SIN-LAX-YVR

Home Sweet Home. After 10 days of travelling, i bid farewell to LA again and return home from a long flight. 18 over hours from LA. I almost collasped on the plane cos it was so uneasy. Though it was Cathay Pacific, the long distance did irk me a lot. I was walking up and down the whole time, either to the toilet or pantry. hahha... I even stood at the back of the plane to chill out. Dearie couldnt take it too. Cos we felt bored during the flight.

Well, we almost finish the entire entertainment system. From Singapore to LA, LA to Vancouver, Vancouver to LA then LA to Singapore. They had the same entertainment system and we got to watch the same movies and programs. Its damn sian lor. I din know Cathay and Air Canada shared the same entertainment system! The return flight was painful. However, if i was to compare to China Airlines, i think Cathay is a lot better in terms of seats and everything.

Thankfully, the transit time was short. We transited in Hong Kong and it was only abt an hour. The return trip from LA is even shorter. By the time we reach HK, it was already 720pm and the connecting flight to Singapore was 755pm. Ha.. We became one of the last few passengers to board the plane. Well, there was a slight delay from the LA flight. On the other hand, the flight to LA was better. I guess we were very excited then so we din feel anything.

For the first time, i took Air Canada to Vancover from LA. Damn fun. I would give quite a good rating for the plane hardware. Touch screen entertainment system, better leg room and reliable. There was no delay on the flight and everything was as per scheduled. Like any other western airlines, the stewardess were pretty old. No food was served cos you need to purchase on board. Only non alcoholic drinks are complimentary. By the way, its not a budget airline.

It was a 2 hr 15 min flight from LA to Vancouver. It was an easier flight, more like Singapore to Bangkok kind of flight. I have been to LA Airport, so i wasnt that impressed. However, Vancouver Airport was damn good! Very nice setting and comfortable. The downside is, it seems that the airport traffic is not heavy at all. Big airport with little passengers. Come to think of it, probably they are gearing up for the Winter Olympics in 2010.

They could easily fight our Changi Airport or other regional airports in Asia. On our return trip from Vancouver, dearie and i even had lunch at the airport while waiting for the plane to depart. haha... Quite cool and comfy. Oh man, i have so much to talk abt the trip. Shall do it another day. I need to get prepare to go to the gym. Ate too much junk food and its time to exercise.

Oh yes. My 37 inch LCD TV is here liao. WOW! Its nice and i love it. So relaxing to sit in front of the tv and chill away the nite. I had a new DVD player too. Yay! Finally! The old 29 inch CRT TV is gone for good. 14 over years since we bought in 1994. The old TV shifted from my former residence in Toa Payoh to Sengkang. Can you believe it? hahaha... Shall catch more TV if i have the time!
