Escapade.
Guess what,i am out of singapore! Finally got the short break that i wanted to recharge this lame brain of mine.However, the beginning of the jail break ain’t that smooth sailing. Got on the plane last night 210807 at 2030hrs and due for take off at 2045 but flight was delayed for an hour due to the technical problem of water being not available at the taps in the toilets..So, in halting english, the leading steward announced ” Lady and gentlemeeeeen,we cho chorry..there a pobblam in the toilet..there no water..The techicol team now solving the pobblam about the water.Cho chorry for the delay…” Hmm.. that’s something new..flight delays caused by passengers who are late i’ve heard..delays caused by heavy traffic for departures i have heard..but,toilet without water? Thats New!!!!!!
And so i sat there and waited , along with the other passengers who are starting to complain amongst themselves.Some even took out their handphone to commiserate with loved ones that are somewhere out there. Finally, an hour later, the steward came back on ” Halo Lady and gentlemeeeen..we are cho happy to tell you that we have solved the pobblam! the water cannot be fixed!” I almost fell out of my chair when i heard that. Fortunately, before i burst into great peals of laughter, he continued” We now waiting for a bottle of water.Please be informed that during the flight you can still use the toilet.You can still flush but there is no water at the tap. Don’t worry,after you use the toilet, our crew will be there for you with a bottle of water to wash your hands. We cho happy to solve this pobblam and now we wait for a bottle of water and then we can take off. Thank you krup”
Ten minutes later, i believe more than one bottle of water boarded the plane..and with all passengers and water bottles settled in, the plane took off into the night……….

humming 孙燕姿’s 逃亡 while reading your entry…
踩著月光打开车窗 离开这城市想找个解放
一路开往最高那一座山 孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡
我想是偶尔难免沮丧 想离开想躲起来 心里的期待总是填不满.
我看著山下千万的窗 谁不曾感到失望 就算会彷徨也还要去闯
关于未来只有自己明白 不想让心情被现实打败
一路开往最高那一座山 孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡
我站在靠近天的顶端 张开手全部释放
用月光取暖给自己力量 才发现关于梦的答案
一直在自己手上 只有自己能让自己发光

I am afraid that my english is as poor as the leading steward………
How to improve my spoken enlish as i live in Beijing that all the people even speak chinese with the 儿化音…胡同儿….
My family came from the southern china, but i was born in beijing. though there are some difference between northern people and southern people. i love beijing more than other city…
i am sure you’ll love this city as well…looking forward to see you in beijing some day…if there is a new destination most wanted,why don’t you come to beijing?
