ARGH!!! smting's wrong with the computer and i just lost an entire post...why oh why oh why did i not copy the thing first before clicking on 'publish'!!? =(
ok..attempt to recap...
"Lay-lees and gen-dle-men, welcome to sing-Ga-pour..and to all sing-Ga-poreans,
a warm welcome home"
ahhh singlish never sounded so good..haha i am finally FINALLY home...after all that mess..packing and rushing around like a mad woman...bleahz
"can the loser who missed her flight please put up her hand?"
*timidly raises right arm*
yes...i'm an idiot...i was late - VERY late for my afternn flight...flight's scheduled departure time was 4pm...i got there at 3.40pm...the entire SQ check-in rows were blanketed in darkness..and only 2 ladies remained behind the (closed) service counter....needless to say, i missed my SQ228...
had to get myself on the next flight
i thought it'd be a breeze...seeing that it's august and not exactly peak period...but i didn't count on some mainland chinese tourgroup and business group on crashing the party...SQ218 was OVERBOOKED....they put me on waitlist...
i went back to my apartment......
but of course, being me, i wasn't just gona sit there and wait for a miracle call...i went back to the airport at 8+pm and got myself on standby...(many many thankz to peishan who drove me to and fro, to and fro)
many many hours of worrying, time-wasting, book-reading and fries-eating resulted in a happy ending...*phew* the counter-guy who helped me managed to bump me on the flight on the very last minute...this bitchy lady was telling him "the flight's full, it's not possible"..but he did some magic and shifted the passengers around and WALA, i got a seat...(made all the more satisfying when he smugly told the bitch off with a "nothing's impossible")
maybe bigben's tips on smiling and flirting with the counter-guy worked after all..haha i thought all was lost at the beginning..coz he kept staring at his computer and i couldn't do much seducing..haha
anywayz..flight was good...first time i slept so much inflight...and it's DEEP sleep too...the stewardess had to shake me to wake me up for breakfast haha
a surprise awaited me at the airport...i mistook grace for my sis when she pounced on me from behind....haha thank you my dears grace, deb and ian for taking the time and trouble to drive all the way to changi to welcome me back...i may not have showed it..but i was very surprised...very pleasantly so =) (fatigue renders me unable to transmit emotions to outward appearance)
ahhh it's good to be back...... =)
