Day 0 - Pre-departure
I spent the day variously packing and moving my possessiongs into storage. Packing was the easy part compared to what came next. Having successfully closed the lid of my giant pink suitcase, I had to put them at the car park so that the bf’s friend could load them into his car. The bf helped me with Big Pinky, pulling it up one step by one laborious step. Then the bf’s friend delivered the clincher. The car, which had been smoking ominously after doing the bf’s trip, had now given up the ghost. The friend called his mum who insisted on bringing down the large family car, and we managed to put all my stuff in one load.
We went back to the storage room after dinner because I had some msicellaneous stuff I had put aside, anticipating a lack of space. We loaded up a cab and bid farewell to our rooms. Items safely stored, we boarded a bus to Harbourfront, then took 3 different trains to finally arrive at Changi Airport. We weren’t due to check in at the Budget Terminal till 5 am, so we wandered around looking for a place to sleep.
The Terminal 2 viewing mall was too bright and noisy - some kids were playing takraw. So we took the Skytrain over to Terminal 1 where their viewing mall was much quieter. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable, but we got some sleep. Or at least I managed to doze a bit. We left Terminal 1 by walking to Terminal 2 where we caught the bus to the Budget Terminal, where our adventure truly begins. Cos the Budget Terminal is new, see, and you go on holiday to see new things.
