seriously lah, I think we have lost the edge, the fighting
spirit ....
even from the last time i was back, the impression was very bad ...
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before .... check in counter
girl made a mistake ... didn't check through one of my check-in
luggage to my final destination ... when i hight-lighted it out,
she tried to fob me off by saying that I was over the limit, I can
check in during my stop-over, I can only hand carry this etc .... I
was running late and didn't felt like arguing, so i had to check
through the piece of luggage at vancouver myself ... the
immigration official were blatantly rude to a bunch of maids
returning home, but waved me through ... that left a pretty sour
taste in my mouth ...
and the free and easy shops and the cafes ... in hong kong, in
korea, the sales staff give you no peace ... they'll offer help
before you have to ask for them ... airport staff were all
universally friendly ... in Singapore, you see them lounging on
coffee breaks, chatting to one another at the counters ..... it
didn't felt like Singapore ... 
habis liao lah like that ....
