In my way back from Shanghai to Jakarta, after a full month working in GE Vetco Gray Shanghai for PTTEP Thailand. I had to fly from Shanghai - Beijing - Singapore and finally to Jakarta, don't imagine that we can enjoy such a stupid arranged travelling. I must fly first to Beijing cos' no flight from Shanghai to Singapore due to peak season on Shanghai Expo.
At the same day, there was a terrible storm in Beijing causing many flights delay, I just knew when I was about to check in. The guy in check-in counter told me that the flight will be delayed for 1 hour, in fact, after entering boarding gate the delay changed to 2 hours. I was so panic because my arrival time and my check in time in Beijing was only 2 hours. Anyway, I thought I was lucky because many flights at the time were even cancelled.
So, with all doubtfull heart I attempted to find another way. I tried to approach an airline officer at boardng desk, telling him about my schedule and how I badly need to be on time, otherwise I may miss my next flights.
He said please wait for 16 minutes, we'll try our best. Wait lah...
After 16 minutes, he said just the same...please wait 5 minutes, so
