Budget Terminal Illness

Well I had chosen to take Tigerair to Hanoi as it was the cheapest means of getting there. But since March, Tigerair now runs its operations in the *deng deng deng* BUDGET TERMINAL!!!

I was appalled at the initial idea for the budget terminal..I mean WHY??? Whats wrong with T1&T2.. Why do you have to segragate the Budgeters (budget airline patrons) from the normal ones? Why do you put them in what seems like a warehouse? Why isn't there aircon (well there was air conditioning...but for the longest time I had the impression that there wouldnt be) WHY? WHY? WHY?

So my grandad drove me to the terminal and well when I arrived in the Merc, the people sitting outside Han's kept pointing and whispering to themselves....It was pretty obvious that they were talking about the 'rich' kid who was taking a budget flight...I could just imagine their conversation..

Man: Wah! this budget terminal not bad hor? Got Han's somemore..I wonder when Airasia is moving over?

Woman: Yah Lor! So nice right just like a warehouse! and so cheap somemore! Wah I tell you ar! I bought my tickets to vietnam at $8 leh!

Man: Wah so cheap ar? But got tax right! Aiyo stupid tax..luckliy got budget terminal otherwise must pay more hor..I cannot imagining paying another extra $10 just to take the plane from T1 or T2... $10 leh..can buy cirgrettes...

Woman: Yah lor, yah lor! ay! what brand you smoke ah?

Man: The cheapest one lor...Pan Mall...although cigerettes are bad for me but with the savings from the $10, I have enough left over to go see a doctor.

Woman: Yah lor, yah lor! Good hor, lucklily got budget terminal

At that moment Toby pulls up and arrives in his grandad's Merc

Man: Wah Lao eh! look at that! wah got money to drive merc but no money to fly SQ hor...

Woman: Aiyoh Yah lor..So rich still come to budget terminal...So buay pai seh

Man: Yah yah...stupid rich people..dont they know budget terninal is only for people like us?

Anyways... So it was nice to be sent off...

My new home

It was a pleasent flight except that the stewardess had a constant frown on her face. The upon leaving the immigration, Stanley was there with a sign to pick me up (wah so glam..first time leh) and we were off to my new place...Ciputra International City

Yes It was very much a city by itself....It was HUGE! and I lived in their apartments, it's a condo and I live next to the clubhouse...So i had a room to myself and yeah Stanley is also my housemate... It was utterly impressive..I was initially hoping to be staying in a 5 storey shophouse (the type the vietnamese live in) where I can go to the roof and look at the cityscape in the morning and evenings...But well a fully furnished condo with an attached toilet will do too....Oh and theres a good kitchen too!!
