“I can’t wait to see my Aunt, Mom!” I exclaimed as we reached the Singapore Changi Airport. My aunt Mary was coming to Singapore for a two-week holiday and she would be staying at our house. My whole family, Mother, Father, my brother, Time and I were all very excited as we waited for Aunt Mary to arrive.
“Look, Aunt Mary’s flight SQ123 from America has just landed! And… oh, we are supposed to wait at Arrival Hall 2, Belt 17!” Dad announced as we headed for Arrival Hall 2.
As we approached Belt 17 in Arrival Hall 2, my eyes fell upon something ridiculous – a middle-aged Malay snatching away an old woman’s handbag! ‘God, who would do such a thing in the Singapore Airport?
