This is gonna be a short post...

Didn't really have much time to update for the past few weeks cause of all the OCIP stuff. (Shall rant about the t-shirt printing when I get back...)

It's the start of the June holidays and boy am I gonna be busy. With so may projects and school work due on the first day of school, I don't think I can even get a proper rest this hols. 

June holiday plans:

Wk 1 - OCIP Nepal (yes Imma be climbing mountains jkjk just a little hiking with a 30kilo bag and cameras. All those lifting is gonna pay off haha. gonna spam photos when I get back)

Wk 2 - (After I get back alive...) Econs ILP

Wk 3 - PW WR stuff (damn I hate this subject but I love my group *huggggggs*)

Wk 4 - HARDCORE MUGGGGGGGINGGGGGGG for Blocks 

P.S. I seriously think that they don't intend to give us a proper break. Like there's so much to do, so little time. 

Now for a little bit bout life. 

Glad that Term 2 is finally over. It's been stressful and tiring but fun nonetheless it was fun. A lot of things happened in the last 10 weeks and I have to say that not everything was fun. I've had my share of failure (actually A LOT of failure) not only in academics but also in character. I guess life in JC is not what I had expected it to be. Having all these troublesome people and annoying situations really pushes me to my maximum point but it's through these times where I get to see who are my true friends who will stand by me no matter what. 

Taking off tomorrow and I REALLY EXCITEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!! 

Gonna take this time away from civilisation and the Internet to do a little bit of reflecting and clear my mind. Term 3 will be a new start and I'll come back stronger than ever.

[Shall leave the spamming for after I get back :))))))]

✈️ SG - ISTANBUL - ROME

We were at the airport at around 9+ (kiasu la. Flight at midnight reach so early) so we waited for a while and met with our tour leader, Karlina. (While waiting we found our luggage to be overweight haha. First time seh. So repack lor. Lucky changi airport got weighing machine. Extra weight damn expensive seh. Fly from SG to Rome extra 1kg = 20euro seh) 

So we were at T1 and entered gate D40 to board the plane. Flight was suppose to be at 0030 but there was a delay because the plane came late. So we ended up boarding at around 0130. 

So the flight was around 12hours to Istanbul

 We went to Istanbul for a 2 hour transit ( which is not much time actually. Had to go through customs and queue to go into the gate again) 

Finally after another 2h flight, we arrived in Rome. 

Turkish Airlines

Food:

The food on the plane was quite good for me. 

The food was generally scrambled eggs, ham, bacon. There was noodles and fish for lunch and dinner. 

Have to say that it's quite ok. But i still prefer SQ meals

Seating:

For the 12 hour flight, it was quite squeeze. There was not much leg room and luckily for me I was seating in thr center area. The air conditioning on the plane was quite weird. It was really warm and suddenly it gets cold and then next thing i know, i was sweating. 

For the transit flight, the area is much bigger and it was more comfortable. It was also much cooler but still warm. 

In-flight Entertainment:

For the long haul flight, the entertainment was fine. (I managed to watch 3 movies and slept through pretty much the rest of the flight.) There was also so albums. However, they were pretty outdated. ( the only chinese album they had was Jay Chou's Capricon. Like seriously that's old)

As for the transit flight, there were lesser options but i did manage to find a movie to watch during the 2 hour flight. 

Service:

I have to say, I'm not really find of their service. It was more of a self-service thing and I really couldn't understand what they were saying. Also, some of the crew were quite unfriendly but majority were fine. (As compared to SQ and Cathay, it's still far far away)

As a whole, the flying was quite bearable for me this time round. So that's about all  for day 1. For more, check out the post for the rest of the days.
