WELCOME TO SINGAPORE! 2:46 PM

Yeah man! Finally, I'm back... Guess what? I'm back! You know something? I'm back! On Friday, we had the second party for Uncle Sanju and Aunt Amulya. We reached there really late. But of course, in time to meet everyone before we returned to Singapore. On the way back, Uncle Johnny was driving again. It was seriously damn damn funny. Indian drivers are known to sound the horn atleast once every 30 seconds. Usually, they honk before overtaking another vehicle. Then yesterday, Uncle Johnny was going real fast but a vehicle behind us kept honking. So, Uncle Johnny decided to give way. Even after that Chevrolet overtook us, the driver didn't stop honking. Then on its license plate, we saw: "KERALA STATE". It was a state vehicle. Then Uncle Johnny was like... Wow, state car! But it won't stop sounding the horn? So, he tailed the car, switched on the high beam lights and whenever the car in front honked, he would honk with the same rhythm. Then, he would complain: "Look, there's no car in front for him to keep honking!" When we finally reached a junction where we would separate, Uncle Johnny spammed the horn and said "BYE BYE!" That was seriously the funniest ride I've ever had!!!


Hmm, yesterday, it was my last day in India (for now) but the first day that I woke up myself before 6am. Hmm, anyway, we made it to the airport on time, probably before schedule. We were queuing up at the check-in counters. Then, Uncle Deepu, Aunt Sang, Uncle Deepu's mother, Matthew, Joshua and Tony appeared. Everything was going fine for us till then. I asked Joshua how fast bullet trains are.

Joshua: Buyet trains are veyi speed!
Julian: It's not speed. It's fast...
Joshua: But speed is faster than fast.

GENIUS! He just added another meaning for the word speed. Anyway, they were on the same flight as us. Then, there were the baggage check-in issues. We were taking some bags for them cos they probably were going to exceed the limit. Next, the immigration forms... There were 10 of us, none of us had filled in anything. When we reached the immigration counters, it was horribly crowded. But thankfully, we were the last for that flight so the airline people requested that we jump the queues. After that, the security checks... That was the worst queue I've seen. But the airline ground staff came to our rescue again. Then, we hurried to the boarding gates. Ah, finally! The Singapore flight in the evening was delayed. It was raining too. But we reached Singapore safe and sound! It's good to be home;D
