B@ck In SiNG@poRe
I’m currently in the smoking room in Beijing International Airport,just staring at the planes & looking at the cleaning ‘ayis’ who have fallen asleep on the seats(no doubt tired due to obnoxious working hours).
My body feels drained this time round,physically & emotionally. I feel sorry for Zoey who came on this trip with me. She suffered as much if not more than me. First gastrics, then sore throat, then fever. I guess Beijing does not agree with her.
We’ve had the weirdest things happen to us.
1) One of Zoey’s soles fell off her shoe at Changi Airport. We just couldn’t stop laughing.
2) The flight was delayed due to "technical problems" according to the head stewardess.
3) Both of us couldn’t really sleep during the flight.
4) When we got to BJ Airport, some guy tried to get us to take his cab & wanted to charge us "cheap" @ RMB 500. We basically told him in a nice way to "Fuck Off".
5) Twice, we got into a cab only to be told that the driver didn’t know where we were heading towards (despite me explaining where)
6) The other sole fell off Zoey’s shoe fell off later that night.
7) We left on 08/14, got room no. 814, Ram got 408 & Ed got 1408..(Ram was joking earlier that since we got the above room numbers, maybe Ed would get room number 1408(the damn thing came true later when Ed checked into the hotel!!)
I tell you, it’s just weird!!Ill write more later tonight.
