Day 6 - Osaka to Home sweet home(super high n seh day)

Sin told us the night before we need to wake up at 6am to get ready by 7am as our aim is to reach airport at 9am.

ahha..our room is still in a mess when we woke up..

But was very glad we need not arrange the bed haha..

My bags all ready to go.


haha all our luggage combined force..


Last group photo at hotel reception...

Left the hotel n waiting at the train station to board the train to change to express train to airport. by the time i think already 8am.




The train came at 8plus...
me n baoli's luggages really kua zhang lor..so big!!!

As compared to us, fei n sin's luggages look like dwarfs.




We are supposed to change to another train when we alight from previous train..but we start to worry when the train we are waiting for didn't show up on the electronic signboard. for a moment we thought we alight at the wrong station. we start to panic already because we looked at our watch it is already 850am n we are still not on the express train!! we are supposed to reach airport at 9am!!!

Sin saw a train conductor at platform n asked her if we are at correct station n when will the train arrives. the person clarified with us we are indeed on the correct station but the train will arrive at 910am!!!! wat duh!!! the train comes at certain interval n we missed our earlier one!! shito!
For the past 20mins we are like worrying freaks..thinking wat if we miss the plane???! *horrified. sleeping on streets/sleeping at airport all sort of thoughts come to our mind.

it's only when the train arrive...Wa ..so relieved to be on the express train to airport!! after waiting for like 20mins with panic n shivering with cold at the station.

triumph grin =DD


I immediately called liam from spore n asked him to go internet n get me some impt numbers..OSaka airport mainline n SIA counter number at Osaka airport. Main thing is to inform the counter ppl we were on our way, running late..

Liam got me the number in less than 5min n i immediately passed to Sin. i can hear Sin speaking fluent jap to the person over the line. After she put down i ask her how is it..will the plane wait for us?? she say yes n the counter person asks which stop we are at at the moment to gauge whether we can make it or not before telling us we can make it. wa biang chua4 sai4 sia.

Finally can relax on the train w/o worrying that we will miss our flight!!!


Baoli n me 'chopped' one seat to ourself..bo bian..so many barang barang .

Sin told me a few stops before airport that she will carry all our passports n dashed to the counter to check in first while i help her pull her luggage.

I tell u, if it is not by God's grace, i wouldn't have make it cuz my luggage was bloody big n her bag is heavy. i was like pulling 2 luggages of dirrent weight up the escalator a bit disoriented so scared any moment my hand let go it will tumbled down n crush onto Baoli or Fei who were behind me = =

we reached the airport like 1010am. zzz. the express train took 1 freaky hr to reach airport.

Thank God We made it!! we were like running furiously fast towards our boarding gate when we saw the time on the wall indicating we still left 10mins before gate closed. damn it, if we dun take this 10min buy all the local delicacies back we would b left with alot YEN unused n nothing for our friends n families!!!! so we dashed back to a nearby airport shop n literally sweeped any biscuits box that comes to our sight. like those frenzied shopper who saw GREAT SALE on the signboard. it is really so extreme till the airport operator has to come to the shop n call us back to boarding gate along with other passengers(we were not the only one doing it la haha)

Wah, finally sia, we are on the plane, which means we surely will go home n not stay in the cold harsh street of Osaka for missing the plane.. =X so relieved n no more constipated face. >u<


As i was browsing thru the booklets shoved at the backseat,a catalogue's cover caught my eyes n i immediately took a pic of it. Later on i show it to Gerald, my wedding photographer cum fren n told him i wan exactly this feel. N we did the shot. i was happy with the turn out. even Celia said that my eyes are pretty!!! =DD lalala~~

But sadly, we had an unpleasant experience with this flight, A JAPANESE air stewardess n A air steward during our flight.

After the flight took off n came to the off belt position, we all are eager to use the remote control to watch some shows n keep us entertained. But, we realized there isn't interactive mode to select for our remote control. Usually the remote control consist of 3 main buttons: radio(FM), video(movie n recorded tv shows) n interactive(games n albums).

To our horror, the 2 other buttons are not functioning normally too. ended up we couldn't listen to any FM let alone albums cuz no interactive mode. we tried watching tv shows but as n when our screen will jump/interrupted n go back to the beginning of the show!!! or we tried viewing other channels n found out the recorded shows cannot b rewinded..if previous passenger watch till a certain point, we would have to continue watching from that point. IT IS SO MEANINGLESS! Sin tried to seek help from the air steward who is in charge of our aisle n he murmured something inaudible which Sin assumed he will get back to her but he didnt!! sin also realised the passenger in front of her asked him the same thing!!! tsk.

The JAPANESE air stewardess whom we all dun like served out aisle. ok la dat's y we know she sux n dislike her. When she was serving the drinks, Sin requested for hot green tea which is not a ready drink n required to be made at the pantry. so when de stewardess ignore her n went to the next passenger, Sin thinking that de stewardess didnt hear her, repeat where is her green tea n she attitude back at her saying have to wait. Cant she reply politely. Not as if we need de green tea NOW also. if she so agitated, y she choose to work in serving line. Serving line sux i noe, but she really not up to it.

The horror haven end, she managed to annoyed me. I was like whispering to this sucky stewardess checking when will the cake be served, she replied me impatiently,"Let me check." and started walking away. i quickly called her back n ask her i just need to know roughly when cuz i wan to sleep ma..if they are not serving soon. She liker aised her voice n her expression is like twisted," PLS give us some time to arrange n prepare." TOLD U her ang moh is lousy!! she dun get wat i mean. She nvr ans my qns. All she did is to attitude me! hello i dun deserve it ok.. I PAID for the flight. goodness. next time SIA got offer flights u guys better think twice. our flight to OSAKA is so pleasant ok!!! n she give me her best FAKEO smile acting to b polite n walk off to attend to other passengers. i believed i almost puked at her pretentious smile. PUI~!

