nyankoframeNothing much happened on this day, except that I had time to eat a final (free) breakfast before checking out and leaving for the Kowloon Airport Express station. The ride was uneventful, and I was able to see Lantau Island in daylight. It certainly looked very different from when I "saw" it in the night. :P
I bought the famous issue of a certain magazine at the airport for a friend, together with a copy of the November/December edition of Foreign Affairs. This is definitely something that could be called "heavy bedtime reading". ^_^; The somewhat strange thing is that I'm not even debating any more now, at least not competitively, so I shouldn't need to read up... yet I still do and like to. I guess I will always be a debater for the rest of my life...
The flight was delayed by about half an hour, and when I landed at Changi Airport there was a slow queue at all the immigration counters until the airport staff opened up a few more counters. That didn't compare to the extremely long wait I had for my baggage to be unloaded from the plane; a 5-minute wait turned into a 45-minute wait with two apologies issued over the public-address system. My flight wasn't the only one affected, either.
I had a smooth ride back home with my father, who'd come to pick me up, and settled myself back in my room and started catching up on the things I'd missed. That didn't take a very long time. :P
