Trouble, trouble, boils then doubles!!!

I'm sorry to say folks, that my trip really didn't start out as well as I expected..

Things were like well... moderately OK until the point when we got on the plane for the 2nd leg of the journey.

Firstly, the air stewardess skipped me for my lunch.. so the back row and the front row that surrounded me were all enjoying their meals while I was like wondering, what the hell happened to my lunch.. After serving me, the stewardess started to quibble amongst themselves trying to find someone to blame for not serving me... E airlines service standards is starting to fall it seems...

And then... when I was changing out of my glasses into my contact lenses, somehow the keys to the lock on my luggage got misplaced... and I didn't realise until I was asked to open my suitcase..

At the airport upon landing, I was expecting the aerobridge, but instead I got the open ladder instead.. haha... and worse.. I didn't have my coat or boots or hat on me.. The other people kept looking at me like I was some Superwoman.. haha!!

So after walking the 50 metres in a bareback top and sandals to the hall in an outside temperature of 7 degrees celsius, I finally got to the immigration.

As usual, the immigraton offiicers asked the usual stupid questions like: "What are you doing here?", 'Why do you come here so many times in a short span in time?", "How much money did you bring?", 'Where are you staying? Is it far from Location A or B?"

Total time wasters, except the problem was, the lady felt that my answers were not FORTHCOMING enough, damned woman.. so I got detained for about an hour...

And there's where I realised that i had lost the key to my luggage when she asked to see what was inside... So after much ding dong, the lady decided that I was really just on holiday as I have been trying to tell her for the last hour, and let me go...

When I finally got back to my home here in Sugarland, Larry and Nickie had a hard time trying to hack the lock apart.. but in the end, a tiny hair clip saved the day! Three cheers for the local lock picker Nickie..!

Well... if trouble boils around enough, its gonna spill and get less...

I've always believed in the "Up and Down" law... you know? the one that says, 'What goes up must come down?"

So similarly, I think my troubles have peaked, so its time for things to get better...

Hurrah! Though funnily, I'm starting to miss Singapore somewhat... sigh...

At least in S'pore you don;t get treated like some criminal by the immigration officers... else sure tio complains one...
