That day, I spent wandering around the local mall in clothes provided to me by the hotel (see above photo) that were not so glamorous to say the least lol but it was that or stinky 24-hour airplane clothes, beggars can't be choosers. While I wandered round the mall, I felt like a spy making sure I didn't spot my mum or any of her friends incase they would mention a sighting...after single handedly helping the Singaporean economy and a few outfits/makeup/necessities later I was back at the hotel. Still wondering about my suitcase, I was calling and contacting as many numbers as I could my hands on - to no avail. So, as any 21st century millennial would, I took to social media to solve my problems. I DM'd (as you say) United on Twitter to see if they could help me. After a very prompt response (probably because they're on thin ice lol) I was informed that my bag was in fact IN SINGAPORE and has been since 7am (when my flight landed) 🙄 so all along, my bag had infact made it on my tight connection and had I not assumed it hadn't made it, I would have been able to take it straight for the airport. So, with a few hours to spare before surprising my mum, I ubered back to the airport and picked up my "not so lost" case and ubered back to the hotel. After I'd put myself together a bit after the case catastrophe I got myself yet another Uber and made my way to quayside where my mum and dad were waiting (unbeknownst to my mum) for me. I appeared around the back of their table and my mum did a double take, followed by a "what the f*** are you doing here???" And waterworks...LOL..the surprise went brilliantly and she was thrilled that I was there. We spent the night drinking with friends who were equally surprised I had showed up..
Never did I think I would be back in Singapore so soon when I left only a month ago. The surprise was planned only days before leaving, so it was a nice surprise for all of us really. Glad I was able to spend a few more days in this wonderful place before my family leaves for good in June. The rest of the week was spent relaxing and seeing friends, eating food and spending money - my 3 specialties LOL. It all felt like a dream as soon as I arrived back to the US, such a short (yet sweet) trip.
