Wow! So I was nervous about flying and it seems I had good reason. About 10 minutes after take off we hit turbulence, at first I freaked out but turned my ipod up loud and tried to loose myself in the music. This worked well until we hit an air pocket and I lost my stomach it felt like the plane dropped a 100 meters and everyone let out a scream. I was so frightened that I grabbed the ladies hand next to me and said some un savoury words. From that moment on I was constantly fearful that it would happen again, but so far, so good.

The inflight entertainment is incredible, music, movies, tv series, games, language courses, e books and more. I settled for something that reminded me of home and started to watch "Jumanji". This movie transported me back to my childhood. I absolutely love Robin Williams and I laughed so hard that I finally started to relax. I was so relaxed in fact that I decided one drink wouldn't harm anyone so i ordered a Singapore Sling.

I just love this photo. The caption should read. For your safety do not feed Samantha a cocktail while flying.

Dinner was yum!

It's 4.41pm NZ time and Mum will just be getting home from work. I can't help but feel a pang of guilt when I think about her arriving home to an empty house. For the last couple of months I have always been there and we have chatted about our day. Gonna miss that! Bet Mum will too but at least we will have skype, can't wait until we both get web cams.

Had a read through the in flight magazine and the feature article was written about dogs. Well I couldn't handle that could I, I feel sick everytime I think about my dog Louie, oh how I miss that little sucker. Time for some tv episodes to keep my mind from what I have left behind.

Rest of the flight was good and calm, watched the pilot episodes of Revenge and Once upon a time. Loved them both so much, will have to download them soon. Managed to get a couple of hours sleep and arrived safely in Singapore at 6.30am local time.
