Countdown

The day has finally come, and I'm about to leave for home. First however, I will have to go through a 3 hour wait at the airport, 13 hour flight, 6 hour layover in Heathrow, and another 8 hour flight. I am fully prepared for my journey: I've armed myself with a pack of baby wipes to "shower" with while in London! With a few hours until I leave for the airport, I have been debating whether to leave the confines of my air-conditioned paradise to brave the Singaporean heat one last time, and make some more last minute shopping purchases. Never in my life did I expect to shop so much, and still want to shop some more. The Sings have an uncanny knack for turning the ordinary into extraordinary.

Things I will miss about Singapore:
  • Shopping (especially: Wisma Atria, Vivo City, Etude House, Charles and Keith, and the super-organized Forever 21!)
  • Food (especially: What Do You Prata, Wisma Food Republic, Hotel Rendezvous Kopitiam, Plaza Singapura Kopitiam, Mos Burger, Kopi-C, Red Dragonfruit, 'Exotic' fruit in general, Milo McFlurries, KAYA toast, and Killiney Kopitiam)
  • People watching at Pacific Plaza
  • Tan, well dressed, attractive Asians
  • Signs that provide guidance for every imaginable aspect of life
  • Beautiful, new, expensive, shiny cars
  • Beautiful flora
  • Cleanliness. The US should implement fines for all of the things the Sings do- our air pollution index would drop exponentially.
  • Ardmore Park. I feel like I'm going home to live in the slums now.
My future roommate sent me a link to fight jetlag. It basically says, don't eat for 16 hours to reset your inner clockwork. HAHA, not happening when I fly on Singapore Airlines!
