Day 3... ITS SATURDAY!!!
Woot. In SG, i would be jumping with glee when its Saturday, cos it means 2 full days of baby and me time! But oh well, i'm in India now. =(
Doesnt matter! I'm still by baby's side! =) Always here for her! =)
Lets recap a lil on how the past few days went by...
Day 1: Woke up at 5am, bathed one last time under the ice cold water in my toilet, took out my bedsheets to let my mum wash them.. Just as i finished bathing, my lil sis was waiting for me by my bedroom door.. wanting me to hug her, and kiss her before i leave... Waked my dad up, and was about to go out, when my dear lil sis started crying, not allowing me to leave... My mum was at her wits end... Cos she knew my sister will really miss me alot, and she cant scold her for crying, as its just my sister's natural emotions... So, she suggested for my sister to join us for breakfast, and my sister stopped crying immediately... We went out to eat roti prata along macpherson road... and headed to PLAB, to prepare for the flight over to India..
6am: went to help load up the pallets up to the "loader"? I don't know the name of that vehicle..
7am: proceeded out to help push the pallets into the C-130 i was about to board later..
8am: went back from the plane to the customs area... "chopped" my passport, so to speak, and went to the toilet anxiously..
8:20am: Boarded the bus that will take us to the plane, and onboard the bus, i saw plenty of anxious, excited faces... Most were like me, off to our first detachment...
8.30am: we reached the plane, and we were waiting for the pilots to arrive, and the rest of the crew who didnt make it up the first bus to arrive..
8.40am: we boarded the plane... and.. my, isnt it squeezy. its cramped, and u cant stretch your legs out.. its like sitting on a sbs bus. those with the super cramped seats..
8.50am: the plane started to taxy out to the taxiway... all of us were getting nervous, and anxious..
9.00am: the engines were up and running, running at optimum speed required to take off, and.... Whoosh! off we went! lifted off PLAB, and was en-route to India... I managed to sneak a few peeks of SG, with a bird's eye view..
9.15am: the long journey has just started.. and its so loud inside the cabin that we cant even hear what the guy beside you is screaming to u.
During the journey, all of us occupied ourselves with psps, laptops, or even try to sleep..
It was only at 2.30pm SG time, that we touched down in India.. Boy, was i relieved.. Cos, one of the 4 engines the plane had, had just malfunctioned about 30mins to 1 hour prior to landing...
Cut the long story short, we cleared customs, and after awhile, we were brought to our bunks to settle down..
Had my first taste of India's indian food, and it was... all curry.. =( but well, i was able to use the net to talk to baby! though i was irritating at times.. but i think its perfectly normal for a guy to have those urges.. =X
Day 2:
Was a busy day! Had to unpack all the containers, and setup the necessary equipment to prepare for the arrival of the main crew.. Worked under the sun the whole day, without ample water... But towards the end, we received news that we do not need to come back to work on sat and sun! so it was a piece of good news to us, as it meant that we can stay in our bunks, relax, play mahjong, talk cock, sleep, cook stuff and eat and such!
Day 3:
Today.
Crazy many rounds of mahjong already! =X Haha!
