Arriving in San Francisco

Because it was a stupefying question to me before I left as to what a person would do on a 17-hour flight from KL to SF, here's sharing what I actually did:

1. Browse in-flight sales magazine.

2. Pore through in-flight entertainment magazine. Which on SIA I must say, the entertainment is pretty darn good (see below). There were at least 8 movies i ticked to be watched / get excited about.

3. Flipped a couple random unmemorable magazines..gourmet food etc etc.

4. Movies!

The Land of Women - which is a terrible name for a really good movie. Love Adam Brody. And Meg Ryan.

Pretty Woman - not sure if the whole hooker makes good thing is still so condoned, but still, she had spunk and it was a good movie.

Black Snake Moan - if Justin Timberlake had 10 more minutes, the whole movie would be ruined. Boy's acting is okay, but eclipsed by the likes of Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson.

5. Buy guilinggao at HK airport - had it confiscated before boarding..very annoyed.

6. Nap. Can you believe how lucky I was? On all legs the seat next to me was empty, so there was room, well some room to stretch out and sleep. VERY thankful for small stature.

7. Eat. If you ever get the Indian menu option, opt for it. The mango chutney is amazing.

And...4 airports, 2 airport transfers, 1 train ride later, here I am in the very lovely apartment of the very lovely JYoong and Ziggy, having crepes and thinking about how the weather is somewhat like autumn in Sydney. Only of course, this is summer.

Pinch me - I still don't quite believe I'm here.
