24 December 2016
Home sweet home! Stingy cat wanted to take free transport to Sapporo Station. Bought "Train to New Chitose Airport" tickets at 4.07pm then deposit Hubby at donut cafe while I go last burst shopping.
I meet hubby at 3.30pm to set off to the train station. To our horror... train out of service... I panic, checking one way ticket back to Singapore which cost $1K each at least if to fly on 25 December 2016. What we can do is to wait. Finally. .. I saw the screen saw "Train to New Chitose Airport" is back to service... me on ALERT MODE!!! Call out Hubby & grab our heavy luggage to "Cheong" up to the platform, so 😥😣😰. I drag the luggage up with all my monkey 🙈 strength but so difficult. Finally, I give up & look for hubby help with the luggage.  He helped me to drag the luggage up then I wait. Silly us, should have find a escalator for easy transport up our luggage. At last, we r at the platform then we find a good space so that we can squeeze ourself n luggage up the JR train. Yup... we definitely squeeze up & we r OTW to airport.  When we reached airport... another horror... the Q is super super long & the proceed is so detail that took so so long. We r almost almost late for the flight. Murphy law... hubby lost his flight ticket while OTW to board the plane at the last last minute. He traced back the route we took to the boarding gate but cannot find. My heart is like racing so so fast & eyes popping out looking for him & the flight attendant to ask her wait for us. However,  hubby can't find it 😢.  We asked the flight attendant & she can reprint for US!!! WTF... haha 😂. OUR SUFFERING DID NOT END HERE!!! We waited for at least an hr before we took off to Tokyo airport to catch our connecting flight.

25 December 2016
Yes, we reach Tokyo airport then got 1 airport staff specially waited for the 8 of us to bring us to our connecting flight. Poor hubby, leg so so pain pain & still need to walk & even run for our flight. Luckily, we manage to be on time & even have 15mins really last last burst of fire before we board the plan to home sweet home. Heng ah!!! We saved $3K, so I am going to grab something in Singapore.

My hand so aching post dragging the luggage & leg so aching post "Cheong-ing". LOL 😂 😂 😂

REACHED AT 7AM in the morning. Merry Christmas 🎄,  best Christmas 🎄 🎁 gift for 2016. We are totally shag.

Changed bedsheets,  fast fast mop mop a bit then be pig.

In conclusion... thank you hubby for the full sponsorship to Hokkaido, I enjoyed very much myself. Looking forward to our next Hokkaido trip.

Hi December 2016

Hi December 2016, nice to meet u, r u in the rush to end December & anxiously looking forward to meet January 2017? 

U r asking how about me??? 

I am not really sure!!! Time seems to tick tock so quickly everyday, I doesn't seems to be able to gasp it well. Another 9days to go before I go on my last annual leave slot for year 2016. Meaning I am flying to Hokkaido for 8D 6N soon. I am indeed excited but also with mixed feeling. I am of course worried about my mom, whether my helper can handle my mom a not during this period of time and my that good for nothing brother if he will help to take care of his problems & my mom anot. 

Wondering how to deal or understand human to human relationships. I wonder why my friendships all like so weak structures. Shipwreck is so common for me even though is don't have much ship investment. I do not have capital, time, love & skills to prevent the ship from wrecking. Some things are unpreventable. I will have to accept it gradually. Sometimes, I do not know the reasons or real reasons on why my shipwreck. 

I have to learn to be happy alone. 

Not everyone is destined to be happy with companies or the other way round. Till I figure it out one day. I will continue to learn. 

Now I am sleepy n I need to sleep. Update another day
