Bali To Singapore On Jetstar Asia

As I said in my previous post, "Our turn finally! Taking off at Runway 27, at 10:48AM..,"

Airborne! Banking right so we could cruise northwestwards to Singapore. That's Kuta Beach below..,

The things in the seatpocket in front of me. Medyo mga gasgas na rin but better than Tiger Air!

Shhh, syempre andyan pasaporte ko.., I always place it in front of me para sure di makakalimututan!

At 11:16AM, I checked the menu in my seat pocket, so I can order before I get hungry (it takes time).
Jetstar Asia Menu: Kang Kang Laksa
Look at the blue arrows.., gino-o ko, muntik ako humalakhak sa nabasa ko! Nyok Nyak, Jer-Jer, wala?

I ordered the Singapore Chicken Rice - bannered as their Signature New Dish..,

Maybe they finally heard, that it's the main staple on Air Asia (matagal na) and always sells briskly!

But impressive ha? This arrived exactly 8 minutes after I ordered it! Nahuli na nila agad yung manok!

I noticed they only bring you a plastic cup (no ice) together with the Coke. Meron naman, if you ask!

Oops sorry I forgot to take a picture after opening the aluminum foil container. Sinunggaban agad eh!

But I can assure you, masarap sya. Lasang ano.., lasang.., Singapore Chicken Rice.., Yes, ganun nga! In fairness nga pala, they place that hot aluminum foil container over a styrofoam tray for safety. Nice!

Maiba ako.., consistent sa Jetstar ko di maintindihan ang English na announcement ng stewardess!

Anyway, still gloomy, but the skies were a bit nicer this time. I liked looking at the clouds..,

After 2 hours, I saw earth! From the color of land, I knew we were already above the Riau Archipelago.

"Riau Islands" (there are so many of them) are still in Indonesia, but very near, just south of Singapore.

And I said "aha, Batam Island na"! Because I saw Pacific Palace Hotel - a building shaped like a ship..,

From this position that I took the photo, it meant we were landing into Changi's Runway 02 very soon.

Indeed it was.., because after 9 minutes, eto na, entering na kami towards our assigned gate!
So, I welcomed my self to Changi Airport again.., for another transit of about 8 hours. But no, I did not do the Free Singapore Tour this time! I stayed around roaming this airport (I'm writing this here, now)!

Let's end this with a short video on this Jetstar flight (take-off from Bali and landing into Singapore).

See you in my next story!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
