Day 9

Woke up this morning at about 6. Was chatting with Teng Yang until 2am earlier on and wasn't exactly intending to sleep, but somehow darkness and a nice bed makes it a conducive environment to do so. Oh well, 4 hours of sleep. So when I woke up, I realised that people had MSNed me, and I'm half-awake trying to figure out what they're saying, since the brain can't really function that well in the morning.

We were driven to the airport at about 10am, and due to LAX's highly inefficient system, we were very slow at the group check in, but at least we were able to board on United Airlines on time. So, there isn't a personal in-flight entertainment system, so must plan certain things to do. So I got out my Physics homework that CCK had set for us. Many thanks to Shu Wen (sat beside me), Manek (sat across the aisle) and Eddy (sitting in front of me) for the help in Pro Physics qns / PT / Kinematics 9.1. What was really hilarious was when Manek was teaching me, cos there were people constantly walking along the aisle, and the teaching was constantly interrupted.

Ok, so on the plane, there was this random American movie, and then Spiderwick Chronicles, Definitely Maybe, Hannah Montana and the Suite life of Zack and Cody. Spiderwick Chronicles I watched before, so nothing new there. Definitely maybe was definitely, or maybe a bit touching at certain parts. Of course, there's the complicated love life of the main character, being ditched and being rejected at marriage. And since United gave such lousy headphones, I used my phone ear phones instead which had the nice paddings for the ear. However, the jack wasn't a best fit, so I had to place my hand to hold the jack there, so that audio could play.

Food wise, there were pretzel snacks shortly after take off. And then lunch was served within an hour - teriyaki chicken, with extremely overcooked/uncooked hard rice, chicken ham salad, some random bun and a really sweet cake. And at the 8th hour of the flight, there was CUP NOODLES! WTF. And the flight attendants were basically going around with hot water. I'm so sure lorh. I haven't eaten cup noodles for so long that i can't even remember when was the last time I had it. And dinner was quite good, it was served at the 13th hour of the flight, 1 hour before touch down. Food wasn't too bad. Pasta, fruits, cinnamon glazed donut and some raspberry shortcake.

Currently, I am in HK airport waiting for my return flight to Singapore. Just a bit longer, say in 5 more hours time, I will be back in Singapore already?
