Earth Hour & Acting as a Mini Air Traffic Controller in Changi Airport !!

Maybank yellow colour logo been switch off, and also the One Fullerton Hotel too !!

Meet Raj at CP ard 7.30pm and there took NEL train to Dhoby Ghaut and change to Red Line to City Hall. And reach the esplanade to see structure been swtich off like the maybank building, One Fullerton hotel and other various hotels and also the Singapore Flyer. The street outside Esplanade were also switch off ... Then Raj was like so sian already and so we move to the makansutra centre to find a place to settle down and i happen to meet Kang Liang and his family eating at the high class restaurant ... Tap his shoulder and off i go ... Both of us can't find a space to sit and so Raj suggested of moving to Changi Airport ... From city hall all the way to Tanah Merah station then swop to the centre train and go to Changi ... Went there and Raj bring me outside of T3, he bring out his transmitter and let me listen to the conversation between the pilot and the air control towel speaking ... Pilot: S237 request to increase altitude to 3000 ft ... ATC: S237 Increase of altitude approved !! ... Then we kept watching the plane fly off and listen to their conversation, from British Airway to SIA and alot more ... Then we heard the conversation of one SIA plane requesting to turn the 90 degress to the right before incline to 3000 ft. And so Raj asked me to look and so we saw one of the SIA plane before reaching 3000 ft, it just turn a 90 degress bearing to the right lo ... Steady la !! Nice lo ... Ok, then we move into T3 food court ... No seats and so we went to T1's Popeye's Fast Food. Raj helped me order while i chop the place ... Ate already and we went to the viewing hall to look at the planes again ... Switch on transmitter and listen to the conversation ... There was 2 sad case lo ... Both are from British Airway. Ok, firstly one of the plane was already boarded with passengers and are now ready to fly, but then we heard through the transmitter which the pilot says this "Control, (coordinates) we had a lost of hydraulic fuel in our plane, request for cancel of flight" ? The Control replied back saying to tell the passengers to leave the plane lo ... The passage way move into the door and passengers slowly move out of the cabin. So sad leh, they are ready to fly already and suddenly a hydraulic problem occured !! Then a few emergency car are dispatched from far away building to check out the problem with that British plane ... Personels are dispatched with tourch light to inspect the area ... The 2nd case also happen to British Airway too. The plane has been push back and is now heading for the runaway and we heard a funny conversation. Control : "(Coordinates) One of the plane of ur company has a hydraulic leakage" !! Then the pilot of another British Airway plane didn't replied anything ... When they are about to reach the runaway already, suddenly the pilot "Control, we had a sick passenger inside our cabin" ! The controller replied by saying " Check out for further problems with the sick pessenger, temp. delay the flight first" !! Wah, another sian case ... Gonna fly already then this happens ... Haiz ... It was a bad day for British Airway ... And as for the finale, we wanted to catch Air France to take off as it's the only plane with super big engine !! But then don't know why still haven't take off yet !! While we heard a conversation saying an Airbus 380 flying and so we turn to the left and catch the plane fly off !! And then we left the place to home !! And the time was ard 12am plus !! Was so tired until both of us fall asleep inside the bus no.s 27 ... Then reach home ard 1am plus !! And now just to post abt the British Airway incident !!

Oh, and 1 more thing ... Raj say he never heard before of last mins incident happening when he always come to the airport to listen to the conversation ... And he say only when i was there for sure there will be something happening to them !! Ah haha, truth indeed !! He also nvr seen before the emergency car rushing to the plane which got hydraulic problem !! Hehe !!
