Did You Just Take a Bath, Mam?

Well, this story was based on an “incident” in Changi airport. Yap, Changi, the airport of Singapore. We actually transferred in this airport from Jakarta before continuing to Taiwan. Well, we didn’t use G**ud* airways but T*ge* airways because the latter enabled us to travel around Singapore for a whole day. Yap, the transfer time was 22 hours :D

So anyway, we arrived at Changi at 9 a.m and we directly left the airport after leaving our baggage in left baggage. We traveled around Singapore by MRT and on foot. We visited several places, such as Singapore Art Museum, Merlion Park, War Memorial Hall, Little India, Chinese Town (where we found a mosque and took a nap for about one hour :D), and Sentosa Island including universal studio (Okay, I admit that we only passed by it. We didn’t have enough money and time to go inside). Shortly saying, we got back the airport at 10 p.m when we felt very very starving. We then directly went to the airport’s KFC and ordered two sets of meals for each one of us :D Well, we finally felt too full and couldn’t eat all of them (Lesson1: don’t be too greedy!).

After eating, we went to the Left Baggage to take our baggage. We then hunted for a spot to spend the rest of the night (red: to sleep). We finally found a hallway close to female toilet and it was precisely in the corner of it. After that, we washed ourselves in the toilet and went down to the information desk to take several pieces of Singapore maps. Do you wonder why we took the map while we finished traveling around Singapore? Do you have the same thought as we did? Yap! The maps were to replace the function of mat! Hahahahaha..

Shortly speaking again, we directly fell asleep after taking prayer.I wore jacket, socks, gloves, and hair-cover. But it was so cold that what Iwore wasn’t enough to warm up my body. I woke up every one hour! The first wake up was when I tried to find my mukena and used it as blanket. In the second wake up, I even could feel myself shivering and I tried to look for my sa*ec*ar* and applied it to from toe to neck to warm me up. The next wake up was when I felt cold because my “blanket” was here and there :D

Finally at 3 a.m., I decided to wake up and to take a bath. Well,there had to be bathroom for shower there, but I couldn’t find it. So, I just went directly to a toilet with no shower but this “fake “ shower (I don’t know what it’s called! It’s like small shower used when taking pee?) I used that for taking a bath! Hahahahaha.. Well, it was ridiculous, I know. After taking trouble by taking a bath with such thing, I went back to the hallway where Atin was waiting for me. After that, this is when the title of this story happened.An office-girl came to me and asked “Excuse me, when is your flight, mam?”
Me “this morning, at 7.”
Her “Did you just take a bath?”
Me “Yes I did. Why?” (innocent though fully aware that I was wrong)
Her “You cannot. You should ask.”
Me (thinking: whom to ask?There was nobody1 it was 3 a.m. for God’s sake) “well, sorry.” (showing regretful face)
Her “You see, the toilet is so bad now. You cannot take a bath there.”
Me “Well sorry, I didn’t know that we cannot take a bath there.There was no writing which says ‘Dont take a bath’ so I took a bath. I’m sorry”(well,, lie lie. I completely knew that we should not take a bath there, but there was no written prohibition, so hahahaha)
Her “Next time you cannot.”
Me “Alright, sorry ok?”

Hahahaahahahahaha !! Well, FYI, at the previous night when we came to the hallway, we saw this office girl crying. We didn’t know why, we didn’t ask (for what??)We speculated though: maybe she was scolded by her boss or maybe she was broken-hearted?? God knows.
