Day 5: Bye-Bye! I'll Miss You!

Sob~! The end draws near...
Ok, stop being so melodramatic! Hehe...

Me and Zhi Wei didn't have time on Tuesday morning for anything else other than last minute packing and a short trip to the Handicraft Market. I wanted to get that durian container.. but oh well, everything's fated. The stalls that sold the durian weren't open yet by the time we had to leave.

We didn't even have time for breakfast because of that... but we did get a small bonus. Our car rental company were really accommodative with our request - for us to return the vehicle at the airport. The biggest inconvenience we could have caused them - someone to follow us to the airport (and drive the car back). We had basically returned the car, not only earlier (by like 3hours), but with an additional 1/4 tank - hence, I couldn't really see why they would even refuse us in the first place.

We arrived at Terminal 1 approximately 1 1/2 hours before departure. Check-in was a breeze and after, I just HAD to roam around. Frankly, I was awed... didn't really expect such a modern looking terminal. We didn't have much time to take lots of photographs (that and the single digit on my camera memory) - i'd probably look it up when I get back...



We didn't have much time to look in-depth, but some parts of the terminal looked like it was still under heavy construction. The shops, both in the public concourse and the transit area, were unfortunately quite sad - nothing much except duty free, cafe's, mcdonald's, starbucks (inside), a super-expensive-only-for-last-minute-shopping handicraft outlet, frozen seafood, and a bookstore.

Our plane took of somewhat on-time - 10 mins behind schedule to the an incoming aircraft. It was all great as due to the location and direction of the plane (whilst waiting), I got to watch a plane land as though it was coming straight at me! Enough excitement for the next few months - it's time to go home....

2 1/2 hours later - we waltzed through the Singapore Immigrations at the Changi International Airport. Didn't do everything I wanted/planned to do.. but it wasn't too bad... Now, if only I could figure out the drama during the wedding...
