I can't tell you how Good it feels to be home. The moment the plane lands, you juz know, you've reached home. Everything you see makes u feel at home. The large number of SIA planes, the terminal, how clean Changi is compared to Heathrow yada yada. And the immigration officer actually wishes you "Welcome Home". How cool is that?
Let's talk about the flight. Major cost cutting taking place. And it is evident. It small subtle little things, but it's there. At least to me. Let's take a look
1) A card explaining why plastic cutlery are usedv- that is gone
2) The same main dish as when I took the same sector in April, and something similar in June last year
3) Not more cut green chilli for noodles for breakfast
Small things, but small things that i notice.
And for the 1st time ever, I felt some differential treatment on the plane. They ran out of the Gordon Ramsay's chicken on the plane, so I had the take the beef stir fry, but they apologised to the angmoh lady sitting next to me but not to me. Why? Does it matter less to me that there is no chicken available? My sis and I came up with the theory that it's cuz this Singapore Girls, they can sense whether or not someone appreciates good service. And generally, the angmohs are more vocal in appreciating the good service, so they tend to treat them better. You think so? And so because I am Chinese, does that mean i dun appreciate good service?
I mean, I have to admit, I can tell when a guest appreciates good service and I admit that I might treat these guests better because i know they appreciate it and they tell me. I make the extra effort, I explain things, I dun mind going out of the way to help them. But that's because I want to be appreciated and recognised (come on, everybody does), and it's always nice to hear it from someone that they appreciate my gesture, thank you very much.
Anyway, yeah the flight. I chose to fly on the 30th because I want to watch the movies for September and then also for October when i return, but then SIA has already switched the Krisworld to October's already, so i din get to watch the September one, which is a pity. But anyway, I watched Spiderman 2 and Mean Girls. Spiderman 2 is better than the 1st.
And I slept for 5 hours on the plane!!! Which is a surprise because I never sleep on the planes. Because I choose not to. Because sleeping for 5 hours on the plane means u have 5 hours less on the plane to watch movies and play games, which is always my 1st option on my to do list on the plane.
Anyway, I am home.
