Changi to Christchurch

My sister-in-law and I took the 7.30am bus to KLIA. We reached KLIA at about 11.30am. We met our tour leader and she told us to take our lunch while she handled the checking in. 

We just had chicken Hor Fun..

at the Old Town White Coffee..

Then we were ready to be boarded at 1.30pm. Our flight to Singapore was at 2.30pm.
Ready to fly to Singapore.

In just an hour, we reached Singapore.
We were give 40 dollars each as our transit time was about 4 hours time.

So we used up 20 dollars for our dinner.
and the other 20 dollars were used up in one of the shops.

Our flight to Christchurch was at 7.45pm and we reached the airport at
about 9.30am the following day.
We picked up our baggage and were ready to hop into the coach
for our journey to Ashburton.

    Me too, I always had Oldtown Hor Fun before a flight. Maybe it is nice and makes our tummy comfortable with hot soup!

    They are smart and wise to give you this for long transits to make passengers happy! Over 10 years ago I was on transit there for more than 5 hours enroute to Beijing but that Changi dollars was unheard then.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
