The Dim Sum In Terminal 3

Unfortunately, this is not a food review. I apologise to anyone who was searching for the secrets of the delightful Chinese snacks, but landed up here instead.

Indeed my friends, the Siew Mai has found herself in Changi Airport's Terminal 3.

Except that her flight back to the other side of the world leaves from Terminal 1.

Well, the high-flying dumpling just happened to find some (a lot) of free time and so I have made that gruelling 3 minute journey from familiar territories into the unknown. It is quite exciting, I must say. All these high-end shops that seem to be glaringly absent from the other terminals. Unless I am just that out of touch with things here in Changi (and that is actually very possible).

Many fellow frequent flyers will agree with me about this frustratingly constant lack of available terminals for the free Internet access in T1 and T2. Rejoice, my brethren, for I have found a cozy little nook in T3, where there are Internet terminals for the picking. Give the GST refunds a thought the next time you fly.


Alas, the timer tells me that there is less than 4minutes 20seconds left on my current session. So I shall end my soliloquy here. Although seeing how there is nobody breathing down my Jaggad jersey for their time with the Internet, I will probably be logging in yet again.

Until the next bamboo basket steams, fare thee well...

Back to Aberdeen!

Free airport internet!! Yay!!

I think Singapore is still the only place in the world where you don't have to pay for internet usage in the airport. That my friends, is one of the things that keep Singapore as MY country of choice. Sure, there are faults and things to gripe about. But! I wouldn't give up my red passport unless I actually didn't have a choice.

So yes, I am here in Changi Airport. Waiting to go onto the plane which was delayed for about 10 minutes. I suppose I should actually go into the boarding gate, but well.. I was bored and decided to watch the end bit of "Heroes" and have a kueh salat from Bengawan Solo. No such thing as nonya kueh in Aberdeen, OK...

Some crazy China woman has tried to bring the luggage trolley down the escalator... Obviously, it tipped over and down went her luggage. She has single-handedly managed to cease operations of the escalator. Well done.

KK... S'pose I'd really better be off. They will soon call for boarding. Will post again when I am back in the Deen!
