Yes, you have read it right. I am still, as I write this, in UAE soil. What happened, you may ask? Why didn't I write a blog post for last Monday? And why am I writing this on a Friday instead of a Thursday? Tssk, tssk, tssk, my friend. We got offloaded again yesterday... for the third time. Well, I'm not exactly surprised. Firstly, it's the peak season. Second, we're on discounted tickets so we're the airlines least priority. Third, it's the peak season. Fourth, there is only one flight from AUH to SIN per day. Fifth, it's the peak season. Sixth, the flight to Singapore uses a relatively small commercial plane. Seventh, and lastly, it's the peak season. At this point, it's still up for discussion whether we're trying again on Christmas Eve and Christmas day itself since those days might be less busier than now. If not, I guess we're spending the holidays here in the UAE. Also, I don't know yet when I am moving to Singapore since this happened. As I mentioned before on my previous post, getting offloaded is both disappointing and relieving. Disappointing for obvious reasons (I really miss Koi and Chicken Rice); and also relieving because I have more time to spend with my fam here in Abu Dhabi, as well as Arima :) One thing is for sure though, I am sick and tired of having McDonald's for dinner almost everyday for the past week of going back and forth from the airport. We don't have food in the fridge since we can't leave anything that can rot during the time that we'll be gone, and a diet based on packaged bread just won't cut it for me anymore. McDonald's is the nearest food chain to our house (since we live in the desert) and so that's what we've been eating for the past few days. I want real food so bad. I miss cooking and eating what I cook T_T A special shoutout to my uncle who drove us to and from the airport during two of those times we got offloaded, and also for buying us lunch the next day.
