27th January - A very important day

My plane landed at about 1030pm & I was in a mad rush to the immigration counter. I can't wait to see my darling! But as usual, the queue was long & the automated counter was slow. Quite a handful of people did not manage to clear that part & was whisked away by a custom officer to another area to complete the procedure. I managed to get through that though.

Next up was the duty-free shop. My darling has requested for me to get her a bottle of honey flavoured Choya, a bottle of red wine & some beer for her papa. The queue in there was as long as the immigration counter. Everyone was buying liquor. Partly was due to the high taxes on alcohol. Since it was duty-free, buying liquor was the only right thing for a pure blooded Singaporean to do. I guess it took me about 15 mins to pay for my purchases before rushing to collect my luggage.

The queue at the conveyor belts was terrible too. It looked like nobody has gotten their luggages yet! I was browsing through the hundreds of people waiting outside for my darling while keeping vigilance on my luggage. Perhaps it was due to her new haircut that I couldn't spot her among the crowd.

Not long after, I saw my violet Eminent hardcase crawling out & I lugged it off the belt. I was going straight for the automated doors when a custom officer asked me over to screen my luggage. Never without fail. I get checked every time I had to pass through customs. Do I really look like a smuggler or drug trafficker? I seriously wonder why. The custom officer asked do I have anything to declare, like cigarettes? Without hesistating I said,"yeah, 2 packs". I guess after travelling almost across half the world, he was kind enough to let me through without having to pay tax for it.

I was still trying to find my darling while I was exiting the automated doors & there she was! With her new haircut! She looked gorgeous! I wasted no time in hugging & kissing her. It felt so damn good to feel her warmth again. I missed her so much & felt really grateful she was willing to travel all the way to the airport to fetch me. We made our way to the taxi queue & before long, was in a cab & on our way home!

In the taxi we chatted about my trip & I was telling her about my experience in Heathrow Airport & before midnight, I wished her happy birthday. That is the only reason why I rushed for the flight home from London the same day my course ended. Because it was my darling's birthday!
