ずっと待ってた

ずっと待ってたわ。本当に。約束を守ったけど。

Something stupid happened today.We went to the airport hoping to send the Japs off and wish them a good flight but despite me rushing out two letters to Minami and Yumi, rushing to catch the train so that I might be on time to meet them, I didn;t get to see them at all.

Why, you ask.

Well let me start from the beginning...

I reached the airport terminal at 10pm, just in time to meet them. Checked out the departure board. It said that passengers for SQ 986 were supposed to check in at row 5. Ok. Fine, so we waited at row 5 for them. But it seemed that they weren't coming. At 10.30pm, we wondered, and we attributed the late-coming to the Night Safari(last thing on the itinerary) to be so fun that they had to look around a bit more.

So we continued waiting.




And waiting....



At 11pm, yvonne and xiaoxuan went into the check in counter to enquire if they had checked in already, just in case. the bloody ground crew, a man said it was confidential and he couldn't say anything. Ok, so we waited since their flight was at 1.10 am and we had time left.





So at 12.00am, we asked the ground crew again, another woman. This time, she said they had already checked in. AT 10.30 pm! !@#$#$%#^$&$ Hence we ran to the information counter, called for paging service so that at least they could come out to receive our farewell gifts at the entrance. We waited another 20 min. The information counter woman said that they were on the plane already. !!#$!@#^!!^@#%^

And there was, the night before, walking around like a zombie trying to get my last minute gifts for minami and yumi. then all the waiting, infringing on our own time. Fortunately wenhan's parents volunteered to drive us home, or we wouldn't have managed to catch the bus.


But the worst thing is. Minami would think that I didn't keep my promise to see her off. and there we were 7 out of the eight hosts already waiting from 9.30pm.　They would think that Singaporeans were a bunch of irresponsible people who didn't keep their promises. A mere 100 metres or so away from each other. So near yet so far. We waited. We really did. We kept our promise. but it was all in vain.

xiaoxuan " you grab that one(security guard) i grab this one, the rest of you chiong in."


I wonder why is there this BLOODY DISCREPANCY between what is stated on the departure board and reality. Masaka, they were really taking Raffles Class? In that case, they would all go to row 10 for check in despite what the board said. But how can it be possible...Are they so well-to-do? After all, it IS a student excursion...

And why is it that none of the Japanese called us? We all exchanged contacts and promised to see them off.. And Minami's swimsuit is still with me, they could have called...

Why is everything to do with Japan so jinxed? I think I am the jinx in the class with my 钒钛岁this year although we had agreed at the airport that it might be sensei haha. First it was all the scholarship crap, then this. We were so near each other. And some of us were walking around shops while waiting. But we never met. 縁がなかったらしかたない。

what to do. my fresh bak kwa wasted. minami said the fresh bak kwa nice that's why i wanted to give it to her as a souvenir. so we ate it on the van lor.

最後のさようならをいうのもチャンスがなくて、ごめんなさい、みなみ。
