Singapore, Here I Come !!! (Part 1)

Singapore's gay population will increase by one

My time has come. I'll travel alone, all by myself, unprecedentedly. Lifting my luggage, I stride across confidently with my nose high in the air imagining myself as Sydney Bristow on a mission to save the world.

I went to the counter to enquire where my bus is.

Me : (showing ticket) Mana platform? Where's the platform?

Worker: ...blah...puluh..

Me: Hah?

Worker: blah blah

Me: Huh? Sepuluh? ten?


I walked away and talked to my father (who brought me to the station).

Me: Platform Ten ? I heard ten.

Father: What? You didn't hear what he said? He said come back and check again at 10 oclock (30 minutes before the bus departs)! How come I can hear from a distance away but u can't?

Me: (embarassed) I don't know.......

Immediately, I felt more like being Susan in Desperate Housewives.



Can a "blur blur" person like me survive the journey and reach Singapore safe and sound without getting:

  • Detained at Custom
  • Robbed
  • Raped
  • Kidnapped and sold to mafia
  • Murdered for my kidney
  • getting on the wrong bus and reached Thailand instead
?

The answer is Yes!
