for a few days now, the european skies had been darkened by the plumes of volcanic ashed from an iceland erupting volcano. and many flights to/from europe were cancelled. but changi airport terminal 3 did not appear anything as reported in the last two days, where many passengers were stranded in the airport, due to flights being cancelled, and no hotel room in singapore due to full-occupancy during the food festival.
he boarded the 4.20pm direct flight to LA. it was going to be a long journey, 14 hours, non-stop.
he watched 'sherlock holmes', 'the truant king' by steven chou, the a docu of sci-fi on time travel....
and he had no sleep at all; the pressurised cabin raised his blood pressure, and kept out the releasing of the sleeping hormone though it was his usual time to sleep. also he was going to face the music.... in a far-away land. the thot of attending those meetings, talking to some stranger(not in acquaintance, but in working relation) about your work raised the anxiety level many notches up.
hold your horse there - the man sitting beside him said. don't worry, just do whatever you deem fit and things will fall in nicely. just like me, i'm supposed to be in europe for a very important business meeting. but because of the volcanic ash thing, i just change my plan and headed back home. i'm from south dakota.... and though i may stand to loose a business, so what? there's always something coming along that's better than what you miss out.
oh.... if everybody has the freedom to choose what he likes, without due consideration of the consequence of his choice, then why do we need somebody to tell us everything is going to be alright?
