air tix - booked!

air freight - booked! getting to the freight company was full of drama mama action. we hopped onto a bus (the only one bus) that would bring us closest to our destination and then to walk from there. say like take a bus from harbourfront to wheelock place then walk down to plaza singapura (thereabts lah). then suay suay, way way before where we were supposed to alight, we got stuck in a jam. the bus couldnt turn right despite the lights being green for 3-4 times. in less than 10mins, the police arrived. traffic emergency patrol they call it. i thought hooray, the police will come direct the traffic and we can start moving. "no way mate, there was an accident and u cant get through", the policeman told our driver. boohoo, the bus had to detour and so it turned left. the driver stopped the bus a distance away from the junction and told all to alight unless we are going to rockdale for the bus is now heading straight to rockdale (where it terminates). jus when we were alighting, with the doors opened, we could hear a loud noise, the noise of a landing aircraft!!! oohhoo! u could guess what happen next. other half and i spent the next 20mins standing by the roadside, not forgetting, in the cold, me in jus a cardi and a shawl (and jeans and blouse. my fault. i thought i could pull it off wearing jus a cardi), watching the planes come down. we were in awe. seeing planes upclose and hearing the engines roar never fail to excite us. the sun was setting and the freight company is closing in an hour and half's time. time is running out. and we had a loooooong way to go, TO WALK. okay, off we went. at first it was "la..la..la...la.......la...." and 'snapping here snapping there' until we made the call - a call to the freight company to make sure they are still there and that they should be expecting a panting couple before 6pm. after the call, it was serious WALKING and RUNNING. no more la la la la la and snapping. it wasnt foreign to start with (cos we went to the freight company before though we aint walking then. went in a friend's car) and then with a map on hand, we know exactly where we were heading. the thing is if we can get there by 6. thank God, we made it!!! and yes, we were so exhausted. i was catching my breath and coughing alil. other half was so afraid i'll come down with an asthma attack and he asked if i was okay. i told him yes thinking he meant the date for the air freight, not knowing he meant if 'I was okay' as in my asthma. well, he asked during the air freight discussion what. haha... so funny. anyway, we got 5 boxes out of the booking. wish it could have been more but its not too bad already knowing they never gave out any in the past. we'll have to scoope ard for more then.

packing - not even half done, but now that we've gotten the boxes, we can start the real packing.
