Mummy spring into shopping action but got herself (as per normal) into trouble...she bought a Vase made of limestone which needed to be cargoed back. She thought she did her homework about bringing bulky things home. Everyone that she asked assured her that cargo is the way to go.....so when she fell in love with the knee high vase she did not waste any time and added it to her shopping bag......Guess what, mummy did not know that the cost of the cargo was OH MY GOD! kind of price range. She and daddy first had to scout around for a cargo company and when she found them...she also found out that they dont just charge according to no. of items or its weight but by the cubic box and the smallest cubic box was going to cost them from USD 340 - to - USD200 plus and this is only to singapore port. Once it reaches Singapore, its gonna cost them some more.. So the next 1 and half day, they went lookin for the cargo company and finally settle for the usd 200. Now that the luggage bag is empty she decided to make it worthwhile and got some more light weight stuff. Most of them are delicate so she packs them into the hand carry luggage bag. At the airport her hand carried luggage bag was not allowed in coz the fella thinks it looks big! So in the bag goes and when it reaches Singapore,the lock was picked and mummy favourite item was gone!
