So, as you probably
know by now, in December last year I managed to pull off the biggest
lie of my life (with the help of the best dad ever) and convince my
entire family that I was staying in England until late January when
in reality I was sneaking back home a month early to surprise them
all for christmas.
So when I was
supposed to be heading to Weymouth with the Scotts after the Warner
Bro's Harry Potter Studios, I was actually sneaking across London to
get sorted for my flight to Singapore the next morning.
So on the morning of
the 18th of December I was in a taxi heading to Heathrow,
chatting to the driver about my big secret plan and he was telling me
all about his home in Sierra Leone which was very interesting.
I got to Heathrow
and did all the normal airport stuff, and eventually got on the
flight and made he most of the movies on the seat back system.
Once I got to
Singapore I got a shuttle to my hotel for the next two days and
immediately got changed into shorts because it felt like 100 degrees
in comparison to the English winter I had left behind. I spent my
time in Singapore doing three things, the first was seeing as much of
the city I could, the second was sleeping because my jet-lag was
horrible (asleep by 8pm and wide awake at 4am every day no matter how
much I tried to stay awake until late or sleep in, and the third
thing was staying away from any form of social media, because no one
knew that I was on my way home except for dad, and the family in
England....
While in Singapore I
went to the botanic gardens, walked along orchard road (I was so
disappointed that I had no suitcase space because I could have spent
all my money there.. I also saw the Marina Bay Sands hotel, which I
don't really remember because the combination of the heat and jet-lag
I was basically sleepwalking the whole time..
Because I don't
really remember a lot of Singapore, and I was back in my hotel by 4pm
every day, I thought I would as usual dump a whole lot of photos and
claim its a semi-decent blog post!
There were turtles in the lake! |
I figured I had to have a photo of myself there because no one would believe me otherwise.. |
Butterflies at Singapore Airport! |
Somehow, despite the
jet-lag and hundreds of things that could've gone wrong, I managed to
sneak half way across the world, spend three days in Singapore, catch
3 flights and no one had a clue!
My best friend from
school picked me up from the airport and took he to her house so I
could have a shower and wait until it was time for me to go home for
the first tie in over a year.
Dad had managed to
convince the whole family and a few friends to come round for a
cocktail night to days before christmas, so when I walked in the door
everyone was there, and the look on their faces was an absolute
picture!
And just like that, my gap year was over! But I'll do
a special post about it, don't you worry ;)
