Flight mode


Its been 4 yrs since my last flight to China, feels kinda exciting and nervous at the same time.

This time we managed to go to some shops in duty free, and I went bananas when I saw Victoria secret. I got a body spray from VS and a Loreal powder cause I was on the hunt for a bronzer but I guess getting a powder that is 2+ shades darker will do just fine. The price if items in duty free is definitely cheaper then the retail shops but I find its still affordable to purchased via internet.
The plane today is really packed and we didn’t get a window seat, but its good we are still sitting together. There was heaps of turbulence, and not able to see what’s happening out side makes the subtle vibrations all the more sensitive and worrying. I guess I’ve been watching too many plane crash documentaries.

Not sure about you guys but I miss the good old days when you get freebies on the plane. You know, the little cute cosmetic bag with a sleeping mask, tooth brush, tooth paste and if your really lucky a comb. And I remember when I first flied to Australia (we needed to change flights), the kids on board get a little cute back pack with coloring sheets, crayons and some kinda of little toy. My fav was a back pack in the shape of a little boy with its head as the opening. Ahhh, the good old days.
We’ve been on this flight for about 6 hours and it really goes to show boredom kicks in fast when there is no internet. I have eaten, slept, turned my phone on and off, been to the bathroom twice and read my book. I wanted to make a video but the engine sound is really loud and there are a lot of people walking about. On the upside, we are sitting next to our friends who are getting married over seas (Congrats guys).
James is now really bored that he is counting the hours we have left on the plane (ahh Tubulance again >.<) and twiddling this thumbs.
I’m actually writing this on words so I can post is when I get home (yay internet).

I will log off now and try to entertain James. And I’m hungry again, the girl next to me is eating an egg, how did she bring that on board????

Its now my 1st day here, omg the 13hr plane ride nearly killed me. By the 11th hour I was dying slowly inside and keeping my body up straight was a struggle. The interesting thing is our luggage didn’t get to our final destination and now I’m still wearing my dirty set of cloths, yes including my undergarments. And don’t get me started on my skin, it looked soo bad last night that you can literally hear my pores screaming for hydration and the feeling of newborn pimples.
I guess today is better, cause I had a 6hr sleep and also done a facial in the morning. However I still miss and NEED my luggage, my precious cosmetics and my fresh set of cloths.
Travelling with never feel as comfortable as being home, there is an old Chinese saying “Gold house, Silver house, nothing can beat my dog house”. I miss my lil YY very much, and is good to know she is in the care of my trusty sister.
I still feel a little drowsy, but when I close my eyes I still feel like I’m on the plane with the altitude and turbulence sways. Last night during sleep I can still hear the roaring of the engine, tis was not a good sleep.

Well that’s enough of my whine.
Hope all goes well with James’ operation.
