I'm back from Singapore & Vietnam with an extra 3kg in body weight, lighter hair (I had my roots touched up and new highlights done for less than $8 AUD in Vietnam), 5GB of photos to edit and a wardrobe full of new dresses and shoes. Yay!

Singapore Airlines A380 at Sydney International Airport

28 days ago, I boarded Singapore Airline's much talked about A380. I was quickly impressed with the mirror on the fold-out table, the range of new movies & games and the comfort, not to mention silence of the plane. It was smooth travelling.

breakfast, plane food on Sydney to Singapore flight

For breakfast, I had wanted the parsley egg omlette with chicken sausage, tomato & hash brown... but it unfortunately ran out early, so I settled with the fruit, yoghurt, braised egg noodle with beef and mushrooms, leafy greens and a bread roll.

lunch, plane food on Sydney to Singapore flight

Lunch begun with a smoked salmon salad appetiser... for main course, I had the stir-fried chicken with spring onion and ginger, seasonal vegies and rice. There was even chocolate ice-cream for dessert!

Lastly, this is where I stayed during the 4 days and 3 nights in Singapore:
