Fish's Underwater World

My first trip to London. More nervous than excited. Had waves of LS. Lousy stomach. Nervous cos i was afraid i would forget to bring sth (which i did. I did not bring any passport sized photos) and data that i might need for lab discussion here. One near mishap nearly occurred on my way to the airport. I dropped the luggage key on the cab. Luckily the cab driver saw and passed it back to me. Phew.

The girls at Changi airport. See us luggin many hand baggae. I had three pieces-wind breaker, gold sling bag and side carry laptop bag. Will develop muscles lor.

My first travelling experience with BA. It sucks. First the seats are very crammed. Even for me, a girl! I was sandwiched between two guys. The Norwegian guy on the left and the aisle guy. Poor Norwegian guy. He was tall and had to squeeze into the window seat. So he took occasional walks to prevent DVT. To do that, he had to bypass me and the aisle guy. Each time, we had to file out. Similar rules applied for toilet visits. The Norwegian guy did not take the main meals on board. He just asked for bread and butter (which the crew conveniently forgot. wonder how hungry he was at the end of the flight). Second, the in flight entertainment did not have the convenience of video on demand. You could only watch the movie from whichever part they are showing.

Arrived in the wee hours of the morning. Din have much sleep on board. Cos of the sardines conditions. When i was sound asleep, i was awakened by the Norwegian guy. Wanted to scream then. Since we arrived so early, we could not check into the hotel yet.

Look at the time. and the luggage that i had to lug.

We took the Heathrow express to Padidngton before changing to a cab. There is even a businees class section with tables provided for people to work on the express train... Which i dont think is necessary. Just take 15 min of time.On the heathrow express.
