We were suppose to leave for Hong Kong around 1pm. BUT God knows what happen, Tiger Airways changed our flights about 2 months before the trip. So! we end up leaving Singapore at around 4:30pm and will only reach 5 hours later (no time difference between HK & SG).
While waiting at the departure terminal, I got interview by a lady from “Singapore Talking”. They were basically asking me some questions pertaining low-cost carrier. I think the show airs on the 15 December 2010 at 9 or 10pm.
Let’s just hope I don’t look/sound like a complete idiot.
Before I board up the plane I managed to snap this picture. However, some guy (probably from the security department) signalled that I shouldn’t be doing that. What the hell! How often will I have planes lined-up in front of me.
I don’t know why but I find the boarding pass damn amusing. I thought they went “over board” on the budget side.
Since we can’t be bothered to buy the overpriced in-flight food or beverages, we were hungry bungry by the time we touchdown. I tried to look for Popeyes in the airport (because it’s Halal there) but no one could help me to navigate my way there including the sales stuff at the arrival hall. Plus, the rest would like to reach the hotel a.s.a.p so that we could explore the area around the hotel. So they end up grabbing some fish burgers and I bought some bread from 7-11. We took a cab from the airport to Mong Kok. We decided to go with taxi as we realised that the MTR would cost us slightly more. With the luggage and all, the cab seems more convenient.
By the time we reach the hotel, we got excited with our suite. So we spend about 15-25 mins going gu-gu-ga-ga over our room before we decide explore our hotel surroundings. Below is the map where our hotel is located.
Pop Hotel – 950 Canton Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon
By the way, meet the gang (from right to left) RS, Syarfa & Shile. Happily posing outside the lobby of Pop Hotel.
(Obviously, this picture wasn’t taken on our first day. Hint: H&M paper bag! )
