Been really excited about this trip. Waited almost half a year for it to arrived. Got a really good deal for a flight to Gold Coast,Brisbane, on Emirates, for just $650.
The guys were the ones out in full force and on time waiting for the fastest runner in our group,Miss Jenny

The guys decided to settle for Lunch at the Food Court first while waiting for the lady to arrive.
We proceed to our gate for boarding. All of us manage to arrive on time. Jenny Was the latest.

Though We are considered to be pretty early for our flight. It still took us a while waiting for everyone to arrive. Last call @ our Gate.
An 8hrs Flight to Australia, Brisbane, Looking forward. A small commotion broke up here though, they keep delaying us in the Economical class from boarding while still paging for business class and First Class passenger which I only see a few. What Privileged these people get for paying 3 to 5 time our price.
Though I was not on an SQ Flight, use to think that SQ have the World Best Entertainment system - Krisworld. The competition have just caught up. Emirates have touch Screen Display and probably a larger screen, tons of Games and movies on it all Look HD to me
Even their Controller comes with an LCD Display

Though we are not on a A380 Flight, Modern fleet nowaday are usually on the B777 which is definitely more spacious the B747 ages ago. The Large LCD on every seat are the main highlight of the flights.
U get to see your flight journey in 3D animation and also how the outside of the plane look like. YES, even when the Plane is in Flight. As the flight time to Brisbane took us about close to 7hrs. I really got alot of time to watch movies. Browse through the catalogues of movies, Identify 4 to watched. Act of Valor, Paranonormal activity 3, Journey to the Center of the Earth 2.
Entitled to a Dinner and Breakfast before landing at our Destination. Dinner coming up!!!
There seem to be only one choice, Chicken with rice. Wasn't too used to the Culture of the middle East people. I am totally surrounded by them making me feel so out of place. I wasn't seating with them as I brought my ticket later. The Air Steward all seem to favour them more than us, Chinese. It is even more prominent than SQ's Local vs Caucasian

We took a Cab from the Airport, boy was it a very expensive one. Cost us over 240AUD. Lucky we have 5 People to split the cost. The Place we will be spending the next 7 days, Meriton Apartments.
The Apartment is huge. Cost us about 600 Per person for 7 days. Quite a Good deal. We have a Large Kitchen to ourself. But too bad, none of us are good cooks.
We are actually quite in time for TV on World Cup, and the size of the Living room helps allowing all the guys to settle in together to watch a match together.
There are 3 rooms, each with a King Size bed. As most of us are guys, only 1 lady. The Lady took the room to herself, while the 5 guys share the 2 rooms.
