departure

My maid left home today with 2 year's worth of memories and 38kg of luggage.After practically 1 month of heavy slacking I was definately not fit to lug a 11kg bag all over world trade centre but thats what I did anyways.We arrived there clueless to where the ticketing booth could be. But I spotted the sign 'Cruise Centre' and since that was the only thing remotely close to 'boats' I followed it.We soon found it and was served by a lady who looked as if there was shit under her nose.She was frowning the whole time and when I asked her where is the baggage check in area she told me vaguely that it was over at the next building.Seeing that I haven't been to world trade since I was like what? 8 ?I innocently asked her how to get to the next building.Her face looked even more irritatable and she said 'You go OVER to the NEXT building'.She waved her hand towards the left and used a tone when you are talking to a moronic idiot.I know its the fucking next building but how to get there la??I couldn't stand her anymore and left hastily.
The 3 of us went up and down the building for around 4 times before 2 uncles showed us the way to the next building.Finally!!At the baggage check in we realised that my maid has overloaded her luggage.No surprise there.She had to pay a extra $4.20 for the big one and hand held the other one by herself.After asking more than 4 people we finally found the immigration hall.She left looking a little bewildered at the speed of things.Well couldn't help rushing what..esp when your boat's gona leave in abut 10 mins!!
My grand ma and I took a cab home and in the cabby driver's seat sat one of the most arrogant man I met.We told him our destination and he rambled on and on about the route he would take.As if wanting us to know how 'knowed' he is about singapore roads.I was like 'whatever la..you bring us there can le'.Soon his phone rang and had one of the loudest and bhb conversation I heard.He said and I quote;'As a LAW ABIDING CITIZEN I would never think of doing that.The trainer at the TAXI ACADEMY told us we are not allow to do that cause of other INCONSIDERATE drivers who would park there...' and so on and forth.You get the idea bahs.I never heard anyone used the words 'law-abiding' so seriously before.And I swear there was once he looked over the rear view mirror and smirked at me!Grrrrr....major eye rolling was going on inside my head.Another thing that ticked me off was that whenever he turned or cut in he would raise his left hand up.As if other drivers would be able to see that.My grandma turn around to see whats happening everytime he does that and he even laughed!!!!!Kao pei la.
All in all the trip wasn't all that great.
oh well.hais.
till then
