Touched down in Dhaka half past twelve SG time, or half past ten Dhaka time. A Beximco employee with my name on a placard caught me as I was walking through the aerobridge out of the plane, still within the restricted section! Amazing. key takeaway: flying into a foreign country, get a seat as far forward as possible so as to clear customs first.
Anyway, I got directed to a special queue for diplomats, officials and foreign investors that had a lot fewer people and was able to clear the line pretty fast. In total, from touch down to the hotel took me around1.5 hours!
The room isn't as good as Lakeshore Hotel's room though. Had to stay late to finish something's before knocking off, bed was big as usual for a hotel room. What's in store for my first full day? I've no idea yet haha!

Goodwood Park Hotel
Another wedding post.. Haha!
Meihui is my TJC classmate, whom together with Minqing were my Erjie n Dajie respectively, in reverse order of age haha. I still vaguely remember chatting on IRC with the two of them, arguing on who should be the "da ge" or "da jie".. So long ago!
Anyway, our paths diverged in uni; I had visited them once or twice in the NTU halls while they were staying in, and more or less lost contact when I started SMU. Lo and behold, we ended up in the same firm, though they were in tax and I was in audit.
To cut a long story short, Dajie got married after me, and Erjie was next this year. So happy for both of them, to also have found their life partner!
Here's to a long life together, and family of kids to grow old with!
