Back in Singapore
After a very long travel (20 hours or more), I am back in Singapore. I will write some afterthought during this travel.
1) There exists food that tastes the same with SAF combat ration (the old version in the 90s). The food was served as lunch by the flight. The thing that made it worse is that I will be taking the same flight when returning to Canada...
2) If anyone of you have seen the SAF advertisment, you will see the same phenomenon at the taxi area at Changi airport terminal. Basically seven taxis will come in and park. Afterwhich, the attendent will direct the people to the respective taxis. Once all taxis are filled, the attendent will stop the passenger flow and allow the taxi to go off, at the same time, ushering more taxis to come in and the process repeat. The interesting thing is also when moving out, you will see an army of taxi out on the expressway.
3) SQ 800++ series has a lot space between the seats, which is pretty nice. Although the SQ flight will only take me to Hong Kong. The airline bringing me from Hong Kong to Canada does not have that much spaces...looking forward to 15 hours of sufferings.
4) Before I was in Canada, I used to find air-con area sometimes too cold for comfort. Now I find them too warm for comfort.
5) Canada hottest day in summer is not even as hot as an average day in Singapore.
6) Canada rainy days are not as heavy as a normal rainy day in Singapore.
7) You can walk a distance of three bus-stops or more in Canada without sweating (even in summer!) but you will sweat profusely in Singapore even by walking to the nearby coffe-shop.
8) Jet lag is as bad as what people describe. Either that or I have high resistance to it.
9) For a split of a second, I forgot that Singapore operates using left-hand drive, resulting in a short wave of panic in the taxi.
10) The Guess x3 show broadcasted in Singapore lagged behind Taiwan by 5 weeks or more.

I guess that is why Singaporeans need to go overseas to appreciate or 'appreciate'the 'good' things Singapore govt has helped us to achieve. Looking forward to the day I become a 'quitter'.Hahaha! Have fun in Singapore, pal.
