There we were, waiting at Gate 1 to board our flight from Melbourne to Sydney when suddenly an announcement came up over the PA system that our flight failed some engineering tests and had to be cancelled.

What followed was a maelstrom of activity as we scrambled to change flight bookings, hastily arrange for accomodations, and try to make sure everything was in order.

Well, I’m in Sydney now and I’ll be leaving for the hotel I booked last night soon. Hopefully nothing goes wrong from here…

I love pork ribs, and I normally have no problems polishing off a plate of them. Unfortunately, today on Oz Day 2009, I met my match.

Unc Nick brought FIL, Esh, 7th Aunt and myself to a club in Sydney. I ordered a rack of ribs, but what came was a rack of ribs from some mutant pig!. The ribs were stacked on top of a pile of potato wedges!

I finished off most of the ribs, save one. Quite a large pile of potato wedges was left behind though…

Plane flew off late from SG and as a result we landed late in Brisbane, where we had to catch a connecting flight to Sydney.

We made a mad rush to the domestic terminal from the international terminal (the half hour wait for the terminal shuttle train didn’t help much) and we were able to catch our flight.

Unfortunately, as we found out later, our luggage did not catch the same flight as us and had to be sent to Esh’s auntie’s place about 7 hours later. Late, but not late enough to claim insurance…