Sin n Baoli were so angry that they wanted to write complaint letter. Aiya, told them save the energy la..y waste time/EQ on these not worth our attention ppl.

In conclusion, we all passengers are stuck on an old/lousy plane with lousy attitude stewardess/steward. zzz

Finally lunch is served n it saved our day n turned our mood slightly better.
Everyone select the japanese lunch. yea got my fav soba!! till then..we are still waiting for fei's bdae surprise. Baoli couldn't sleep well, sin as n when woke up with camera still holding in her hand. she didn't want to miss any moments.


Finally, the cake was like came after all food is served on plane n cleaned away from all the passengers' trays...we are so agonized by the exact time the cake would arrive that we dare not sleep..SQ, u should improve r communication with the customer. Stop hiring some japanese air stewardess to represent SIA. tsk. english not up to standard n still want attitude me. bloody.

Anyway the cake is pretty. But at first we thought the surprise would come like a proper surprise. Maybe cabin crew made their way from the front n sing bdae song till they reach fei's seat..but nvr. As we sat at the end of the plane, the LOCAL air stewardess whom i think is friendlier n polite, bring out the cake silently n pass it to fei. =((


HAHA..actually fei is very touched just that her kang kang face couldn't show it nia..afterwards she was like enjoying the cake all by herself.


When the plane is 20mins to touch down, i quickly pull out the wig from my bag to put it on.. reason: to con liam when he see me at arrival hall that i cut short my hair before wedding n made him emo lor. hahahaha.

This plan's amstermind is actually fei. She is so eager to see liam's emo face that she is so helpful to come up with the plan n helped me collected the wig also..gam xia ah fei. =D

Everyone got excited n started trying the wig.
If sin has thicker hair, she will look really good in short crops. too bad hers is thin n fine. so live with yr long n boring hair ba hahahah.


I think Baoli looks really cute in this bob wig!!! wah dunno if the wig owner huiping sees my blog will she kill me that so many ppl have worn her wig..for maybe 1 min only la hee..


After we alight the plane, i immediately went to toilet and re-adjust my wig so my real hair will be totally hidden inside it.


I'm all ready to fool dar dar haha..

But to my disappointment, he was late!!! i expected him to already reach the arrival hall and be shocked with my short hair!! Other than Yaoliang waiting for sin outside the glass panel, there isn't a sight of liam. i received a sms later saying he is running late. grrrrrrrrrr...spoilt my plan.

When he arrived, i shot him the disappointed/disgusted/pek chek look. But actually i very happy to see him. =X And i was totally satisfied when he said he really though it is my new hair n give de =___= look. HAHAH. i win. =X *even yaoliang thought it's my real hair when i came out of the exit...

Dar try to redeem himself by giving me the flowers...i found out afterwards that he wrapped it himself = = sin commented looked like CNY theme..red n yellow. zzz. well his fashion taste is outdated.

Dar looked like a rockstar!! beetles generation.

Or flintstone char??i cannot rmb..this char got such long mane that it covers its eyes. amusing sight heeee.

Still remember the moment i see him i was like so happy to the extent that i felt something is lost is recovered again feel..

ANyway AFter the trip i surveyed the rest of the girls. they don't really miss Osaka, so i guess we won't be gg back in our lifetime already. Save more moola for Europe/Middle East/Antartica trip!!!

Recent life...

Recently, dunno why I start to pick up the hobby of reading..reading a novel has not been always my fav things on my list, as i find it time consuming n mind sapping. I even have the paranoid thoughts of reading too much will made me wear specs!! ahaha..But i also have contradict thoughts of wanting to wear specs cuz i wan to look like a cool GEEK. HAHAHA..if best come with braces...it's an expensive fashion tag.

I tot, after i came back from mission trip, i will have more time n energy to channel into my wedding prep. But well, i sorta lose the momentum. sometimes i wonder, is it because liam is not with me? I feel kinda hollow. It's an agony to restart my motor again..or is it because i finish my photoshoot le so no more to look forward??

Met up with sin n fei on Monday to settle some bdae present..den on casual chit chat on MRT, Sin said something which strikes me. " You dun always wait till last min then anyhow make decision or choose something cuz u do not have the time already..n regret later.."

I regurgitate n think abt wat she says, definitely it makes sense. i also knew it myself but i always choose to avoid/ignore/escape. FInally God is letting me understand more about myself, not just understand, also to learn from my weakness n make it into a strength.

Like my self centeredness..everything about me me me. Like only I will think in this way. But, actually, alot of ppl went thru the same thought as me just that they nvr express openly. It sorta surprised me when this thought dawned upon me. Surely i won't suddenly open my mind or become more knowledgeable, it is God Who wants to speak to me. I prayed to HIM to lower the PRIDE in me..n HE did it in bits n pieces, so that i will not have a shock. haha.

Ya, i just realised i love to escape from prob!! or slight difficulties!! or even a mere challenge i will turn myself away! Liam's dad, liam's mum, recent job issue. When liam is not around me, i have to b independent, n have to learn to face it. Last time when i escape from it, Liam can settle. But now he is not around, im like the front line, facing all the issue which needs trouble shooting =(

Dealing with his parents (major project sia)
Paying credit card bills
Settling tenants little misunderstanding with his parents
doing administrative stuff for liam/liam sis/liam dad
Dealing with his temperamental computer
Fighting mould issues in his room

All these may sound stupid/lame/nothing to u..but these are the little hurdles me myself have to overcome in my life right now. it is time consuming, tedious, not pleasurable at all n mind boggling. These can b Satan's tools to dislike them more, but i view it as blessing in disguise. to mould me, shape me n use me when times to come...

Tired liao..nights.
