4AM?

i CANNOT remember when was the last time i had to wake up at 4am.. but today i did.. and it was not funny at all.. more crazy than anything was that we (me & Sis) only managed to turn in at around midnight.. as can imagine, putting us together in a situation like that only brewed trouble..

i took a shower first and then we were getting ready for the 5am cab that i booked the night before.. 2 of us in a tiny room with plenty of luggages lying around? TROUBLE getting around.. the unearthly hour didnt help.. and Sis was trying on different outfits at 4.30am in the morning! Gosh!

i couldnt take it out on my Sister who is here on a holiday, so i took it out on the cab driver instead! but trust me, he asked for it.. he pressed the doorbell at 5mins to 5am in the morning! hey, all my housemates were still in bed!

so i opened the door and gave him a piece of my mind before he can even say the word 'Hi'.. yup, i did and i didnt bother about my manners at all.. no 'harlow' and 'good morning', there was only:

"OH MY GOODNESS! Why did you press the bell at 5am in the morning? We are ready and waiting for you! Why did you have to press the doorbell? GEEZ!"

well, it was somewhere along that line and i was trying to convey my message in the tiniest voice that i could squeak in.. anyway, poor cab driver was in shock and only muttered, 'oh~'

after that, the very pissed-off me turned around and went back to my room and shooed my Sis out of it and off we go, what a nice start to a lovely day~

when i booked the tickets for Sis, i didnt think that it was that early and the buses were not running yet from where i was staying.. the buses heading towards the airport from the city were available at this unearthly hour though.. so we took the cab to the city to catch the second earliest bus to the airport..

as mentioned, we had a lovely start to the day and the day got even better when it started to drizzle when we were waiting for the bus.. no dramas but it was 'pouring' when we got to the airport.. 'pouring' for SA's standards.. but still considered 'raining' for Singapore/Malaysia..

we were earlier for check-in but the staff for Tiger Airways were late.. hey, it's no big deal except that it's adding on to my lovely day~ when i went through the check-point, i had to remove my heels because they make the 'electronic gate' go 'Di! Di! Di!'.. soil on my heels, i reckon..

breakfast was Chicken Wrap from HJ's for me and a Sausage, Bacon & Egg Wrap for Sis.. and of course a Grande Flat White from CIBO for me.. i have no idea how i survived today, really.. i thought i would have to tell BM that i have to go home because if not, my face will slam into the keyboard some time after lunch.. but i guess the workload kept me going..

Sis flew off at about 7.50am and i headed back to the office.. the bus was really packed on the route back to the city.. to think that i was still thinking about renting along the J1 line.. i have to reconsider..

we were on the Murray Expedition for the weekend, starting from Friday evening till Sunday evening and it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip.. shall update about it in a separate entry as promised, with photos of the 4th longest river system in the world..

amazingly, i didnt get river-sick but i have been land-sick ever since Sunday evening till today.. but it's fading away now.. *phew* i had enough of *floating left & right* and *bobbing up & down* on land~
