yoz people! I have officially finished my exams/papers/anything elese that prevents me from having fun! Hahaha! I am now back in Hanoi after shooting myself in the pocket because of the ticket prices! I almost got stranded in 2 airports and expecting that to happen when I return. I will talk about that incident later. I am really bored right now. I still don't know how to ride a motorbike (bleah!!!! Lousy lor) and neither do I know how to drive a car (wah liao!!!!!). I miss singlish to a great extent! So if any of you happen to go online and see me, buzz me so i can spill all my suppressed Singlish out! I want to go out and go shopping and do something fun! Arrrggghhh, I am so bored!!!!
Btw, we should have a group chat session again!
Ok, so here is my almost-nightmarish/almost-fun-story:
I arrived in St. Louis Lambert International airport at 6.30 am (after waking up at like 5.00 am and takind the 5.30 am train) only to find that my flight to Minneapolis (supposed to be scheduled at 8.30am that day) had been cancelled due to the huge snow storm. What happened was that they scheduled me on another flight to minneapolis an hour and five minutes earlier. So I had to fly at 7.25 am, and I had to check in at another counter (which had like a hundred people queuing). So after I checked in, it was like 7.05!!!!! (and I still had to go through the security checkpoint, which contained like 1000 people) And for your information, the gate closes 15 minutes before flight departure!!!!! I was soooooo scared!!! So I ran and ran and made it! Hah! The plane was so small, and I sat at 1A, right behind the pilots (I didn't know the pilot cabin was so small.... and so full of funny things: their hand cream, rubber ball, etc.)
So I arrived in Minneapolis and almost lost my luggage (cause one of my carry-ons was supposed to be taken at the gate, but I didn't know and nobody told me so I thought it was put on the conveyor belt... BLEAH!!! So difficult, so I went two rounds around the airport to get back to the plane gate, having to go through security twice!!! OMG)
Ok, so when I was in Tokyo: I had like 1.30 hours to get to my plane. But the security checkpoint lasted for a very long time (1 hour so be exact)… and when I got out I realised that I need to go to another terminal for the flight (and the bus to the terminal won’t leave until 5.45 pm. It takes 10 minutes to get to the terminal. My flight were to leave at 6.10 pm. I have no boarding passes yet!). So I ran to the Northwest Counter and they got me a bus to take me to the other terminal! Lucky lor, or I would’ve been stranded with my 20-page essay due the next day (I had not written any words yet, even though I had some idea)!!!! Crazy!!!!
