Singapore .. here I come

As most of you may have known, I am going over to Singapore next week. This is the trip that always been in my mind for months, but all the while I am just saying I will go one day, but never really think about it, until Froggie says "ok, I will go with you".

We started to plan in August. At first, we face lots of problems like accommodation, transportation etc. How can we go to SG if we don't have place to stay. Staying in hotel is an option, but we just can't afford the room rate. We kept on asking friends, and got "sorry, there's no space in my house for you guys to stay" as the reply. Then Ah Chai's name came into light, I asked her about it and I was thinking of getting no as reply, but she said "ok, no problem". We got our 1st green light.

First week of Sept, we managed to buy our ticket from Penang to SG. One step towards our plan.
Our passports? Checked. Got our 3rd green light.

Then what's left is our return ticket from JB to Penang. We got bad news from TAC for 2weeks, telling us the ticket is not yet out/can't buy the ticket for us. We began to sweat, asking around for others to help us buy, and finally got a call from TAC early in 20th morning, and tickets settled!

All the problems had been solved, and we are only waiting for the moment to come, and make sure that we get our buttocks onto the bus, and we are good to go.

Thanks to TAC, who has been 'pestering' us to go to SG since last year, and buying the tickets for us.

Thanks to Ah Chai, who is so generous as she promised to let us squeeze in her room during our trips.

Thanks to FattyMeng, who turn down all the part-time jobs except for 1 (according to him), just to be our tour guide and accompany us.

Thanks to ZL, as I always disturb you during you sleeping hour, and you never say no when I asked you to help me buy bus ticket. Hope you managed to get half-day leave and meet up with me.

Beside this, special thanks to the organizers of UUM IT course gathering in Genting. If not because of you guys, guess we will never make up our mind for this trip in the first place.

Hmm... do you think that it will be fruitful if I were to copy-paste this article into the email argument that is currently going on? :D

The last paragraph sounds juicy enough. ;)
