“Time is money”, it’s a familiar
quote, right? But we often underestimate it and say “be calm and enjoy your
life”. Haha it happens to me too before an incident.
A few weeks ago, I went to
Singapore to join a study tour from my university. The main purpose is to learn
about sign system which is being the subject of my major. At first, all went
according to the plan. I got lots of happiness and unforgettable memories with
34 friends and 4 teachers. But in the last day everything has changed. Each of
us had different time of flight. I had flight on 20.55. So, me and 3 others
friends left our hostel in Jalan Besar on 18.00 with MRT to Changi airport
because we’re afraid about traffic jam. Imagine, we brought our luggage by
ourselves, on foot, ride an MRT, transit in terminal, on foot, ride an MRT, and
so on. Then finally, we arrived at Changi on 20.00.
But the stories have finished
yet. In a rush we checked in at the Air Asia’s counter, and suddenly we felt we
need to buy some food and bring it to the plane. Then we went to Burger King’s
counter on the downstairs, but I didn’t know what happens, we ate our food near
BK, and after we finished our food, it’s already 20.40. OH NO! It wasn’t a good
news totally. We ran to the gate as fast as we could, but we have known yet
that the gate was far far far away. In the end, all of our happiness in few
days ago is replaced by the most regret in our life hahaha we’re late and we
missed the flight. And the worst news was we had to pay a new ticket to take us
home which was more expensive than our promo ticket round-trip at the first. We
got flight on 06.55 so we stayed and slept in Changi.
