一眼瞬間

Were you talking about this song?



白茫茫的星光 灑在長長路上
想念的冰涼　你知道嗎
　　　
淺淺的微笑　深似海的眼光
突然掀起我　滔天的巨浪

妳相信嗎　這是命嗎
這次我們放棄抵抗
那怕擁抱 在身上　劃下深深的傷

只要看你一眼一瞬間　哪怕是最後畫面
我的世界　因為愛過而完美　誰都不該離太遠

只要看你一眼一瞬間　足夠我熬過千年
我不後悔　愛若讓末日提前
我們要一起　好好迎接那句點

如果相愛是錯
錯過又算什麼
這一次我們　抵死不放手
往彼此的心裡跳　跳到天荒地老


Currently transiting in Hong Kong International Airport, found a comfy space and set up "camp" here. The only things short - the fire and the tent. I'm waiting for this black guy to wake up who's taking the seat in front of me. Not a very good idea to be wearing white pants and be sitting on the ground. But hack it, this is the only power point I've found so far and I'm not going to explore with bags that weigh a tonne. My flight's is in another 3 hours' time so I'd better make myself comfortable. Ok, not a very good idea because my thigh is burning under the laptop! Obviously, not designed to be a good "laptop".

My flight started out rather rough. I usually do an early check in online ebing the kiasu Singaorean that I am so that I'll get the seat I want. I even had to make a detour on Friday just to check myself in early. So when I wobbled all the way down the aisle to my seat bearing in mind that I was carrying a shitload of stuffs, to my horror, I saw two kids sitting on my 55K. Then the Mom, did not even try to be polite, just took it for granted that I will swap my seats with her. "My whole family leh and you only one person, cannot change meh?" I went, "what?". I wasn't given much time to react... Still in a daze, the "not so bright stewardess" came along and asked if I could change to be seated in the middle of a pile of people. I told her I would if you give me a similar seat, window front row seat, otherwise I'm just terribly sorry. The stewardess just turned to tell the lady and said, "sorry but this passenger don't want to move." I'm sure there's a better way she could phrase that. Airhead! (Pun intended in everyway!)

The family started to speak in hokkien thinking that I don't freaking understand and needless to say, they spoke about everything bad they could say about me and they felt that they were talking to a wall. BUT I WAS STILL IN SHOCK??!! I just put on my sunglasses, pretended to look cool and ignored them, as if I've transformed with a cold heartless creature. Which essentially I did, depending on which perspective you're looking from. I knew I was being a bit of a fussy pot but I will not allow myself to feel uncomfortable on a flight because I do get motion sickness very easily and I'm not going to risk that especially when I still have 20 solid hours of flight to go. Tough cookie eh?

The Mom sat beside me and the whole trip, she made life really difficult for me. She was blasting about me in Hokkien, her fats were overflowing and her hands were constantly on my arm rest. I was so afraid I didn't even dared to watch my in flight entertainment because I had to lift the screen behind her calf. Naturally, I will need her to ask her to excuse her legs. After the meal, there was a bit of a musical chair and the little boy eventually sat beside me. I slowly tried bribe him with Toberone, peanuts and candies. When he was complaining of thirst after the nuts, I even got him coke. And we chatted about everything from cars to his favourite colours and within 30 minutes, we were best of friends. Smarty as I always am, I was trying to appease the father through him. You should have seen how angry he was when I refused to change seats. He could have killed me with a pinch!

The little boy told me he's going to Disneyland and I exclaimed and said that I've never ever been to Disneyland and he should thank his Mom and Dad because they worked very hard to afford such a holiday for him. Instantly, he snuggled up to his Dad and thank him. Such a sweet kid and of course, the Dad soften and smiled at me. But I genuinely feel kids should learn to be grateful and not take things for granted. Holidays are not a must for parents to provide and they look every bit like the average middle class people (not a criticism, just stating a fact and opinion) and a holiday to them must be a huge cost, not mentioning that they have 4 kids in tow and a Grandma. I'm actually glad that I made him make his Dad's day though. We all don't thank our parents enough. Even for myself, I usually just stuff some extra cash over the usual insurance payment amount for my Dad but have never verbally expressed the gratitude.

Another 18 hours before New York City and my bones are already shattering to bits. I need a tempur!

I miss the face that I missed to see this morning...
