turns out that the flight was comparable to all the other flights i took on QF or BA..and the food wasn't as good as i thought it would be. the chicken i had was so tough that when i started "sawing" it with my flimsy plastic knife,i made the whole meal table and the seat in front start vibrating. and they served frozen-hard mango ice cream which tasted more like orange flavour. but,i do admit the service was much nicer,probably cos they speak in the same way as i do (i.e. Singlish) :> and it was very nice to hear the captain say,"to all singaporeans returning,welcome home."
the more interesting part of my flight is this uncle and auntie sitting behind me. they were talking so loudly,i think the whole cabin can hear them. and they were talking in hokkien. re-enactment of part of their conversation with the stewardess:
Stewardess: what would you like to drink? orange juice, coffee or tea?"
Uncle:ORLENG ORLENG! i want ORLENG!! (orleng=orange juice in broken english)
Uncle asking auntie: ai lim xi mi? (what do you want to drink?)orleng ah si kopi? (orange or coffee?)
Auntie: ORLENG ORLENG!ORLENG eh sai liao (orange juice is fine)
Uncle to stewardess:2 ORLENG can already.
the above conversation was carried out at a decibel which i presume even the passengers in the first class seats can hear. but it was pretty funny. and the stewardess was trying so hard not to laugh out loud. that's kinda like my additional entertainment on board.
and i got to watch three movies which i really wanted to watch but can't bear to spend the money to go:the terminal, around the world in 80 days and dodgeball. enjoyed myself very much on the flight.
so,my experience on an SQ flight was pretty good. but i would say that it was any much more different than QF or BA.maybe it's just me lah.i dun have high standards for services while i am flying thousands of feet above sea level. get me to my destination safely, serve me food, provide me with movies and i am pretty much a satisfied customer.
