A diverted direct flight, HKG-Dubai, on CX

Originally I was to take a CX flight to BKK and connected on Qatar Airways to go to Dubai via Doha.  Unfortunately CX flight got a serious delay (in fact, I noticed it was the pilot whom wanted the jet to parked to the main terminal) and therefore we couldn't connect the flight on Qatar Airways. Though CX has arranged a direct flight from HK to Dubai, we had to wait at the airport over 12 hours.  By then we should have arrived at Dubai on Qatar.  CX ground staff thought that it would be actually good for us to have a direct flight but I told them our purpose was to try A380 of Qatar Airways and the new Dubai international as DWC (Dubai World Central). 
Anyway, we got on board for this 7.5 hour flight from HK to Dubai but the meal and seat are not that good as compared to Qatar.  The amuse brioche was missed.  The main was in a tiny hot tray instead of putting it nicely on a plate.  See how the breakfast was (the last photo).  Just some pastry and a yoghurt.

Har wait at the airport for 12 hours?
You can come to LAX already with this timing.

So many years ago CX c class was very similar to that of Qatar. However, the glory fainted their head.

Easy to break out for a business but hard to keep it.

Yes Sea.
It is always easy to ruin things but hard to build up.
