Trip to Perth

Im typing this as we are still stuck in Changi Airport. Flight was suppose to be scheduled for 8.10am, but due to technical problems which nobody knew what is happening delayed our flight. Initally, i thought the delay would be an hour or so... But as it drags on and on... It became longer and longer. After 2hrs, the pilot said over the comms that the initial techinal fault was not the one. So the 2hrs was wasted and they are finding the fault all over again. ARGHZ!!!!!

So it dragged and dragged till lunch time. We had our lunch at the transit hall, which we got a couple of free items. To make it simple, 5 person ticket meals but we got ard 8 meals. Too bad alcohol was not free... Else there would be 5 drunk travellers in Changi Terminal. Haha... Anyway... The pilot later informed us that the flight will take off at 1.30pm. But the ground engineers are taking too long to remedy the situation therefore the flight is further delayed. Now the major problem that we do not know when are we flying, what time will we land and what is the compensation of this major delay. Seriously, i do hope they refund at least 25% of our ticket price.

Im not sure if the car rental company will charge us for the rent of today. I do hope that when we arrive there, we have a smooth entry and quick paperwork to access our car. And lastly, we find a good hotel and park our butts there. Waiting is so tiring and my PSP is running low on batt. One of my buddy is gonna explode soon if we do not receive any news about the flight. I do hope we can make such a big explosion that we can get a direct flight to perth! If thats the case, forget about the 25% refund!
