flew a long long way back from aust last nite after two weeks of fun and holidays. a good eight hours flight. was seated besides a very sweet, old aust lady who was on the way to Rome with her church mates. wow... so envious. my holiday was coming to an end. Hers has juz begun. She was so sweet that when i was first seated down besides her, she immediately greeted me with a very warm smile and asked how was my day. it was oso her first time on a flight. we went on to chat about aust and her trip. thoughout the flight, i taught her how to use the inflight facilities, the remote control, explaining to her the meal menus, helped her opening up some snacks that were sealed too tightly and so on, and she always replied with a 'thanxs sweetheart....' or 'darling' at the end of her sentences. she never failed to replied the same way to the stewardess as well. haha... who can reject helping such a dear old lady? at the end of the flight when we reached singapore, she thanked me profusely, and told me she was glad to have me seated besides her thru'out the journey. i went on my way home and wished her a smooth flight and a good holidays, and directed her and her frenzs to the cafes and shops in the airport during their transition break to rome. not bad to have such a good closing chapter to my holidays in oz this time. after talking to the old lady, i felt happy. lighted hearted. even generous. and can't help smiling to myself on the way home.
maeve has really driven to the airport to fetch me home. and the two of us struggled with the heavy luggages. at one point, we nearly toppled over the luggages coz my flat din have a lift on every floor. i have to summon allllllll my strenght to carry it down the long long flight of stairs. dad was out. too bad. so i was the only strong one left. but i did manage to carry it home then (",)
had a short chat with maeve. then with mom. sooo long din tok to them. maeve seems to be very stress. as her good frenz, i have tried to calm her and offer watever advice i can give. anyway i am back!! so i can be with her any time she needs me. hiak! aunt agony is here! =P let me deagonised your pain =P
