It was a long 13 hours flight from Sin – Paris. I was in deep trouble when the check-in crew at Changi told me there’s no more aisle seat, no more emergency seat and that the one that was issued to me is a middle seat. Oh no!!!!! How am I going to survive in a middle seat for 13 hours. I need to move and stretch my legs.

While I was boarding the plane, noticed that someone took my middle seat. I asked where’s her seat, she gave me a blank look and show me her boarding pass. It’s just across the other side and it’s an aisle seat!! Without further delay, I agree to let her stay put in my seat and I’ll take her aisle seat…Phew!!!

After the last few flights from SQ, I now realized how good is the service and the quality. No doubt SQ is named as one of the best airline. In comparison to the one that I had today, the seat is as hard as a wooden bench, the food is cold, the quality is bad. The fruit seems to be bit and pieces from those canned cocktail. Urgh…Sucks…:(

I’m glad that I popped in a sleeping pill an hour before the flight, else I’ll be a walking zombie now. Not that I slept very well but I did have a few short nap here and there. If not because of butt pain and leg cramp, I think I can sleep thru all the way. I even missed out the 1st meal that they served, I think that was like 1am?? Can’t be bothered with the food at that hour. Sleep is more important J Finally, woke up at 7.30am and head towards the self service area to get water and juice AND a cup noodles….Hmm..Yummy… Snooze again for another 2 hours before they serve breakfast. Food…cannot make it at all….

1.5 hours more to go before I board another 3 hours flight to St.Petersburg. I shall try to get more zzzz again if possible :)

More update to come…..
