Watching Sunset from a plane

The sun was setting towards six o'clock when our plane was flying over the South China Sea towards Hong Kong. It took less than an hour to land. The sky was in deep blue, but the orange sunlight began to fade and the skyline was clearly in curvature. The clouds below did not look white any more. Instead they appeared dark brown.

It seemed very quiet outside, but actually there were a lot of activities below the clouds. Ships of all kinds – warships, cruisers, cargo ships, fishing boats and yachts were sailing on the South China Sea. Birds were flying. If they were clever enough, they could land on the desks of ships for free rides, but the problem was that the birds did not know where the ships went. Fishes, big or small, sea turtles, octopuses, jelly-fish were swimming or floating in the sea water to find for food as their meals.

Inside the plane, the passengers had had their meals either in Chinese style or the Western Style. The best items of our meals were the delicious desserts - the bricks of chocolate ice-cream from Haagen–Dazs. Next time, when we fly Singapore Airlines, we expect to eat another flavour of such good ice-cream.
