Finally, the big day has arrived!!! After months of planning and waiting, the racoons are finally flying to Korea!!! We were supposed to travel to Taiwan, but nonetheless, someone initiated somewhere cold, and the rest is history. Apparently, our dear Aaron could only take his precious leave during this period, hence the travel period between the festive season, But hey, it isnt bad after all, how many of us get to fly on a New Year's Eve? haha..well, off off we go......
Leong, Aaron and Raymond met up with each other earlier at T1 for dinner. As usual, Aaron and Raymond was late, arriving at the meeting point 1915H, 15 min after the meeting time. After much consideration, the three decided on having dinner at Burger King, which is located in T2. Meanwhile, Jay decided to go budget and take a public bus all the way to the airport. Gosh, it was an interesting experience, our buses are defintely not equipped to store luggages, thus it was rather troublesome, and the worse of all, an unpredictable traffic. Very soon, he met with two accidents in a row. Yes, of all days, of all nights, two separate accidents occur around Tampines causing a bottleneck jam along the roads. This is defintely not the first time Jay has met with such unfortunate mishaps along the way to airport.
Back to the main scene, the three took the skytrain back to T1 to meet up with the rest of the gang. While alighting from the skytrain, Raymond(aka Resident Slut), rolled his extremely bulky luggage(12.6 kg as shown on the scale) over a lady's toes, which unfortunately for her, wasn't well protected by her footwear. Raymond aka Ra, commented on the incident:" too bad...who ask her to show off her bright pink pedicure." It was simply bad luck for the poor lad as the mass of the luggage on the small area of the toe will cause a few blood vessels in the toe area to have a tinge of blue-black, in contrast to the lovely pink pedicure.
The gang gathered at row8, Changi T1 and met up with our tour leader, Christopher Chin(aka David). We don't remember him introducing himself, and he seem to have the "you-should-know-my-name" look etched on his face. No criticisms here, but perhaps he seemed to rush to care about such minor introductory with the group. As expected, Eugene was the last to arrive. We were all wondering when is he coming coz all our cash is with him. No cash = no shopping = no fun. As it was still early after the luggage was check in, the group decided to start their photo-taking frenzy immediately in Singapore...

Photo taking
Still taking photo...(yes, why is it that the christmas tree is forever there since 1990s? its time to get a revamp Changi!)
1st group photo, T1, Changi Airport 
chatting...chatting..chatting
still wasting time...Actually there are lots of shopping to be done in Changi transit area, we should be fortunate that we got such a world-class airport with 1st class amenities in the transiting zones. Ra, as usual, made his way to the Harris bookstore and purchased 8-days magazine. It was like his weekly pill-popping regime. No idea why he bought that when you cant watch Mediacorp TV for the coming weeks.
Soon, it was time for money distribution at a secluded area.... large amounts of Korean Won was distributed... Come to think of it, it seems like we are distributing the loot from a bank robbery from a passerby's perspective as we were laughing all the way. Ra blurb out a comment, "Oh, where do we keep the cash?" His comments startled everyone. Meanwhile, the "last-call" was announced for our new-year's day flight.
A hilarious time in money Distribution...
