back!

Finally, I am back home indefinitely after all the drama with regards to my visa in Singapore. Someone will be replacing me in the project after a week so I won’t be leaving the country anytime soon (I think).

Anyway, funny thing is that I was almost left behind by the plane. I was already in the airport with my baggage checked in well before my flight departure time (something like 3 hours). So I decided to roam around the airport and grab a couple of Corona’s at the bar, I also made a few phone calls since I hade a little less than 50 SGD worth of calls on my prepaid card. Then I decided to buy a few items in the duty free shops since I had some local currency left, by this time I had 45 mins left before my flight thinking I still had time on my hands.

After a few minutes of roaming around, I looked at one of the flight information screens I saw that my flight indicated a status of “Gate Closing”! I nearly panicked! I had 30 mins left till flight time and they were closing the gates! I was quite a long way from my gate so I ran pushing my baggage cart hoping, wishing I wouldn’t get left behind. Mind you I already had a couple of beers and was starting to feel its effects as I ran down the corridors. Needles to say I made it to my flight.

David was supposed to pick me up, but we had a bit of a misunderstanding about the time so I was left waiting for him for around an hour. It was alright though, I was just glad to be back and see good old friends again. We went off to meet up with Dale and Yeng in Eastwood and we had a round of drinks on me. We swapped some stories, had a good laugh and called in a night. Got home half an hour after midnight.

All in all, it was a very good day.
