Airplane Shut Down!

We encountered some problems in our flight from KL to Singapore. Just as the pilot announced that we'll be taking off, the power just died in the plane! As there was thunder and lightning at the time, we think that the plane may have been hit by lightning. Not something you want to happen everyday(!), but fortunately we were only taxiing onto the runway.

By the time we got going (6 hours later), we'd missed our connecting flight in Singapore. So with all flights booked, we ended up staying in Singapore for a day - accomodation obviously courtesy of SIA.


With the delay we got to spend the day visiting with Mel's Uncle Jon & the family.






Thanks for the nice lunch, Uncle Jon, Aunty Gin & Melissa (.....you know also you have more than a fantastic host when you get to drink New Zealand wine in Singapore!)
