Monse and Yushi introduced two new acronyms to me when I was in Singapore.
Monse once texted OMW, which means "On My Way". I didn't know what it meant, so I asked Monse about it. What a shame on my part right?
Yushi used TTYL in chat a lot. When he first used it, I was like "huh? what do you mean?" and he gave me the meaning: "Talk To You Later".
It's funny how new acronyms can make life harder and easier at the same time. I guess I'll be using these acronyms more often now. I'm getting used to it anyway. Haha.
So what happened today?
I woke-up early to finish packing. Jess, papa and I brought our things to the foyer at around 9:30. I brought Jess' luggage up the stairs since it lost one wheel. Ate Jenny helped us carry some stuff. Thanks Ate Jenny for all the help this semester!
Jess tried to bring my 32-kg luggage up the incline, but she can't do it. Good thing Kuya Vince from the Western stall was there. He helped us in bringing the heavy luggage up the stairs.
We stayed at the AC Caf for a while to eat and rest. At 10, papa and I the remaining bags in the guestroom and brought it to the AC Caf before we checked-out at the check-out counters. Jesse and Roy arrived at the AC Caf soon after. Actually, Jesse was already at the AC Caf when papa and I returned to the caf. Ate Mu was also there, since she was bringing us to the airport.
Thanks Jesse and Roy for sending us off! I hope you enjoy your last few month/s there in Singapore. Thanks for being good friends to us. I hope to see more of you soon. Let's always keep in touch and may God bless you always!
We arrived at the airport early. Papa and I weighed our baggaes and found it to be 10 kgs overweight. Jess' luggage was also overweight. So since Jess wasn't carrying any heavy handcarry, I asked her if it's possible for us to "morph" her bag, by using the extra handcarry bag we have, to carry the extra few kgs overweight. She agreed. Yey!
We checked-in at the counters once they were open. I called Yushi up to tell him that I've already checked-out. I would have called later on but then it was already early morning in canada, so I decided to call at that time so that I won't be much of a disturbance. Jess then went with her friends who came to the airport to send her off. Gwen and Jess asked her friend to take home some stuff, since Gwen had a big overweight baggage. I then went to the GST counter to claim my GST refund.
Jess went with her friends to breeks to eat. Smile's friends went ahead to the Departure Hall, while the rest of us with papa and Ate Mu went downstairs to the Kaya Toast Restaurant. At 1:30, we proceeded to the Departure Hall and waited for Jess to go down to grab her handcarry luggages. Monse went with her back to her friends.
Ate Mu waited outside for Jess. To Ate Mu: Thank you for being such a jolly and wonderful friend to us. You never make us feel that we're anything different. Thank you for all the help and for bringing us around as well in the latter days. I enjoyed your company and you are really a jolly person. Keep on being jolly. Ilang beses ko ginamit ang jolly? HAHA!
We went through immigration and realized that we didn't have to surrended our Student Pass. Yey! We then went to the GST counters to refund our money. My money was reimbursed to my credit card. Great! I'll get it from my sister soon. I called Karina up just to say goodbye, and told her that I'm gonna call again when Jess is already with me.
I called Monse up for one final goodbye, and I passed the cellphone to everyone. When it was Gwen's turn, she began crying. Oh Gwen, we won't forget your emotional moments.
While we were on the airplane, I happened to help Elizabeth Oropesa with her luggage. Great. When we were seated, Jess and I called Karina from Indonesia. We were on the phone even when the plane was already moving. Haha. Pasaway!
I don't get why the stewardesses didn't check before the plane started moving. It was kinda weird. While on the plane, I wasn't able to eat anything as they didn't have vegetarian food. Great. It was a good thing that I ate Kaya Toast before boarding the plane. I hope this won't happen to me in my next trip.
We then landed and went through the health check, which basically is just this gun-like temperature screening. It's not much of a hassle though. We then got our luggages from the conveyor belt. Although we were the first one to get our things, it was actually us who left the airport last. We took photos and said our goodbyes. No more sadness guys! We'll surely see each other somehow, anyway. I'll miss you guys!
My sister and mom were waiting outside for us. Papa and my sister went to the car ahead to bring the luggages. Mom and I waited for everyone to exit the airport before we went to the car. We then proceeded to my grandma's house to say hello to everyone. We then ate at this Chinese Restaurant, North Park. I ate tofu and century egg porridge. Yum.
As soon as we got home, mom began unpacking my luggage. I rested for a bit, talked in YM with some people. I ended up sleeping at 11 PM. That's early for my usual sleeping time in Singapore is in the early morning. Yey, I'm starting to fix my sleeping habits again!
