Last Sat went to the Spore Airshow 2008. Vow never expect to be so crowded.
Make arrangement with our cousin to meet at Paisr Ris Interchange 10 am. When we were there we saw a long queue waiting for the shuttle bus to bring us there.
While waiting for Joey, we decide to queue first. Never did we know that the queue was super longgggg...... It went round the station and White Sands. We queue for nearly 45 mins before we went onboard the bus around 11.45. Then we took another 45 mins to the show place due to the jam when we get near.
We missed part of the showtime when it started at 12.15. So we then stay outside the entrance to watch the show till it ended at 1.45pm. Then the nightmare began. Those were outside now pushed their way to the show. Those inside the show area wanted to get their way out after watching the show.
It was so chaotic when we finally made our way into the exhibition hall which supposed to be after 2pm. Taking a short walk, hunger beat us. Only a couple of makan places - one restaurant which nearly killed us instantly when the soft drink cost $6.00. We decide to go for the megabites but a long queue again. Left with not much choice we took the beeline and bought some simple food - curry puffs, pies and 3 cans of drinks which already $15.00
After the quick bite, we carry on with the journey. We went outdoors and see the airbus A380, US air force fighters. Joey and Ajit went on one of the fighters to see the internals while Yuva and me stay on ground to see the rest. We also took a picture with 2 pilots (we suppose).
Then we went back to the hall to continue the tour. There were different models of planes, helicopters, rockets etc... At the outdoor show area there are tankers, cannons too. Quite a eye-opening experience.
Around 5.30 when the show ends, we took the same way out, queue for the shuttle bus back to Pasir Ris. The taxi queue was super long although the starting meter fare was already $8.00.
As the shuttle buses came non-stop, we were able to catch the bus within a short time. Back to Pasir Ris we went to treat our tummies at Sakae Sushi. So concidentally bumped into an ex-colleague, Paul Wong, just seated next to our table with his family.
After a good dinner, we have a little walk at the shopping mall. About 8.30 took the mrt to Kallang station and hop onto 985 while Joey carried on the journey to her home at CCK.
It had been a long and tiring day especially the waiting, pushing, squeezing. After a good and nice bath, I went to bed before 12 midnight.
