Stay Overnight at Changi Airport in Sigapore Last Night

This is a novel experience for me to stay overnight in an airport. My JetStar flight arrived at Singapore at 11:05 p.m., but my China airline to Beijing will depart at 9:30 a.m. next day. Fortunately, the Changi Airport is convenient and comfortable so that I sat in front of a LCD-screen TV set to watch the super long Starwar series movies in the Star Movie Channel Movie Lounge.

Two unpleasant experiences happened in my journey.
First is the strict implementation of 20kg weight limit of baggage. The original weight of my baggage is 24kg, so I adjust and repack my baggage to fit JetStar's requirement. It was troublesome!

Second is the Zhangyi airport levied the tax of my two cartons of cigarettes brought in Taipei airport. It cost me 4 Singapore dollars! I am unhappy to pay this unexpected and extra fee.

One day in NTU Library

Sitting at the library of NTU, I feel everything is so familiar and enjoyable, reminding each piece of my memory studying here. I used to dream to use my own laptop in this library, however, in my entire university time, I didn’t own one. Today, and now, I am using my newly brought laptop here to type my blog’s content.

Recently, the newspaper and TV news keep reporting the soaring price of food, oil, transportation fees, etc. I do notice that everything becomes more expensive than my past impression. Eating my lunch at the buffet inside the Student Activity Center, I perceive students mostly only spent fewer than 60 NTD to buy a lunch, only having not much amount of food to eat, at least for me. I hope that I am just thinking too much. If not, then it shows sad implications for Taiwanese students, or Taiwan.
