Back home now, safe and sound, everyone in 1 piece.
An anecdote from the journey: approaching the destination, there were various digital messages on the road saying "Traffic jam at causeway, avoid it by using 2nd link", something to that effect. And as I drove on, we noticed there were no signboards directing those unknowns to the said 2nd link. No words of "SINGAPORE". Just TUAS, along with some other towns of Johore, in the same font, same size.
Will you know Tuas is actually the 2nd link to S'pore?
At the Immigration, the officer was angry, unhappy, almost "vulgar" (I think!), that I held his booth up as we had to fill in 6 white cards at the spot! He said "why don't you take more white cards when you left S'pore last time and filled all of them before coming in?" Duh! As if I love being heavily verbally abused by him. That moment was really panicky and stressed. I had to squint my eyes really really forcefully to see the tiny prints on the card and match the info from the passport to the blank area. And some more, the phone kept ringing. Adui! Such a relief when we were done.
And all these while the whole world eyes on Beijing. I didn't miss the later spectacular show though. Wasn't that a really good show? And that was the 080808 for me.
