Delay

I am writing in Changi Airport right now. Still waiting for the departure time... 1 hour more to departure time....
Cannot wait for report to you all that.... AGAIN!!! Air China delayed again....
If you were reading newspaper or watching the news on tv, you might heard that there was snow storm in Beijing on Dec 30 which had caused many flights were delayed.
And I am the one of victims....

We had entered the craft without any problem. I found my seat and sit on it, waiting for the take-off announcement.
I did hear the announcement, but not for take-off..... it was announcement that there were big snow storm in beijing so that we have to wait for 2 hours in plane, sitting on the narrow seat.... Phew, I hope they have the information before we get in to the flight.... so that i can take the time for window-shopping in duty free shops hehehe
By the way, it was my first time to take flight from Kansai Airport without take the monorail to the departure gate.
I didn't know that there is Gate 111 in Kansai Airport which we no need to take the monorail, but have to take the bus to reach to the plane itself and take the stairways to get in.

I supposed to arrive at Beijing Airport on 12:20 but at last arrived at Beijing on about 14:00.
My next flight was 15:30. Ok, still have time for the next flight.
I ran to the transit counter but were told that the flight also delayed to 17:30
..... no words....
To the really really bad weather, no body to complain.
Just my bad luck... why must every time I take the Air China, she have to be delayed .... T_T

The result, the flight didn't depart from Beijing on 17:30 but 19:00 and I arrived at Changi Airport on 01:30AM (arrive time should be 21:30) My parents have waited for me at airport. Poor them for waiting for me till late night. It should be sleep time for them .... But to my surprise, they still very "genki" in this late night hahaha

I took the pictures at Beijing Airport and Changi Airport (Budget Terminal) but can't upload now.
Will upload when I back home. See you again and Happy New Year!

Back Home

Ticket to Singapore OK.
Ticket to Phuket OK.
Hotel at Phuket OK.
Live-Aboard Reservation OK.
Omiyage (gift?) for family OK.
(more than half of my suitcase contains omiyage haha)

Everythings had OK. The only thing to do is packing and counting days to Dec 30!! Will take Air China so got to transit at Beijing. It will be a tough trip, depart at 10 morning and arrive at 10 night!!
Too bad the business class on this route had full booking, otherwise I can upgrade by using my mileage....
Anyway, had upgrade for my Singapore - Beijing route. Looking foward for my first business class :)

The last thing to do is Pray! Praying for no any delay on the flight! (still remember the delay on Air China for my London trip?)
I have to take my flight on the next day, Dec 31 to Phuket. By Tiger Airways... the budget airlines from Singapore.
Hope there is no delay also for flight to Phuket. Phew.. cheap flight... so worry...

My schedule :
Dec 30 Osaka - Beijing - Singapore
Dec 31 Singapore - Phuket
Jan 1 - 2 Phuket
Jan 3 Phuket - Singapore - Bintan
Jan 3 - 8 Bintan and Batam Island
Jan 8 - 9 Batam - Spore - Beijing - Osaka

Wish me Luck !

Merry X'mas

Christmas day... still working in office... yup... Christmas day is not a holiday in Japan. My friends still very surprise when i telling them today is not holiday in Japan. I thought I did told them last year or last last year that Christmas day IS NOT HOLIDAY in Japan....

In spite of Christmas day is not holiday in Japan, Japanese celebrate Christmas more than Indonesian, I think (Christmas day is a national holiday in Indonesia) All streets are full with Christmas decoration, Christmas illumination, Christmas song etc etc Everyday on december till Dec25 will have a ceremony to turn on the light of illumination of Christmas tree. Everybody reserve a Christmas cake, eat turkey etc etc (I saw a big truck full with Christmas cakes, very surprising. One of them is ours though heheh We had reserved it for our Christmas party at my friend's home). The most surprising that Christmas day is just like Valentine day in Japan. I personally very surprise when Hirai Ken been asked his opinion about Christmas. He would like to spent a whole night with his girlfriend in a suite room in a hotel, enjoying the champagne while soaking in the bath tub together. NO! That is valentine not christmas!! ーー；

Ah forget it, I am not celebrating Christmas anyway hehehe No need to grumble in here :P I just need 1 day more holiday (too greedy huh)

Last but not least, I would like to wish you all ☆ A Merry Merry Christmas ☆ Hope this Christmas is bringing all the joyness and happiness to you!!

