Singapore - Day 1

.....And I'm here!

The flight was so SO bad...but then that was to be expected with Indian Airlines. There were these 3 morons - friends clearly - who kept laughing racuously throughtout the flight. And apart from these breaks, I slept throughout the flight - getting up only to eat.

And then I stepped out at Changi....phraji, Changi airport bara hi changa! :) My mother was impressed...and boy, if she's impressed - has to be something else.
Reached the immigration line to a sour looking old man, and of course made him smile. Couldn't have seen a sour looking person early in the morning and left him just like that now, could I have? Got the immigration stuff done, ventured over to duty free and got an eyeful :D till I met my father's eye....didn't shop any, but have my eye on this amazing bottle of Chivas Regal.


Claimed baggage and walked out the airport to a waiting brother and a sexy, sleek black Tri-Star. He stays about 20 kms away from the airport and the drive was a really smooth one. I asked him to play the tour guide and he started off with showing off the perfectly manicured trees which form an umbrella over the road. Singapore has what is the east coast on one side and the west coast on the other. DUH! :) I shall write more about it whenI go and see more of it :D

AAH! now to the eventful part. We reached home and of course there was the swagat committee standing there - bhabhi, my niece and my bhabhi's sister. So we did all the jai ram ji ki's and the hugs and kisses and started picking up the luggage - we traveled really light, by the way: only 10 kgs per person...when we get back, it will be a different story altogether of course! So anyway...we're picking up the luggae - me, my bro and my niece. Picture this in slow motion, I'm leaning over to pick up a bag. I've now pcked up the bag and am standing up straight, when suddenly I feel something making contact with my beautiful lips. And about a moment later I see stars. I wonder who could have made THAT happen. Apart from my bro n my father, there aren't any handsome men around. I looked up straight into the sharp end of a mean looking black umbrella!

About a minute later I could not contain myself and had tears in my eyes. They were tears of pain, dammit.

But i'm not going to let a small accident spoil my trip. So, I'm now looking at myself in the mirror. I, my friends, have a sexy pout! I shall put up pictures when I start taking thm. For the time being...I'm off for a long soak in the bathtub- while it rains outside on Singapore.

Ciao!
