San Francisco & Chicago: The Journey Begins

This will be my first posting of a trip without Yen on this blog :-(



3.40am: I'm sure 17 hours from kul to sin to nrt to sfo ain't that long. At least it ain't the longest haul I've taken this far. Transit hour is different, of course. I had early doubts if I could survive my seven-hour transit at Changi for my 7.15am flight to Tokyo. Not anymore. A seven-hour wait shortens miraculously when you spend an hour blogging and the next 5 sec hitting the wrong key deleting the blog entry. There can't be any other more effective way in killing spare time. You bet.

12.30am: It was a good thing that Ian and Chunnie came by to take me out for coffee at East Coast. That took at least two hours off the wait when I first thought the wait will be too long to stand. This was of course before I decided to blog (and re-wrote the same blog an hour later).

2.35am: Here I am, blogging happily at the Pacific 'The Perfect Cup' Coffee Company before I made that not-so-perfect mistake erasing my blog entry.


3.35am: Chee Choy came online. We will be doing a wine tasting road trip through the California wine country around Napa valley when I arrive. Sounds like the movie Sideways, of course, minus the fact that we are not two middle-aged guys! (No, contrary to what you think... I'm not THAT old)

3.51am: made multiple copies of this blog in notepad in case I erase it again! Gotta go check in. I shall blog again when transiting at Tokyo.
