check the countdown bar!! few more hours to go!!!

hahaha
so have i finished packing? so so lah...my luggage allowance is only 20kg on MAS, i most probably will not exceed lah. gosh, if i exceed, how am i going to shop in paris?? dump my clothes into hand carry (5kg) and my shopping stuff into the suitcase. hahaha

i am kinda tired because i did not sleep well yesterday. was i too excited? dun think so, maybe i was busy packing before i slept and had no rest before trying to sleep. well, maybe i will get some sound sleep tonight, albeit only a few hours long since i will have to wake up at 5a.m.
yup, i should be heading to the airport before 6.30a.m. to catch my 10.05 a.m. flight. i have already checked-in online, so i can arrive later.

talking about online check-in, is it a better alternative than going slightly earlier to the airport to check-in? the seats given to me are not good. initially i got row 52 (!!!) but i managed to change to 32. then i checked in for my other travelmates, and they both got row 52, there were no other available seats for them in front anymore. do you think so many people have actually checked-in or do they block the seats for those who will be checking-in at the airport?

i remember last year when i flew to shanghai. my colleague and her husband were on the same flight too. i checked in at the airport, and they did online check-in. my seat was row 16, theirs was row 30. or maybe because i was travelling alone and they were together?

well, too late now, i have already checked in and printed the boarding passes. so i hope the flight is not full and there will be extra seats.

so this morning i started with yummy breakfast from carmen. love it.
dried wantan noodles. i don't mind having the same thing for dinner too. i think my aunt in germany will be salivating seeing the photo. her favourite ;P dun worry, you will be coming back soon. i don't think noodles will be in my diet for 2 weeks, well not if you count spaghetti. i wonder what kind of food i will be trying. hope they will be good whatever the price. haiz...dun convert.

my snack bag for the trip?? again, this is from carmen who hates packing. wow! i am touched. i still remember when we went to yogyakarta, her dad had to do her packing and her dad did the snack packing too. so i guess she had learnt something from her dad huh. thank you so much. although i dun take nesvita, i am sure someone at home will take it. she even included plasters and a tiny bottle of siang pure oil so i don't have to bring the big bottle. how convenient. i will definitely not go hungry on the plane and the second day.

well, tomorrow night should find me at ibis hotel, heathrow. i am not sure whether we will be going to london yet. arriving at a 4p.m. will do rain check, literally. the weather is still kinda cold there and wet. maximum 20c, minimum 11c. brrrrrr.....

on sunday it is off to paris via air france from heathrow in the morning. estimated arrival time in paris is 10a.m. i guess it will be noon by the time i reach central paris. hope to find the weather there sunnier. well, if you check the weather forecast, it is. acoomodation will be hotel faubourg, near gare du nord. i am not asking for much, i only need clean and quiet place to rest.

ok, got to go now. time to take out the check list and start ticking what i have put into my bag. hope to log in and update when i am in europe. ...if i am not too tired by the end of the day. have a good holiday everyone!
