Of all days to over sleep..

post first created while in Barcelona.

633???

the first thing i shouted uttered today.

i had planned to wake up at 450am to pack and get ready to leave my nest for the past 140 days. when the hp alarm rang i wanted to hit the snooze button but i guess the alarm was turned off instead.

i need to pack, throw away thrash and sweep my room within 40mins.
panic panic panic

what followed was any how squeezing of unpacked items into bags that were already threatening to explode, and a fast sweep of the floor. now i am missing some items, dunno whether they are my check in bags or i plainly forgot to pack them.

by the time i was ready to go, it was 736am. i missed the tbane (the subway here) and had to wait the next one. my flight was at 945am. the estimated traveling time (not including waiting) it takes to get to the airport is about (17+22) 39mins. i had to get my bags checked in by 9am, 45mins before the flight. a tight tight pinch.. high tension! the consequences of missing the flight was unthinkable. that’d mean spending lots of money i dun have to catch the next flight out to barcelona as my BA flight from Barcelona to Singapore was the next day. I need to get to Barcelona.

i slipped and fell on my arse two times in a row as i was leaving my block! while carrying all my luggage! the icy road and slight slope was all that was needed. i think i fell at the exact same spot 3 times to date. only noticed hand was bleeding when i finally got on the plane.

my trolley luggage was over weight by 7.2kg. had to pay close to 100sgd to check it in. those who get gifts from me better appreciate it ah….

After getting to Barcelona things got a little better.

Had some trouble finding the hostel as its name was different from what it is on hostelbookers. walked up and down the street where it was supposed to be many times before realizing the name could be different and tried my luck. The staff didnt speak english and we kinda communicated by hand signals. Was really tired from all the rushing but explored around abit before turning in to sleep.

Songs of Norway

BEETHOVEN. ODE TO JOY

“When the audience applauded.. the public received the musical hero with the utmost respect and sympathy, listened to his wonderful, gigantic creations with the most absorbed attention and broke out in jubilant applause, often during sections, and repeatedly at the end of them. The whole audience acclaimed him through standing ovations five times; there were handkerchiefs in the air, hats, raised hands, so that Beethoven, who could not hear the applause, could at least see the ovation gestures. The theatre house had never seen such enthusiasm in applause.”

Amazing.
