what is the real meaning of "Airport"?

"Airport, juz wat does tis place really mean to u?"

to me, other than having my favourite mode of transport, Aeroplanes and my dream job, Pilots... Airport is a place FULL of Happiness, Excitement, Anticipation and Warmth.

go to the Departure Hall, u will see Anticipation and Warmth.

the Warmth is when u see many pple making their way to the airport to specially send their loved ones off. for example: the heart warming scene when we students came over to Aussie to study for the 1st time. din our family and frens went to the airport and bid us goodbye? wasn't tat scene heart warming with lots of best wishes and huggies? :D

Anticipation comes in when u noe tis time round of saying goodbye is not forever. u look forward to meeting the other party eventually. u bid goodbye to go on to another part of ur journey but after a while, u will still meet up with ur loved ones whom u once said goodbye to, rite? for me, when i say goodbye to my cousins today, i noe i will see them in 4 mths time. when i said goodbye to frens at the airport, i do look forward to the day when i will meet up with them again. no matter where we r, i juz noe we will meet up again. tat is the anticipation in my heart... & a fren once told me tis which i tink is rather meaningful. "A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again". (fren, rem tis quote? i hope u really meant by wat u said, k? dun juz say say only hor...)

upon reaching the arrival hall, u will see heaps of Excitement and Happiness!

the return of long awaiting loved ones from overseas... u will see tears of happiness and hug of blessedness. the level of excitement is not wat we can really imagine and the amt of happiness is beyond any words of description. dun tink someone is a frequent traveller and so he/she will not look forward to someone picking him/her up at the airport. juz imagine he/she is away from home for a few weeks or few mths. upon returning, who does he/she look forward to meet up with? it is the sense of "welcome back" tat make one feel most contented when he/she is being picked up by the loved ones. when tat really happens, excitement, happiness and surprises r all beyond wat we can describe with words...

so isn't airport a place full of miracle? it can create so many different emotions and it can bring abt so many different feelings.