帰国

珍しく朝6時に目覚ました。土曜日なのに　
てか、昨日からパソコンつなぎっぱなしだし　またもったいないことしちゃった　あぁ～
ていうことで、朝からブログを書こうと。

木曜日に帰国のためのチケットを旅行会社から受けました。中国国際航空でｗ
前回イギリスに行った時も中国国際航空だったんですけど、大変でした。
あまりここに長い説明できないが、結局イギリスに着いたのは1日遅れた。
何が起こった？知りたい？英語になるけど、これも読んで　→　Air China ＾＾；
ま、読んでなくても、大体分かるよね

ひどい目あったが、今回もまた中国国際航空を乗ろうとしてる。なぜなら一番安いから！
12月30日出発なのに、込みこみ6万円！この安さ多分どこもないと思う。
いつもお世話になってる旅行会社から特別プライスを出してくれたの。

国に帰るというけど、航空券はシンガポールまで。シンガポールからまたさらに船で実家に帰ります。
大変なんで、いつも直行便にする。今回は初めて乗り継ぎ便にしました。

前回イギリスで貯まったマイレージでビジネスクラスアップグレード。
残念なことに、北京→シンガポール区間はすでにフルブッキングなんで、シンガポール→北京区間だけアップグレードできました。

初ビジネスクラス、楽しみ♪

Piano

Lagi malas kerja ... ngeblog aja akh ...

Semalam nemenin teman gw beli cincin. Buat propose cewe-nya bo!! Ga nanggung2, belinya cincin Cartier, Christmas Limited Edition 2006. Harganya sekitar USD 2000. Denger dari dia sih emang mesti beli cincin yg setidaknya seharga 3 kali gaji. Padahal ga ada duit tuh dia, sampe bokap-nya minjemin kartu kredit gold ke dia hehehe (ceritanya bokapnya juga sreg banget ama calon mantu)

Baru aja masuk dept store, liat2 bentar langsung menuju konter Cartier. Belum 10 menit langsung OK! Pulang ditraktir makan cake favorit gw di HARBS. hihihi Kita sampe bikin bbrp rencana gimana nyerahin cincin buat cewenya. Pokoknya harus romantis, apalagi udah rencananya propose pas christmas eve. Ditambah emang suasana christmas di jepang pas malam penuh dengan kerlap-kerlip di jalanan. Pas banget deh.

Jadi ingat ama clipnya lagu Jo Sung Mo, "Piano" . Di klip tsb Jo Sung Mo loncat2 berpura2 mau metik bintang di langit, begitu buka telapak tangannya, ternyata ada cincin di genggamannya heheheh Kayanya jayus banget tapi teman gw punya niat doing the same thing kaya Jo Sung Mo hihihihi Barusan tadi gw kasih CD gw yg ada klip lagu Piano ini :P

Gw suka banget ama lagu "Piano" Ini lagu Jo Sung Mo yg pertama kali gw denger, jadi langsung suka ama suaranya. Video klipnya yg My First juga ok loh. Apalagi ada aktor favorit gw di klip, Oosawa Takao & Kim Jeung Un.

Semalam abis pulang ke rumah langsung nyari lagi di youtube. Ternyata masih ada. Padahal lumayan lama juga nih lagu. Kalo ga salah lagu th 2003. Would like to share with you guys. Here you are:

Xmas Party

Yesterday went to christmas party which held by my diving club. Yeah, quite early for christmas party anyway heheh We had seminar about diving from 13:30 ~ 17:30 and the party started on 18:30
Too bad, I was not fit on that day. Very bad stiff neck plus headache. It was ok on the seminar, but dun know, maybe too tired when attend that long seminar...
Very regret couldn't enjoy the party. Only ate a little bit of food although they look delicious to me. I thought I could be better by eating some food, but no appetite at all....
At last, i went home by taxi while the party still goes on.... yeah, went back without join the game in the party. Who knows I can hit a big prize if I could join the game haha
Anyway, in a bad headache condition, I still joined the auction and got a new APEX XTX50 regulator (diving equipment) which cost 120,750yen for only 22,000yen!!! :D
