Singapore to Shanghai on SIA

The Singapore Girls at the entrance smiled and greeted me as i entered the plane. The smell of the plane put me at ease. Finally i felt like i am at home:) Another flight stewardess directed me to my seat and gave me a hot towel shortly afterwards with a smile as always:) I barely listened to the safety brief after push-back.(It was always the same). Finally, the plane began to taxi to the runway.

Ok. So, recently i flew to Shanghai on the Singapore Airlines Boeing777. It was a red-eye flight.

Well, the flight was the same more or less. Maybe, because i took the route too many times already.

Well, anyways, the flight was delayed as usual at Changi airport for around 10 minutes until we can take-off.

The takeoff roll was exhilarating as always, especially when the N1 increases from around 50% to Take off power. After takeoff, at around FL390, the plane levelled off. The inflight entertainment began and the  seatbelt sign was turned off.

So here was what i did. Feeling thirsty, i went to the galley to get a drink. So, the pretty stewardess who greeted me just now was there. I asked her for a cup of coffee and she smiled and proceeded to pour me a cup of coffee. Holding the cup of coffee, I walked back to my seat. Well, looks like i did not need the coffee to brighten my mood:)

i changed the channel to M! Countdown. To my delight, BoA was performing Only one:) After it ended, i changed to channel 9 to hear more kpop and channel 12 to hear some chinese songs. After some searching, i found that there was SNSD-TTS twinkle and tuned to it. After that i took out my flying checklist and began revising.

I shall not talk much about the food as it is nothing fantastic, but come to think of it, my favourite food is airplane food!

I got board about 3.5 hours into the flight. So bored such that i was sorely tempted to go and flirt with that air stewardess. Her name is Sharon by the way. Since there were few people on the flight, i decided to go and have a chat with her. So, she was 20 and that was her 15th flight as a Singapore Girl. She graduated from Ngee Ann polytechnic and decided to be an air stewardess to see the world. Well, we had some idle chat about kpop and talked about our travels for about an hour.(She also likes SNSD!! :)) Well some of you may be wondering if it is allowed. It is not. But since it was a red-eye flight and she was the only one t the galley area, she stayed up and we talked.

I was sad when the plane began to descend. But at least i got her number and some more coffee and snacks before heading to my seat. We promised to keep in touch.

So the plane descended for the runway. and the plane landed quite gently. The vertical speed was maybe -50 feet/min? After the plane parked at the gate, i was the last passenger to leave. The captain was out there and I thanked him. I think he probably knew that i was a pilot. As i walked out of the plane, pulling my  luggage, i caught Sharon's eye and winked. Hopefully, i will get to see her again:)
