A lot people has been talking about spending a night at the airport. Well as a traveler it won’t be appropriate if I never do so right? So last month when I was trying to catch a plane early morning, I went and stayed in Changi Airport a day earlier so that I won’t miss my flight. The journal below is my adventure in Changi Airport! :P

I took the almost last train service to Changi Airpot, departed from my university at about 10.20pm. Finally reached the airport about 80 minutes later. Do remember that my university  is located at the far west on Singapore island while the airport is at the far east… numb… numb…

Then I walked around for about 1.5 hours from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, terminal 2 to terminal 3 then from terminal 3 back to terminal 1. Just for the fun of it. My flight was scheduled at 7am. So I got whole bunch of times…

Their shuttle train service operating almost 24 hours other than 2.30am to 5am. So you can travel around the 3 terminals easily.

Being the best airport, I like Changi but there is one thing I really hate about.

Haha.. I brought my laptop with me and was thinking of doing some online surfing. But there is no power point! I asked around, there are few at the coffee shops but it was so limited and all was occupied.

In the end I gave up and chose McDonald’s. Where they provide internet usage that will log you out automatically every 15 minutes.

OOOooh… Many people catch red-eye !! :) (Red Eye = Last Flight of the day)

Quite a number of people waiting for their loved (or hatred) ones out from arrival hall. lol

To be honest, I have been to Changi Airport many times not because of taking flights but because of my working nature. I once worked as a event assistants and I need to pick up a whole group of visitors/students (mainly from China) to my university. Hahaha

I enjoyed the moment very much eh!! Haha… A bit like tour guide liao… Hahaha… Bringing them to bus, on the bus do some short introduction… On the way see HDB then explain HDB… lol … wakakakaka

So can you see my flight?

But then again, if possible, I won’t want to spend a night in airport ’cause it’s freezing… lol… But as a budget traveler I don’t have so much money to call for taxi pick-up early in the morning (with 35% surcharge) … Nah…
