took windows seats and was bombarded by this lower primary Singaporean boy.. he was seated behind me and he can’t sit still for a second at all.. throughout the flight, he was moving around, kicking our seats, making alot of noise and he i enjoying the air turbulence..

yes, we are suppose to arrive Hong Kong at 10:25am but due to the bad weather conditions in Hong Kong, we enjoyed 45 mins of air turbulence experience.. it’s like taking roller coaster in the air, i thought that we’re going to die there.. but the Hong Kong residents on the plane are all either sleeping or reading magazines, to them this is so normal.. but for us, Singaporeans, i think it’s really something very kong bu..
