One torturous thing about having a 5 hour lay-over at the Singapore International Airport when your plane lands at 3 am is that there’s not a whole lot to do but stare at the beautiful boxes of Johnny Walker Blue at the only duty free store open in the joint.
I’m halfway through it so far, and though I made one move to my wallet, my better judgment intervened and I sat right back down. The life of a wandering zombie isn’t as exciting as it sounds; the highlight here at Singapore so far has been listening to Ricky Gervais’ podcast while sitting behind a screaming family of Indonesians. Man, I wish I were into John Grisham again like I was back in 7th grade.
Whenever I take these international trips, I’m always very careful to make sure my laptop is fully charged so that when I’m on layovers like these, I can whip it out and be productive and do some work. Oddly enough, the journeys always end with the laptop fully charged, as I just can’t bring myself to do anything other than space out and eat Toblerones.
The original plan was for me to actually get out of the airport and see Jenny in her element; alas, she’s elusive as ever and will not be in town, which means it’s just me and my unrequited love for a very blue Johnny Walker.
