it has been one crazy week. especially for Jamie and I. with us having to spend 1 full day in COpenhagen, Denmark. we felt that we've been through a lot: from being insulted of how stupid we were to book the wrong flight and we have to pay $369 SGD if we wanted to fly on the 18th, having our train ticket confiscated because we went to the info counter as we were honest to admit we didn't know where to punch it and didn't want to break the law when it was actually a self service thing hidden obscurely at we don't know where, walking the streets of the city of CPH to see pretty hot babes in lingerie and heels walking the streets for a triumph road show, walked the whole of Louis Tussaud's wax museum (except the scary ones) which would be close on the 31st august for good, found an internet cafe to email jamie's buddy, had Macs for lunch ( which is so freaking expensive), BK for dinner, bought another train ticket, ran back to the airport baggage section, and slept at the airport.
ha.
nevertheless, admist the whole copenhagen saga, i've experience God's goodness right there. my crazy heavy baggage which weighed a hefty 34.2kg, did not pass the requirements of the Scandinavian airlines, or any other airlines for the matter. and i was told specifically to take out 3 kg and pay for the excess of 15kg, where 1 kg = 10 euros. so jamie and i dragged my luggage to a corner, and i was whining all the way while jamie tried to calm me down, and tried reasoning with me on wat to throw away.
when desperate times calls for desperate measures, i called the parents. the parents told me not to panic and just see if i could max my handcarry which was only allowed 8kg. but even before taking out anything from my checked in luggage, my hand carry was already more than 10kg. but i squeezed it all into my haversack anyway. transferred my nescafe and milo to jamie, and simply refusing to throw away anything.
so we walked back to another counter to do a baggage drop. held my breath as jamie and i carried my luggage to the scale. somehow, the bag was too heavy and we didn't place the bag properly. but thank GOd! the scale showed only 22 kg, and jamie's bag which was much smaller showed 26kg but the woman on duty couldn't be bothered to say anthing else.
just wanted to give glory to God. =) i would really say it is a miracle.
