Thailand - Krabi Trip (pre-night)

::additional night at Changi Airport::

yes! flying off the next day morning. we have waited for so long, after all the counting down xD. our flight was at 6.35am on Tuesday morning and we have decided to camp at Changi Airport the night before, instead of taking a cab in the middle of the night. imagine we have to check in at 4.35am, what time must we leave house? and especially with all the midnight charges =S

so we have decided to take the last train down to Changi Airport. it was a real tiring day for me as i ended my work at 6pm, and i have rushed down to People's Association HQ for our 4th flashmob dance rehearsal together with Edmund, Ginnette and Xue Ni. and then we have to dump Edmund behind and request to leave early at around 8.45pm.

rushed home, bathe, have dinner, final checking and packing of my bags. meet Fazillah at our hosue bus stop and off we go to Tiong Bahru Plaza to meet Ginnette and Xue Ni.

took train from Tiong Bahru MRT.

OFF WE GO!!~

and yeah, we managed to catch the last train towards Changi at Tanah Merah. we reached Changi at around 11.50pm, we walked to Terminal 3 for our Popeye supper.. but it was still early and we were not that hungry yet, so we did some drawings/colouring with the crayons provided there.

such a big piece of paper, and we coloured until our hand very very tired!! lol.

in the midst of colourings.

YO! final product DONE!!~

we took a few group photos there before going over to Popeye for supper xD.

our group photo ♥

and next, pushed the trolley full of baggage to Popeye at around 12.30am. the queue at Popeye was terribly long, and there's only one counter opened with only one staff serving at the counter.

we queued for like almost half an hour before it's finally our turn to place order, we ordered 2 sets of 2 pcs meal to share together.

we spent for like an hour eating and then we made our way to Terminal 2 to take the free shuttle bus to Budget Terminal.

we took alot of silly photos while on our way to Terminal 2. LOL!!

beware of slippery floor. haha

i like this photo, Ginnette and me looked like we were dancing =D

L.O.V.E ♥

nearer and nearer!

Free Shuttle Bus to Budget Terminal > > >!!

very style & cool picture.

i love to pose with BIG ACTION!! haha

Bus to Budget Terminal.

just right ahead!!

flight timing!~

photo of despair?!

there's actually a shuttle bus behind and we wanted to pose and take a picture together with it, just when we set the camera in timer mode, and we stood down there for 10 seconds. the bus just zoom off all of a sudden before the camera snap the picture.

arghhh. and we ended up having our group photo with blank background. lol. the bus? GONE? and the bus was actually in 30 minutes interval!!~ and so we went back inside the Terminal and sat on the floor to wait.

haha. instead of wasting time down there, we on our music with speaker and practice on our flashmob dance. it was pretty hilarious to see people walking past us looking at us with funny looks!! haha. they must have thought that we were silly to dance at this hour xD

finally, the bus arrived after waiting for 30 minutes. we quickly grabbed hold of the chance to take the bus picture which we did not manage to get just now.

yay! finally with the bus behind!! hahaha.

board the bus at 2.35am.

BUDGET TERMINAL

Enjoy the Difference!

we reached the Budget Terminal at 2.50am. it was crowded with people. some were lying at the chairs, some were facing down at the table taking a nap while waiting for the time to check in.

the people!!

baggage weight.

we weighed our baggage + hand-held to see whether our bag had exceeded the 7kg limit. and besides Fazillah, the rest of us all exceeded the 7kg limit, with me exceeded the most by 1.5kg. oh my!~

it was written clearly that we'll have to pay $18 for every 1kg exceed. omg, i don't want to pay $27 just for that stupid extra 1.5kg!!! i was praying hard that they will not check our baggage weight later on!!~

and so, while waiting for 4.35am, we spent the rest of our time at the McDonald's. we bought Ice Milo, Ginnette and Xue Ni continued their knitting while Fazillah and me switched on our laptop to surf net xD

@ McDonald's... and we were pretending to sleep =X

finally, the counter was opened at 4.20am, and we quickly went over to do group check in. and thank god the guy did not check on our baggage weight xD phew!~

Checking in sooooon!~

our air ticket..

a piece of paper!~ really very budget!!

because.. enjoy the difference =.='''

entering the Departure gate!!!

toilet break!!

and now.... over at the Boarding Gates!!

BON VOYAGE!!

we quickly made our way to Gate 1 which was right at the very far end. it was really very very far, we walked for super long then reached Gate 1. haha.

it was 5am when we reached Gate 1 and we have like one hour to wait before we can board the plane.. ahhhh!~ it's all about waiting and waiting... =/

with our plane behind!!

Group photo xD

Fazillah sleeping on 2 chairs!! lol.

TIGER AIRWAYS!~

and... finally we were able to board the plane at 6.05am.. KRABI, HERE WE GO!~ so lucky, i'm able to have the window seat again!! haha. this was my first time taking budget airline. indeed, the seats were rather cramped, but i'm still okay with it xD

waiting for the plane to take off!!!

anyway, the rest aleady fell asleep while i'm the one still wide awake. there's a small delay and when the plane just took off at 7am, i caught this super nice sunrise!! too bad the rest was sleeping!! haha.

sunrise!~

and soon, i fell asleep too. it was a one and a half hour flight journey!! so excited, we will be reaching Krabi soon xD

and so... my actual Day 1 post will be on my next entry... SOON!~ which i don't know when can i actually finished editing all those photos.. TOO MANY already O_O
