Decided to slack a while more in bed, and I somehow fell asleep again despite my excitedness, so it was lucky my iPhone did duly ring at 5.20 am as planned. Well, the reason I said that is because we all know those infamous incidents where the iPhone alarm did not work as it should.
Talking about iPhone, I love my iPhone despite its little imperfections because on occasions like this, this little device just shows how tuned-in it is to the common needs of people. What occasion? For example, when we need to get a taxi to the airport in 5 mins time at wee hours of 6 am like today. iPhone makes this task seem so easy - just call up the Taxi Booking cab from ComfortDelgro, press the "Book" button and in less than 3 minutes, I received a SMS to inform me that a Toyota Crown taxi 1257 would be at my lift lobby waiting for me.
I guess we are really fortunate to be staying in Singapore, everything was so hassle-free, we managed to reach the airport via ECP in about 20 mins at a cost of $20 which included the $2.50 taxi booking fee.
I love my iPhone too because it allows me to blog on the fly like this. And I do mean literally "on the fly" - because I am now typing this post at an altitude of 9753 metres above ground onboard a cruising SIA 860 jet. Two hours away from my destination, this is a good way to spend this otherwise much wasted time. :)
And I relish recording the sights and sounds I can take in through the corner of my eyes even as I tap on the onscreen keyboard of my iPhone. A baby fussing, a cute little girl toddler chatting away, the footsteps of the crew as they push the trolleys storing the inflight meals across the plane, the flipping of the newspapers two rows away and most of all, the droning sound of the plane engines as the pilot navigates us towards our destination.
