First time I transited via Singapore was in 2005. My first trip abroad ever. I was with my work colleagues on our way to Indonesia. I was in Singapore but was just in the airport. Same thing this time.
Arriving at the airport and a bit disoriented. All around me are Indian Nationals or Indian-Nationals-looking-people... And at first I thought I landed in a different country. Man, they are all around. Weird, I say. Haha...
Took my backpack and went to the departure, again. Yeah, I have to do it because I shared my free kilos left to a Chinese guy I've met at the Airport in Saigon. He was already trying to wear on his waist at least 4 jackets just to keep his luggage to the maximum weight. It wasn't a hassle anyways so I did my "good deed" for the day.
There I went to the departure, sat down at what seems to be a small cafeteria and ordered my coffee. I paid in USD thinking that the "$" sign they have meant USD. I was using different currencies for 2 months and the "$" that register to me are just the USDs. But, hell, it's the airport so they accept it. My change was just in Singaporean $ - which I can use later on.
Everything went slow so I went to my observing mode. Went around a bit with my twin backpacks and finally got tired so I just settled on one corner and wait for my flight to be called.
I think I should have taken the different connecting flight and explored Singapore a bit. Singapore will have its time. Let's board now and land in Malaysia.
