23 Sep wake up and about to check out, receive a sms from jet star, telling me due to bad weather that my flight will be delay and ask me to call a number for more details. KNN, I call the number and a few options for me to choose, but all end up check the web site. Decide not to waste my money on roaming IDD call. I was very worry that at that time and don't know what to do. So when I check out I ask the counter girl to help me to call the Macau internal airport for my flight time. This girl from 茄里万豪 told me the flight has delay to 10pm. so I was telling myself what to do. So decide to go to 迎宾广场 to have my lunch and kill my time. I went to the third floor where there is a western café. They have wireless internet access but he speed is slow, so the waitress told me to move to the seat inside which have LAN cable. This one is fast man. So I visit change airport website to check for flight detail. The real time flight info shows that the 3k575 to Macau is cancel. So I was thinking which flight will take me back to sg at 10pm tonight??? As I was thinking my phone rang, it was a call from jet star, telling me my flight have change to 3k576D and is flying tomorrow at 10.25am.

Haha bro you also damn sway like me kena Typhoon No. 8. Now my record is twice in a row. Once last month and one this month.
Tony Stark aka the Typhoon Master.
I was totally caught unaware during my first Typhoon experience in Macau on 20th Aug. I was unable to go to HK as ferry service was suspended for a day. Stranded in Macau like a fool.
This time round with past experience I was able to get to HK before Typhoon Signal No. 8 is hoisted. On 22nd Sep weather forecast announced Signal No. 8 will hit HK around evening of 23rd Sep. With this info. I chill out in ZH for a night on 22nd Sep first. Even went to Xiang Zhou area BBS for a morning bonk on 23rd Sep. After that cross the border to Macau and catch a 2pm ferry to HK. True and behold Signal No. 8 was hoisted at 6pm. Haha sibei heng.
In HK/Macau/China I always listen/watch the news frequently. In Singapore I don't have this habit because we take most things for granted back at home.
