Airplane Blog.
Thank you Janice for inspiring me to write my own miniblog. I’m here, travelling on Air Canada flight 007 (lol) to Hong Kong. So here I am, blogging away on my laptop, in a seat quite close to Business Class.
It’s been 44 minutes since take off, and I’m basically watching a movie on TV now – 赤壁 directed by none other than John Woo!!!
This is my first time travelling by myself on a plane, and I’m kinda relieved that I didn’t encounter too much complications getting to my flight. I’m sitting in a 3 seats-per row., with two people, with an empty (yes!!) seat in the middle.
I might blog again sooner or later, but for now, I’m going to watch some movies!

Video keeps looping over and over again, and now it’s stopped completely. –;

Vancouver Standard Time 20:42
Movies watched: 赤壁, Astro Boy
Now listening to: Sonata in B Minor, S. 178 III
How…timely – it is exactly 7 hours since I have written my earlier blog today. The cabin people have managed to fix up some technical difficulties several hours ago pertaining to the AVOD system (about damn time), so woohoo, I can now return to watching videos without being disrupted by crazy loopbacks and lags. 4
First of all, I love the ambient lighting within the plane – a huge improvement with respect to my previous experience with Air Canada – which was a very outdated plane with no AVOD and beautiful ambient lighting.
I’ve read through more of Baghdad Burning, to satisfy myself with more Bush bashing awesomeness.
I never really have luck to sleep for more than 30 minutes on a plane, and when I do, I wake up with horrible cramps in my arms and legs — thank goodness for the unoccupied middle seat, I can occupy up to 50% more of the space – just like in business class – woohoo! I’m currently sitting cross-legged, rather comfortably.
A few hours earlier today(night? It’s 20:48 Vancouver time and the sky outside is as bright as ever), I managed to take some really sweet photos of the frozen land 10 or so km beneath us. It was a beautifully clear day when our plane flew over the barren wasteland of ice, but it was so beautiful.
