An Easter Sunday @ the Transit Lounge

April 16, 2006

I was cleared at the Immigration Office before 6am, and was patiently waiting for the boarding call. The boarding time is 7.40am, so I waited at the Transit Lounge.

 

 

Nope. That's not me. It's just another person waiting to get called in. I wanted to take the picture of the sign above, but I was too far. Plus, my handy-dandy camera won't be able to handle that.

What struck me is this scenario. I wasn't able to take a good pic, so bear with me.

I call this a picture of love.  Sitting not too far from this couple, I could see the warmth and tenderness aged with their bodies. They said whiskey grew finer with age. I see love at its roughest form, but with its purest essence in tact - makes me wanna sing Adam Sandler's song in The Wedding Singer. I wanna Grow old with you.

[Billy Idol (speaking):]
Good afternoon, everyone.  We're flying at 26,000 feet,
moving up to thirty thousand feet, and then we've got
clear skies all the way to Las Vegas, and right now we're bringing
you some in-flight entertainment.  One of our first-class passengers
has written a song inspired by one of our coach passengers,
and since we let our first-class passengers do pretty much
whatever they want, here he is.

[Robbie Hart (singing):]
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your athritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Yup…me too…I like "Growing Old With You."
With the prevalence of broken families, and failed marriages, this pic is a refreshing treat. Nice mischarmed :-)

Thanks, u guys. I didn't expect to see it live, coming from a skeptic like me. The pic wasn't take well, coz I wanted to capture the moment asap, without asking permission (i'm bad, i know). But well, it's sweet.
