh? Starve to death? GAH! I hate this.
Ordering some snacks right now to overcome my hunger. They’re all junk food though. *cries* A bag of cookies, potato chips and a Snickers Bar.
12:35AM: Just finished snacking on the Snickers Bar and the bag of potato chips. Starting on my bag of cookies right now.
01:00AM: Just finished nibbling on my cookies. Currently reading Tiger Tales, the inflight magazine. There are quite a number of good articles in here.
01:15AM: I’m sleepy. Going for a short nap now, since I have nothing else to do (I gave up on Two Centuries of Australian Poetry).
02:30AM: I’m up. About 40 more minutes to the flight left. I see lights outside!
02:40AM: The cabin lights go up. Cabin crew comes out of their ‘hiding spots’ and greet the passengers good morning.
02:50AM: The cabin lights go back down again in preparation for landing.
03:10AM: Touchdown! Tiger Airways is delighted to welcome you to Singapore.
03:20AM: And remember, for the cheapest flights, always log on to tigerairways.com. Shameless advertising much?
03:25AM: I’m out of the aircraft, making my way to the Arrivals hall now.
This live blog is done. I’m in Singapore! :D
3:30PM: So I’m starting to pack now. I know, I’m very last minute.
3:50PM: I’m tired!!!! I give up. I hate packing.
4:27PM: Cleaning up my room while packing at the same time. Doing two things at once!
4:38PM: I’m hungry! And thirsty too. I just took the clothes in.
4:56PM: I’m multi-tasking! Packing, Blogging, Listening to music and talking to people on MSN, all at the same time. :)
5:11PM: All the clothes are in! Now time for all the doccuments.
5:34PM: Almost there. Just double checking to make sure I have everything.
5:44PM: I’m pretty sure everything’s in now. I’ll do a final check later. For now, I have to go prepare for dinner!
5:59PM: Final MSN chats with people right now.
6:03PM: It’s dinner time! My last meal in Perth.
6:08PM: I’ve got so many things to do!!! Talk about work overload!
6:41PM: Back from dinner. This is it! Bye everyone!
8:40AM: Leaving home for school!
8:45AM: Just arrived in school. Almost missed my friends when I came in!
9:00AM: Bell rings. My friends and I are still talking. We don’t feel like going into class.
9:10AM: Everyone’s in class right now and we’re still outside… We’re late! Hehehe. Gave the excuse that we were helping another teacher.
9:25AM: In intro calc right now. I really don’t feel like doing anything. Oh come on, it’s my last day!
9:30AM: Pfft… no one’s doing any work in class right now (including me). My friends and I are talking about swimming tops right now. Yeemon doesn’t want to wear anything too revealing because she has stretch marks all over her body.
9:50AM: I have crazy friends. Yeemon’s talking to a book. She’s freaking out because she has a test.
10:05AM: In art class. We’re doing clay modeling. I hate it because it makes my hands dry and un-smooth.
10:15AM: Brad’s making a clay penis. LOL
10:20AM: It actually looks like a penis!!!
10:50AM: ART OVER! Recess now.
11:15AM: Cam whoring session!
11:35AM: Physics class now. Working on movement problems… how fun!
11:57AM: Talking about trigonometry. The only trigonometric rule that we need today is SOH CAH TOA… as in Suck a Toe. LOL (I know, I’m lame)
12:08PM: Discussing with the teacher about ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’. Apparently, guys cry at the end of the movie.
12:12PM: I have a really funny Physics teacher. We’re talking about how we’re gonna burn him when he dies.
12:15PM: Physics over! Lunch time now :)
12:30PM: Weird smile picture time!
12:45PM: It’s media now.
1:23PM: Just a note. There will be three live blogging sessions today, as part of my last day in Perth. This one, School, is the first. Home will be the second one (which will feature my packing adventures), and the last one will be during the flight. I hope you guys look forward to it!
1:40PM: School just ended. Walking home with Devin, Georgie, Amy and Michelle.
2.40PM: Parting time! Lot’s a hugs… I’m gonna miss you guys!
