escorted

Salam all,

The start of my date with Irwan was totally horrible, but it was a greatest experience we ever had - being escort out of a Woodlands Checkpoint with CIA police by our side. How great!

We actually planned to have our lunch NEAR Woodlands Checkpoint, the coffee shops at the busy Sheng Shong place. I told him we can took a bus at Kranji, which took shorter route than taking the bus at Woodlands that we have taken before. I've went there once with my mum.

While waiting for bus at Kranji, this foreigner came and ask for Singapore dollar to top up his ez-link card as his only have ringgit and there was no money changer nearby. In the midst of that, the bus came and we quickly board the bus without noticing the bus number. We left the man at the bus stop.

The bus we took stops at Woodlands Checkpoint. That was when we realised we may have taken the wrong bus. We wanted to get out of the place, so that we could walked to the coffee shop nearby. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no exit expect for exit via Johor -_-

We asked the security officer there for the way out. He told us to check with Customer Service center. We asked the officer there for the exit, and she took our identification cards away. She told us to wait for while, saying that a police officer will escort us to the exit area.
Of course, we were very shocked. How great.. first, we took the wrong bus, unable to exit the place and now.. we were being escorted.

While waiting, that bulldog face of Irwan fired up. Argued that he shouldn't have agreed with me to take the bus from Kranji. And when we saw the man who we left at the bus stop, at the Checkpoint, Irwan started blaming him because if not because of the man, we could have notice the bus number. Alright, that's Irwan. Well, we argued while waiting. I told him not to make things worse by blaming other people, and it is just a bad luck for today.

But lucky for us, we are not the only one who took the wrong bus, there's another Chinese couple in the same situation. Phew! The police took us the a waiting room, i think he's entering our particulars... then only after 30mins, we finally manage to exit the building and have our IC back. For that 30minutes, we argued..only after we get out, his bulldog's face has started to fade away and he apologise for his reaction. Well, I expect that to happen - i mean he apologizing me only after problem have solved.

After a while, we joke about that incident. It's funny how we went through that process blaming each other when we are stuck in a security building. We threaten each other, that I will go home and he will go shopping for furniture himself. Haha.. In the end, we still continue our plan, makan at the coffeeshop, shop for his furniture, my bag and shoe. We have fun in the end.

One thing I am amuse our this relationship is that action is never louder than words. Even though in times of stress and trouble, we say to each other that we will not be there, this relationship cannot go on...bla bla bla.. in the end, our heart tells the opposite thing we've said. We will always hold on in times of bad no matter how bad we argued. That's what makes the relationship sweet and spicy.

Is not that I'm trying to boost about this. I just that to share that not all moments in relationship are as romantic and sweet as we all expected. We get hurt, disappointed and cry like mad. Most importantly that never leave a sucky situation with one party alone. Irwan does not leave me alone when we both told to wait to be escorted. We go through this together even though our words hurt one another.

I'm glad to have him by my side for the last 4 years.

Love,
Rohani
