spent the entire afternoon today at the airport, from 1.30pm to 5pm. could have spent the entire day and night there too if i wanted. loved the tranquility, the peacefulness, the ambience and everthing there. being there is so much more soothing than being in town, which i am getting kinda sick of, after being there almost every single day since exams ended last mon. used to go to the airport every sun morning when i was still in sec sch to watch the planes take off and land. the viewing malls then were much bigger and with better views of the runways. that at T1 still remains pretty much the same although it is now partly obstructed by the newly added observers lounge in the transit area. however that at T2 is totally different. not only is it shorter now, there is a whole new extension of the transit lounge below, which caused the viewing mall itself to be further away from the runway. views of the planes taking off and landing is totally blocked, not obstructed in the newly renovated T2. what can be seen now is just the planes parked at their berths. and the only planes that can be seen are those of SIA. from the new postition of the viewing mall, the boeing 747 looked so much smaller than they used to seem to be. anyway, T2 is now no longer a good place to view the planes so i stayed at T1 most of the time. sat at the viewing mall at T1, watching the planes land for 1.5 hours. a very simple way to pass time and to feel happy and relaxed. just loved the feeling, the thought of how nice it would be if i could be the one taking off and landing those wonderful machines. dont know if my wish of being a pilot can come true. the pilots are so cool. wearing their uniform and their tie and cap and their pilot security cum identity passes, they are just so awesome looking, so much so that they seem to have an aura around them. i simply just loved the planes and flying them. think they are the best invention in the whole world. something so huge and heavy and yet able to travel so fast and to fly in the air.
anyway, the airport is now decorated for the christmas season too, needless to say. the christmas tress there are very beautiful too. some are planted into the soil itself. cool isnt it? haha.. gosh.. how i wish i can be at the airport every single day. its such a wonderful, beautiful, tranquil and nerve-soothing place to be in. i can do that now since its holidays but once sch starts again, i cant do so anymore. after i grad, i am going to look for a job in the airport. a career with either SIA or CAAS. that will be the best job for me. then i can be at the airport everyday. best still, if my dream of being a pilot can be fulfilled, i can be at the airport regularly, travel around the world and of course, fly those wonderful planes. being at the airport really takes away all my stress. other than being in town among the crowd at night, looking up at the stars and enjoying the night, being at the airport, seeing the planes, is the other way that i can forget my stress and problems. while the former is related to having a crowd, the latter on the other hand is achieved by spending time in solitude. and looking at the beautifully decorated transit area, how i wish i can be in there at that moment in time, waiting to travel on a plane to another place for holiday. singpaore changi airport really lives up to its name of being one of the best airports in the world. the lightings, the deco, the surroundings and ambience is just so comforting and soothing. been quite some time since i last entered into changi airport's transit area. wanted to do so this dec but in the end, unable to because of a few reasons. really hope i can do so in the june holi next year. have so many places that i wanted to visit. top of the list, New Zealand. but that will be rather expensive. hope i can afford it by june and of course, tat i have friends to go there with and that they can afford it also. really really wanted to enter and shop in the transit area and of course take photos there. u may think that i am lame and have nothing better to do to actually take photos in and of the transit lounge. but well, i dont care because i think i have found a new hobby. PHOTOGRAHY! haha. will talk bout this possibly new found hobby next time. hee.. well. no choice. have to make do and endure this holi that i am unable to travel by plane again. but i will be back to the airport again soon, this time with my camera, to take photos of the xmas tress there. they are really beautiful. and guess what! i have the staff canteen in T2. haha.. the food there looks really good. found the stall Rex Satay i think, that is featured in the show "hawker food lost and found" (something like that. not too sure of title) hosted by gurmit singh and michelle chia. it really looks good, like what is shown on tv. haha. the next time i go to the airport, i am going to give that a try. changi airport is really such a nice place to be at. though i like shopping in town, i tink being here at the airport sure beats being in town. i am getting sick of town but i can be at the airport everyday and i wont feel sick of it. changi airport rocks. I love Changi Airport.
