Hey guys! I'm back! Well, to be precise i was back 5 days ago!! I know and i'm sorry i kept postponing this kind of post. I did try to post it out 2 days ago but the internet failed and i lost the post instantly and i was trying to recap the moments.
So we went on the 21st September, yes i know it was also the first day of Raya this year. Sad. But no choice, it was a "take it or leave it" situation. A trip to Japan is really had to get. I know we broke the traditional raya celebration this year, but the family understands us that time. We actually have a spare time for a small gathering at Nini's house on the morning. We greeted, ate, laughed and vained a little.

After that we said our goodbyes and rushed back home, changed to our "flight clothes", grabbed the bags, byes to the kitties and high sped to the airport. We were running late already and i had the feeling of forgetting something, i hoped all the way that it was just something small that i would forget. Reached the airport and rushed to the check-in counter...luckily we were just in time but no minutes to spare, after we got the tickets, we went straight to the gate and into the plane.
It wasn't the ordinary RBA plane, It was a Singapore airline namely Silk Air. It's coz we were on a package deal to Japan and Brunei doesn't give one-way flight all the way to Japan. So Singapore is the other option. In the plane looks normal except, there was this couple passengers on my side. The wife was very very obnoxious and nagging-ful. She kept on complaining to the stewardress that she has a connecting flight at 3pm when the plane lands and wanted to get seat nearest to the door. I mean, "HEY!! LADY, you bought the ticket in the economy and so not the business. What did you do to deserve to move to business just to be early for you flight?!" well at the end, the stewardress let the couple moved to business...the stewardress was annoyed already AHAHA. But when i looked at the husband i can see that he was really embarrassed by his wife. Well he couldn't do anything to stop with a wife like that, pfft what a wife, so damn controlling.
We landed in Singapore about 3 hrs later. Why?? For a transit of course, We can just travel all the way to Japan on a small plane. The flight from Singapore to Japan alone is 7 hrs! in a cold, re-circulated airconditioning huge plane. When we were in Singapore, we had hours to spare. The flight to Japan is at 11pm..so we shopped a little in the Duty-Free airport stores and after that we went to town and changed our money and ate McD's after that back to the airport.
It wasn't the normal Terminal 3 that we went into (Iffy u might know Terminal 3 since you always travel to Singapore..don't tell me you didn't notice -,-). This was new, we went into the Terminal 2. And OMG that terminal is luxurious! Not sure about Terminal 1 though, it could be more luxurious than what i saw at Terminal 2! The entrance there was greeted with a big pin wheel! and it was motorized..ok why should i be excited over that???
Look!! It's that motorized big pin wheel that i suddenly got excited about -,-'
ATTEMPT FAILED!! we were trying to take a pic of the plane AHAH
Sis and Babah was in a leg massage machine. SMILE!!Anyway there was more inside, the Duty-Free stores inside....i don't think it's still worth having the Duty-Free word. The stores inside were extremely branded!! I saw Louis Vuitton, Burberry, D&G, Ferrari and even Prada!! I was like "Whoa~!!" i don't think people buy thing from there, it looks too expensive. But HEY! the electronics there are with an affordable price!
At the end, we rushed again to the gate! *sigh* i hate not being on time. We went in the plane. Guys! I tell you, it was not an ordinary everyday plane you would use to travel. It was a double decker plane!! Namely Singapore's very own SQ638
OMG! It was uberly huge! DOUBLE DECKER! i ensure you it was not the London double decker bus, this is a real plane. We walked in the plane, our first sight was a two seater, big enough to roll in place then we move a further distance where we should be seating. There were 3 rows, each a three seater but HEY! that's ok! It was luxury for me, i mean every seat behind the head-rest was a small television implanted!
It was so cool it was even better that having that installed in your car!. Fasten seat belt and i looked around. OMG!! JAPANESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! i listen to their voices, it made me smile!. I looked to my side, AWWWW a cute little japanese boy! sleeping soundly already. Even a young kid i like his hair. and he has cute eyes! I wonder what he would look like when he grows up and i grow old AHAHA.
I looked around for the remote to control the installed tv, found it! and as i look at the side of it, i found a sign saying "INSERT CREDIT CARD HERE" and i was like O,O A CREDIT CARD SWIPER?!?!??! they are asking us to buy things on the plane???????? I forgot about it soon and explored the movie selections. A lot appeared! i didn't know what to choose so i explored the music selections and a lot too. All the latest, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, in memory Michael Jackson, Britney Spears adn even The Jonas Brothers...as i was missing my friends i played the songs that reminded me of them AHAH.
The stewardress served a pocket bread for as they call it "SUPPER"...it actually tasted like tuna pizza. Well that was nothing out of the ordinary. I slept through the remaining night. Waking up to see the rising sun of Japan. It was beautiful. Eating breakfast, served was tender tender salmon. I wish to taste that again. It was nicely cooked too and not raw sashimi. An hour plus later we reached Narita Airport; Japan. We were not actually in Tokyo yet, there was still a journey to take.

From the plane and after some picture taking
off we went to the immigration counter. The guy at the counter was none other than a cute japanese guy though he gave a serious look. Nervous, i walked up to him a got my passport checked, he spoke english better than what i expected but i can see he had a hard time try to pronounce. I don't blame.
After the family got checked and we got our bags, Potty Break!! AHAHAH i can't believe what i saw. THE TOILET WAS AUTOMATED WITH A WASHER!! i mean an automatic washer for where you pee and make a doodie! I was playing with it, curious of what button to press next. They even have a flush sound button just incase you want people to hear that you're in that toilet or you're done with you business. Over all I'm so glad that Japan provide washing. Then i don't have to worry about making a doodie AHAH.
One step closer to Tokyo.........
