In transit - from singapore

About 4 hours left for the final leg of the journey. The juniors went for one of those guided tours of singapore. i have had enough of them so i stayed back -the next time i see Singapore, i want it to be at my leisure instead of sitting in a bus listening to someone droning on.

My internal clock is now totally screwed up - i didn't sleep that well on the first leg - and now, i find myself drifting in and out of sleep, as if my body can't decide what it wants.

i am yawning away to glory and waiting for the bacche to come back. Then i will go shopping - buy some chocolates and mementoes - and find myself a corner to park myself with my book till i can dump this tired ol' body in the plane that will take me home.

i saw on the news that there has been a crash in Thailand. There was a phase of heavy turbulence when we flew from sfo. i am normally cool about this kind of stuff - hey, i have jumped off a plane, to brag again - but today, i was wondering how it would feel like to crash. And trust me, it is not a pleasant thought - i am not too scared of death but i would rather die in my sleep than have pieces of my mangled body scraped off from the wreckage. Like everyone tells me - shub shub bolo bey. But like i tell them - if whatever i say/want comes true, the world will have less people burdening it!

OK, they are back. i think it is about time i dragged myself and freshen up - i probably look like a dead sparrow but sparrows are so cute! Such inane thoughts.

From Hong Kong

2 and 1/2 hrs stop over in Hong Kong and we discovered that they have free wi-fi! Wowie to technology! So my first blog from Hong Kong...i am feeling half sleepy, my body is confused again - is it night or day? And my arms ache from dragging my too heavy strolley and the laptop. Next time, i swear i will travel light.

We were the last passengers to board at SFO. We literally ran to catch the flight! It was fun. More about that later.

It will be time to board again. Oh well, if the plane does not crash or get hijacked, i will blog from Singapore.
