I’m going to airport in few hours… My luggage is halfway done… I don’t know what flight I’m taking… and my sister just told me that the TWD I got is outdated and I have to get them exchange from Bank of Taiwan =.=’ These are too much for my poor single task mind…
I then remember that I haven’t blogged for 2 weeks… and decided to pour out some stuff before taking up the new one :) Hmm… where should I start?
I went back to my hometown on 16th December 2009. The day before, I managed to catch a short birthday dinner with my previous rotation team :D The invitation was at 7pm, and I reached there 10 mins before 10 T_T Nothing can be worse than that. I was really happy that they waited up for me… and totally can’t believe that they still saved up the food for me… even waited for me for the cake cutting. There were so much to do… so I ate, talked, and took pics at the same time…
Shakuntala’s @ Little India
Once I reached back home, I logged in to office and work.. Until… the next morning! I had no chance to sleep for a single minute. I can’t believe how fast the clock hits 5am, and I had to force myself to log off from office network, showered, called a cab, and went to airport…
I was only 20% conscious when I reached airport. My flight was at 7.30. I reached airport at 6.30. After checked in, I spent half an hour at AXS machine trying to pay my credit card bill. Then I walked to Terminal 3 to see a decoration which was promoted so much in radio and newspaper and everywhere. I reached there and stared at it for a full 1 min. Can’t figure out what it supposed to be.
Decoration @ Departure Hall, Terminal 3. Flower? Cherry with Wing? Peeled Orange?
After that, I passed through the immigration check point… and noticed that the time was… 7.10. The boarding gate close 10 mins before departure… and my departure is at 7.30.. Some simple maths told me that I have 10 mins to reach boarding gate. 10 mins. 600 seconds. And the place is at T2. I'm at T3.
OMG.
That’s when I was fully awake I guess. I run to the sky train, run through all the gates… and be the last to reach the boarding gate and board the plane. Yeah yeah. I didn’t notice if anyone was looking at me with grunt… I was just happy that I reached my seat... and I slept until I reached Medan…
Reached back medan, I slept for the whole day. My sister was frustrated with me because I haven’t bought any dress for tomorrow yet I spent my day sleeping… but my body just don’t want to corporate…
The next day, I miraculously found something to wear and I could make it to the wedding =) The happy bride is my cousin… my dear cousin who shared a room with me during my high school… my dear friend who taught me all a girl needs to know about guys… and my dear sister who scolded me as much as cared for me…
Happy Wedded Life, Fen.
I had my hair curled for that day… and I quite like it.. so the next day.. I went to… perm my hair. I was actually hesistating to either perm or straighten it. I asked the saloon people for advices, and they just asked me to try what I want… I think about it… and I decided to get it permed. At least if I don’t like it, I only have to survive for 2 months and get back my old hairstyle when I come back on CNY.
Can’t help but to think of myself on an electric chair, ready to be executed
The suffering ends in 2 hours. I looked at the end result don’t know of what to say.
On my fourth day in Medan, I went out with my friends, my two friends that I never forgot to contact every time I went back – Anita and Elizabeth. I have a fun day out with them… and they opened up my mind to more office life… the politics. I should be more thankful with what I have right now, really…
On my last day in Medan… I spent my time packing all my stuff back… I ensured that I have eaten all the mandatory food – Satay Padang, Nasi Padang, Nasi Goreng, Pizza Hut, Beef Ball Soup, Tiong Sim Noodle, Tabona Curry – and others I cant continue without drooling. I went to airport at around 6 after dinner and guess what… overweight!! – not myself, my luggage! Thanks god they don’t have weight limit for a passenger. The baggage allowance was 20kg… and I have almost 30kg… =.=’’
I was saved by two guys behind me, who offered to share the luggage with me. Thanks, Bros! After some time, I realized that one of them is my senior in NTU… I forgotten his name where he is still able to recall me T_T what a great junior I’m…
I reached back to SG on time, reached back home on time, and the next few days ahead was nothing but work and sleep and comments saying “Auntie!” to my new hairstyle.
On Christmas eve, I worked till 10pm… where most of people in office left after lunch itself. I went to Dwipin’s b’day after that… late as usual T___T after the celebration (for both birthday and Christmas), we went for the 3D Avatar… I can say that I was hardly awake… but I enjoyed the graphics a lot… The 3D effect made the movie really awesome =) Everyone was partially awake when the movie was over… we headed back home and I slept at around 5.30 am…
It was raining the next morning… My roomie and I slept like we have all the time in the world. I woke up at around 2.30. Felt a bit hungry, so had some soup before heading for the karaoke session.
The ladies – still feel awkward of my own hair v_v
The end of the karoeke sessions mark the end of the Christmas… I reached back home at around 12 am… did some packing… and sleep again..
Now is 26th.. and I’m few more hours to airport… time to end this post and start my preparation :)
Till next year,
ED
