SQ979 BKK-SIN Y
Proceeded to the money changer to change my Thai baht back to Singapore dollars. I had a rather good service at first, but things changed after that. The person smiled at first and gave me the usual Thai greeting, asked me what currency I want to change for. I said "Singapore dollar." She replied "Hong Kong dollar?" I repeated again, "Singapore dollar". She wasn't too happy after that and didn't said anything else except passing me the money. Not even a word of thank you.
I continued to wandered around in the airport, taking some pictures. Not long after, the final call for my flight SQ979 was issued. I proceeded to Concourse D for a security check with my family and the immigration officer did a thorough check on my hand luggage and everything that was to be brought onboard. As the plane was to depart in 15 minutes, the ground staff showed the final call placards to those queuing up at Concourse D. After passing through security check, my family and I boarded the plane. This time, there were people behind us, so we were not exactly the last. Walked passed the C cabin which was not full and proceeded to my seat. I sat at seat B, and the window seat was taken up by somebody else.
Shortly after settling down, the plane started to taxi towards the runway. I did not take any photos from the window, although the person seating beside me asked me I wanted to swap with her, I declined her offer. Food was served shortly after takeoff, since this flight was supposedly shorter (2 hours 5 minutes). I did not particularly like the service on this flight with the LSS ignoring my requests, making me rather unhappy (nicest way to put it, I feel like using something worse, but don't know whether it was inappropriate or not) with her. The other FA was slightly better but was way below that of the cabin crew ex-SIN. I turned on my KrisWorld, looked at flight path for a while, before deciding to watch a movie onboard. The aircraft registration was 9V-SYA, thus AVOD is not available. I was looking at the range of movies in the movie list, and settled for Wild Hogs since I haven't watched that yet. The show already started (that's why I dislike non-AVOD IFE systems) but never mind, just eight minutes. The LSS asked me what I would like to have, fish or chicken (as usual). I asked her whether I could take a look, she was reluctant, but relented in the end. I settled for the fish since I didn't find the chicken appetising. The fish was okay, though not to my standards. I had something much better (sweet and sour pork) on SQ67 (the old flight number for SQ979) with way better service. The dessert was inedible imo, compared to something pleasant last year. The salad was good though its some Thai-style curry? salad.
Continued to watch my movie and the LSS pushed the trolley serving passengers drinks. She asked what I want, I pondered for half a minute. Later, I said water but she simply ignored me. Shame on this particular LSS, what service do you have. I asked the other stewardess and she didn't give me my water, though she said "sure". How disappointing... I continued to watch my show but later felt sleepy. I was half asleep and was dozing off slowly. I decided to turn off KrisWorld and take a short nap. Dozed off and woke up 20 minutes before landing, feeling much better. The plane started to descend, and I took a look at the view from the window and saw the nightlights of Singapore, HDB flats, skyline, and the glaring spotlights at the Marina East golf course. The plane continued descending and it finally touched down at SIN. It taxied to Gate F41 for disembarkation and I saw T3 along the way, seeing some planes parked there (all SQ planes, except for 1 BA 744). T3 looks nice and I hope to travel from there when it opens next year, provided I go on somewhere far away from Singapore. It taxied along the flyover above Airport Boulevard and proceeded to the gate. When the plane came to a complete halt, everybody started to get up from their seats and waited to disembark. This marked the end of my holiday and I was back home safe and sound.
Proceeded to immigration after that and had my passport done in a minute or two. After that, went to Belt 35 to claim my baggage and that's the end of my trip report minus pics.
