Hong Kong Extended

The view from our room at W hotel.


We woke and headed out early for some last minute shopping before our flight in the afternoon. And to have our last bowl of wanton mee in HK.

Okay, so this is not really a standard bowl of wanton mee. It has wantons, fish paste ball, and beef slices. Not too bad, just that I thought the fish paste ball tasted weird as they added orange peel into the paste.

And so we went to the airport happily waiting to board our flight home to see our girls.

Who would have thought the trip home became an ultimate nightmare.

Long long long story short: Our flight was scheduled to depart at 320pm. At around 420pm, yes, we were still waiting in the plane, we were informed that there will be a delay as there was a technical fault which they were trying to fix. At 515pm, we were told to disembark from the plane as the plane cannot be flown. At 630pm, we are told that they need to wait for the spare parts to fly in from Singapore, and the estimated time of departure has been pushed to 1130pm. In the end, we departed around close to midnight, and reached Singapore at 4am. Argh! So much for refusing to take Tiger Airways as I was afraid that there will be delays which we cannot afford because of our very tight schedule.

Thank you SQ.
