Mummy bot me to the SIngapore Air Show this morning. She purchased the tickets online @ $20 per adt & $8 per child. It includes a return shuttle bus transfer to & fro Pasir Ris MRT station.
Well...things were nt smooth going at all. We left the house at 10am, took bus no. 969 to Tampines Bus Interchange. Take mrt - 1 stop to Pasir Ris station. Whe we arrives at Pasir Ris, whoa...the crowd of people there; people mountain people sea (人山人海）. Mummy saw the sign showing the direction to the shuttle bus sevice but..... wa piang, its a long way to the end of the q cos apparently, the q zig zag all the way to the other side of the station ( pasir ris mrt station has 2 exits) and cross over to white sands shopping mall. So wat did Mummy do leh? Do as wat most people did lor - cut q! muhahhah! everyone's doing the same thing; monkey see monkey do! keke...
Finally, finally after quite some time, mummy & me managed to board the shuttle bus. Gosh! It was very packed but we managed to get a seat as we were one of those few who boarded the bus early. Suppose to be a breeze of 20mins to get to our destinantion - CEC - Changi Exhibtion Center but the moment we come to Changi Village, the traffic congestion was = to Bangkok well known & ever famous traffic jam. Oh dear! Mummy looked at her watch. It was already 11.45am. How to get to the grounds in time to watch the airplane flight display? After a snails' pace, we finally arrives at CEC.
What! Another q to get inside the grounds?!?! Wat nonsense is this? Mummy getting a bit fed up. And look at the crowd. Goodness! Is there any planning at all from the organizers? " Look over there! See the planes!" Someone was shouting. We looked up. The flight display hv already started. Everyone stopped & looked up; some getting out their cameras, some gettin ready their cam corders, some, well...recording the flight display with their handphones.
After staring up at the glaring sky following the stunts & directions made by the plane, Mummy say its time we should get inside to look at the exhibits on display. Mummy told me there will be
airplanes, helicopters, army vehicles, etc. Yes! I love helicoptors!
Zig zag, zig zag! All the way into the entrance where they did the scanning. Just like passengers' departure at the custom check point where they scan ur hand carries & then u walkd thru a metal detector & if it "beeps" the security officers will scan u personally. They NEVER even checked whtr u hold any admission tickets. So if those people never purchase any admission tickets....unfair right?
Under the dreaded hot sun, both me & Mummy were sweating like no 2moro. I refused to take any fotos so Mummy took pics of some military defence vehicles. Buay Tahan Liao! We went inside of the building for some air con. Wow....heaven! So cool! We squeeze in & out of the crowds, taking tis freebie that freebie. ( Those of u reading tis, pls dun say we cheap skate ar! dun tell us u all nvr do the same at any other fairs or exhibitions)
Its 2pm. Mummy say we better head home as we dun wanna crash with the crowd again. Or so she taught! Think again. The way out is only 1 way. How we came in will be hw we gonna get out again. Stupid organising. Or should Mummy say poor organising! Hw can u ask us to get out the same way we came in? Push against one another? Alot of people were complaining & yelling. *%#@. Crap manz!
Cheong ar! The organisers or security officers opened up the back gates & we rush over in a hurry to get thru B4 they tink we are "dangerous" & decide to close the gates. Why dangerous leh? Cos u should see hw we "fight" & "push" to get pass each other? Muahahhahah! Dun take it so serious hor.... Nobody was hurt!
Now, comes to the part of boarding the shuttle bus back to Pasir Ris station. Where on earth is the q again? Seems like no q leh, everyone js crowd ard the side of the road. Once a shuttle bus arrive, the crowd js squeeze their way the bus again. ( Those poor unfortunate souls behind waiting for their turn to board the bus - did they manage to? ) Mummy cannot wait & see. Again, she did js like wat everybody did; squeeze her way thru & dash up the bus with me in tow.
Alamak! This has to be one of the worst horrifying experience in coming to an air show. Aiyo..its nt as if Singapore is the 1st time hosting it. They (the organisers) should be more experience liao ma & should forsee all tis problems b4 hand ma. Jialat! The only consolation was the flight display we saw.
