Refreshing Lemon …..
Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Calling for passengers flying Thai airways flight 867 to Bangkok; please board to gate 5 for departure” the familiar speaker sound at the airport gave me a jolt back to reality from my deep sleep at the lounge. After the 2 hours delay, I was not only jet lagged but feeling sticky and warm due to the humid air. A glass of fresh yellow lemonade on the table next to me reminded me of my precious belonging stuffed in my bag. I checked my watch; I still had a good half an hour to departure. Rushing to the nearest restroom, I found an empty spot and dumped my bag there, splashing my face with the cooling water. I took out my “Fusion Travel Art of Shaving Kit ” and started my “mini spa”. With the Lemon zest, I was refreshed in no time. Hair gelled back, my face became sparkling clean and I smelled like I just immersed myself in lemongrass tea. I walked confidently towards the boarding room and the aircraft, catching the teething smiles I was getting on my way. C45 was my seat number and I was happy to see a beautiful woman with dark glasses and red lips seated next to me. “Whew… Thank God I had my travel kit with me!” I smiled and gave her my hand!
