"Flight status" by little Karyn



Whenever Daddy goes on business trips, Mummy will be obsessed with the SIA Flight Status web page.

On the day of departure, she will log on to the page and keep on clicking at the refresh button to see the actual time that the flight takes off and estimated time of arrival at the destination.

It is no exception this morning. She has been at the page since 6.50 a.m. even though Daddy's flight was scheduled to depart at 8.00 a.m.

It is only when she has seen the actual time being reflected will she leave the computer.

Sometimes, it takes very long for the timing to be reflected as there will certainly be a time lag between actual take-off time and the time the SIA personnel takes to upload the information. Like today, it wasn't only until 8.25 a.m. that the timing was shown - actual time of departure 7:59, estimated time of arrival 11:58.

So Mummy has been at the computer for 2 hours straight - from 6.30 till now...

She will be at it again this noon, around the estimated time of arrival - 11.58 a.m.
