hi everyone!! i’m a couple of days late, but merry christmas! how did all of you spend your christmas? was it white? did you eat a lot? did you exchange presents? did you kiss under a mistletoe? (do people still do that, or does it only happen in harry potter movies??)
i flew back home to singapore!! actually, i had so much work to be done, i thought of toughing it out and staying back in new york over the holidays to do my work.
but seriously, who would i be kidding?? there was no way i would have gotten anything done; i’d probably hibernate the entire month away and still end up with nothing at the end of it, so i thought i should go home. besides, i was just so so so so so sick of parsons, which meant that i was equally sick of new york, and i HAD to get away.
i had to get away from new york like it was the plague.
even if i wanted to stay behind, i would have no friends to play with because everyone escaped just as quickly. we went out and had fun on the last day of class, and most of them flew off the following day!
hence there was basically no way in HELL that i would spend christmas and the new year alone in new york. i think if that had happened, i would have hated it even more and probably set myself on fire.
so here i am in singapore! ta-da!
it was some kind of crazy everest task trying to get a ticket to come back too! everything was booked out for months and my option was to fly on christmas itself. wow. then my mom decided to be generous and transfered some mileage points to me, so i could exchange it for business class!
wooooohooo!! i had a business class seat on singapore airlines, yo! it was so amazing! i felt like such a vip, until i saw the number of kids who were in business and first class! i’m talking about a 6 or 7 year old girl and boy, and another boy of about 12, etc! what!?!? no fair, no fair! kids shouldn’t be allowed extravagances like that until they are older!!
anyway, it was so good. i had a ton of leg-room and the seats could recline till completely horizontal. helloooo mama! but never mind all that, i will never be able to stomach the food from economy class again after what i ate in business class! it was ridiculous.
from the simple pleasures of not having to use plastic cutlery but proper silverware, to having nice dishes prepared and nicely laid out on the plate. the meals actually came in 2 or 3 courses, with the hostesses clearing the plate each time.
ok it sounds like such a cheap thrill, but HEY. it was quite yummy, ok!?
see? i wasn’t kidding you, was i? it looked and tasted pretty darn good. i was so impressed i even took pictures! the photos are grainy because they were taken in poor lighting with my bummy iphone (turned to airplane mode, don’t worry!). but i literally ate so much and cleaned off most of my food, i worried that i would have a stomachache at 40282194 feet off ground. ewww.
anyway so much has happened, i don’t even know where to really start! so i will be unloading post after post on you, so watch out! you’ll be shocked that i, gilda, still remembered how to blog! this holiday season is for me to take my mind of work, anyway, right? so here i am, back again!
and if you still aren’t following me on twitter, do that. i am a complete addict and much more reliable on twitter than i am on my blog. haha. you might even get sick of me on twitter because i tweet more than a robin does in heat.

I spent the Hols with my family doing nothing because we don’t do Christmas (we are weird like that, but it’s OK n_n).
That airplane food looks tasty and business class *_*! My best airplane meal so far has been British Airways Mexico – London. It was like 3 courses and delicious! I even took a picture and yes, I had a little bottle of white wine with it.
Merry Late Christmas Gilda!
Wow is that what Business class serves? It looks scrumptious!
Hope you’re taking care of yourself and that you get some sort of a break for the end of the year.

Haha about the kids in Business class. They are normally there because they are travelling without parents and aged under 16. As the Air stewards need to keep an eye on them its easier to have them sit all together and often the only seats close together are in business class so that’s how kids get that perk. It happened to me when I was 16 flying alone to Scotland, it was so fun!
