the New Changi Terminal 3, looks pretty good!

We took Singapore Airlines there. I must say that the standard of service for Singapore Airlines has dropped. On our way to Melbourne, our row wasn't served food at all until after an hour later. Guess we weren't sure as they were pushing the trolley up and down for several times but the air stewardress should have noticed us much earlier! Although she apologised profusely it still makes me wonder what sort of training they have nowadays for the new airstewardress. I suppose I should check with Stephanie? haha...

Couldn't really sleep throughout the flight..

almost there! Beautiful skyline...

Finally arrived in the airport and it took us 1 hour to get through the Australian Customs. They are so strict about food products brought into Australia, which makes the wait so long!

Street in Chinatown. The Chinatown in Melbourne is larger than the one we have in Manchester, probably same size as the one in London or larger I think.

Did some shopping around city centre after lunch

Flying back to KL tomorrow and Sat will be a trip to Bangkok with my family! I hope things won't be too bad in Bangkok because of the protest against the Thai PM. Wish me luck!

Next up: Winery in Yarra Valley!
