Arrived at London at 5 am in the morning. I was welcomed by
the cooling wind that never existed in Singapore. The air is indeed different;
it reeks of uncertainty that is accompanied by the thrill of exploration.
On flight BA0012, I was seated in between an Asian guy and a
really pretty American girl whom I failed to remember her name, as usual. The
whole flight seemed pretty short as I slept through most of it, besides waking
up for food! =) Why waste food when I paid for it yea? (a really convenient excuse
to consume food and not feel guilty, problem is…. It always works!) Amazingly,
I slept through a crying baby (ewww to the max) and the constant nudging from
both passengers beside me. Bravo to myself.
Currently, I am dining at Wetherspoon (a café in London
airport). Ordered an Iced Americano and the lady gave me a weird stare. She
said ‘ I give u Americano but I put ice in it ya?’ I nearly let out a burst of
laughter, isn’t that what the name suggest? Soon reality hit me, I am no longer
in an Asian country where it’s really common for consumers to order iced
Americano. Anyways, I am happily sipping away my 8 kcal while typing away; I
think I have burnt most of the calories already! =)
Unfortunately, I have to take a later flight back to Dublin
as my luggage could not be checked in on time for the connecting flight. Hence,
I have the time to pen down my thoughts =) in the next 3 hours, I will be in
Dublin. I should be excited, but I’m not. I wonder why…
Looking around, I am starting to appreciate all the staff in
the airport as they make every flight and connection as smooth sailing as
possible. Just this morning, I received so much help from the airport staffs as
AL changed their policy in the issuing of the boarding pass (which is really
confusing to be honest). Once again kamsahamnida to everyone that made my
flight less ‘scary’.
Finally, I am in my 5th year. Time flies, it
really does. Fortunately, friends do not move on like time, besties stay with
you for life (or that is what I hope!). Thanks for sending me off at the
airport guys, it must be really tiring for you guys to be sending me off every
time I am leaving Singapore. Really appreciate it guys! Some make an effort to
come regardless of their busy schedule, ji gan dong y ixia xia di gua! =) thanks
chin for the super do not ‘feet’ me note book and thanks YU for such a great
summer traveling to kimchi land which would not be possible without you!
Alright, time to head to the boarding gate. All the best
guys, for those who are doing business, HUAT AH! For those who are studying….
Jia you! Hope u can find the right path soon piggy =) TTFN and see you guys in
about 2 months time?! Now im excited!
ps: this is a delayed post! heading off to waterford for sub internship... no wireless which means no d3! =( life sucks but i have take it like a man!
