And so I am home..

5 extremely overweight check-in bags,
6 smaller carry-ons ( including my MOGU doll ),
3 International Aiports,
19 hour of Flight time and
7 hours of waiting time,
I am home.. I arrived 2 minutes pact midnight and was greeted by the famous Changi International Airport and a rush of warm air. Its midnight and its 29 degrees.

Changi International Airport - Singapore


So... what's travel without a good / bad flight story.
Both my flights were packed.... so... everyone was confined to their allocated 33 inches....I got a window seat and my poor sister sat in the middle, between myself and a Japanese lady ( probably in her late 40s or early 50s ) on the aisle seat. We dont want to be trouble, so we sat in our allocated seat with our carry-ons tucked away in the overhead compartments... we decided to only get up and move ( or stretch / take a book from our bags ... ) when the ladies needs the washroom or when she does. In this way, we dont have to trouble her / disturb her while she was resting..

GUESS WHAT ? she never got up from her seat, she did not use the washroom .. nothing ! not a single inch... ( and imagine a VERY reckless me sitting down, wishing and praying that she will get up every so often ) . I felt soooo trapped ! ARGH !



A new start.. seeing how I have moved back to Singapore. A brand new start. I decided to use a different planner, start on a new one..

I feel so grown up. I arrived home to find bank statements, government letters, letters from different organizations ( they all read, please renew your membership at XYZ.... ) and credit cards ( that I never applied for ) on my table.. It screamed FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ! I unpacked my suitcase full of sweaters and t-shirts, knowing that i will soon be replacing them with work-clothes ! ARGH ! I talked to Mum and Dad, talked about my plans.

Jotted down a few dates into my new planner. A to-do-list and a few friends, and family friends, friend's mum to meet. 2 parties already and about 6 people I have to meet ASAP. I can't decide which cell-phone company I should use..... I can't get to sleep ! I am jet-lagged ! its 7am.. I'm not in bed still !

From nice cool weather to a warm humid tropical island... Just to give you an idea on how warm Singapore is....
I stepped out of my room ( 22 degrees ) to use the washroom to brush my teeth, I returned sticky and sweaty....

On the flip side, the heat is giving my complexion a nice, natural-looking healthy red glow on my cheeks ....

I am going to go to the bank.. blog update soon.

I am home in Singapore. I love my country and I am glad to be back..
