I survived the Night of Surprises last night. The flight journey started well (afterall it's SQ..) watched my long-wanted movie "The Bucket List". I don't know if it has this effect on you too. It simply touched my heart..the love which Morgan Freeman has for his wife, though he felt 'nothing much' for her after all these years.. The Fear of God and commitment to His Word.. He really loves his family, willingly to sacrifice his dreams for them, in exchange for their dreams to be fulfilled..How great is his fatherly love..I cried..yes, I cried..Maybe I should start a bucket list too..afterall there're so many things we wanted to do, which we pushed it till tomorrow..Personally, death is not about leaving a legacy but how many hearts have you touched this life.. You cannot might not be able to change their lives, but you can touch their hearts.. Everyone can do that, just a matter of 'will you?'...After the show, my misery kicked in..I'm SO uncomfortable - my neck ached and my back stiffen. I cant even sit properly to rest..I tried to sleep, but my back just so painful.. This is the worst flight experience, never have I had this before!
The airport service was terrible as I had to wait 45mins at the luggage belt for my luggage! Though it was fun watching the unclaimed bags jamming together at the bend, but I WAS really very tired! (It's already past 11pm in Singapore!) I nearly missed my airport transfer if not for the driver who chased after me. It was really noisy and messy at the arrival hall, ok. Better still, the carpark was so JAMMED with cars (moving + stationary), huge packages, luggages and people! Imagine traffic stand still at international airport carpark! It was really interesting - a different culture. Though I'm freaking tired + frustrated (cos my journey was SO uncomfortable), it's kinda fun to watch the commotion. When we finally drove into the main road, all I see is dark streets + closed shops. If you have been to the alleys of Little Indian at late nights, you'll understand what I mean.. Totally deserted..
We took a few turns before we got to the Hotel. For a moment, I was wondering 'where is this driver taking me to..' The hotel is SO different from the outside. Into an alley, past the gates, it's a total different environment. Talk about hidden modernity~ A true modern hotel tucked behind the dark old alley. I was SO SO tired when I saw my bed..So tired that I even comtemplated not to have my usual 'before sleep' bath. I was REALLY THAT TIRED! The room is clean and cosy, or rather I'm too tired to bother for any dirt, yet I cannot sleep! I don't know if it's jet-lag thingy but I simply cannot sleep! ...set up my laptop, played worship songs and took my sleeping pills (it's a wonder why I last-minute dumped the pills into my bag, just before I left, now I know...)
