We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
-Mitch Albom
After all the packing and more than 30hrs of flights n waiting at the airport transit lounge, i'm finally at Richmond Virginia! The flight to TW frm SGP was okies juz tt the staff at the check in counter at changi wasnt v friendly. i had my fave popeyes again after checking in.
we reached tw taoyuan airport at ard 8pm i think. n the following flight is 4 hrs later so we juz sat ard n drank bubble tea. the bubble tea was really nice juz tt i feel tt there are too many pearls. so nxt up is the 11.5 hrs plane ride to LA. the movies on board werent exactly nice so i opted to switch seats to this row where 3 tv units were not working so i can stretch while the rest of the plane is pretty packed. i didnt nt get to slp much tho cos the air was dry on the plane and i kept sneezing away. LA airport was the same as it was when i was here 2 yrs ago. the wait is as long. when we got down from the plane, we we to go to queue this super long queue where we had the fingerprints taken and our pictures taken before we collect our luggage. after collecting, we went to the exit where we resubmit our luggage for transit for our internal flight. and we had to walk frm tom bradley terminal to T5 to catch our delta connecting flight 4 hrs later. so when we did an autocheck in and printing of our boarding pass, b4 we check in again and we had to remove our shoes n jacket while going thru the metal detector ||-_- so apparently along the way we met this nice senior guy who happen to be airport security staff and we started a chat with him. he thought tt we were 15yrs young! so chiewlin showed him our passport and he saw tt it was her bdae n he treated us to some yummilicious hot fudge sundae. my first paid meal on US soil. so after tt we caught our delta flight to atlanta and got BK Bfast there =) our transit was only for 1 hr before we boarded a really empty flight to Richmond. our hotel from the airport was approx 45mins away and its really ulu here. within walking distance, there's no shopping mall which made me so devastated. there's only Dennys, UNO, Subway n BK and i really dislike to eat bread =( to top things off when i unpacked my luggage 4 of my cup nissin noodles burst and my mac Curry sauce burst too =( so photos post later cos i nvr really take pix n i havent uploaded them too =)
