Away from Changi

The journey really started at home when my parents and I brought my luggages down to take a taxi. We didn't have to wait for long before one pulled up for us. We then went down to terminal 2 so that I can go off and meet my friends while my parents toured around the airport terminals. haha! Thanks to the S9D peeps for coming down :D And I was surprised when elaine came down as well! Thank you! We met at Swensons. I wasn't hungry as I had just taken dinner at home. So I didn't eat anything. We got the Swensons staff to take a couple of group pic for us:

Us outside the swensons with my baggage!

And here are the parting gifts from them:

On my right hand is a wonderfully made book filled with pictures of me and my dear class on our class gatherings! Thank you to everyone who wrote notes inside :) they were thoughtful and memorable. As py said, I can always flip through it when feeling homesick :) And thanks to qh who (i suspect) made it! It's really nice! my parents wanted to see it too, but i denied access, they'll have to wait till i come back!
And below my left hand is a USB adaptor which I need for my mac, since it has only 2 usb ports! A thoughtful gift! yay! I'll open it when i get back into my student room!
And on my left hand is a packet of smiley sweets for my travels! py even put in a scotchtape and rubberband so that i can seal it and keep it! :) And after 2 more pictures at the skytrain station (for those who missed the outing, this station was in the sky! too bad you missed it! HAHA!)

After this, I went off to meet up my parents, who insisted that i eat something. Since I had loads of time before even the check-in counters open, my parents brought me to a restaurant to grab a bite. After that, we went back to do the check-in. k
By that time, my travel mates had already done checking! Knowing that my luggage was far overweight, I went to check in and of course, the lady told me that they were overweight. And my parents then helped me repack the stuff, by squeezing some of the stuff into the hand luggage and taking out some of the stuff. After that was settled, I managed to send in 23 kg of luggage.and my hand luggage was 16.6kg! i found a friend of mine whose Hand luggage was 20kg! and the weight of these were not checked at all! :P I had to throw away a Ponds moisturizer and a bottle of lotion though, cos of the liquids regulation.

5 of us were traveling together on that flight: With that, it's time to end off this post with a few pictures!

And all 5 of us were from different countries: me from India, Mingyi from china, John from Indonesia, FC from malaysia and KH from s'pore!
