21Mar09 Back in Sing!
Booyeah! iam back and ive managed to upload some pics onto the blog like ATLAST! anyway heres more and these pics are from the return sector. The night we got back to Korea we had a great meal at this BBQ place right in front of Hilton! after which i joined a few of the senior crew
for a few drinks at the crew hangout place till 2 in the morning before finding my way back to
bed.
The following day Liling Niza and I went to the "3sister" joint for Lunch. The reason why its called the 3 sister joint is cause it being taken care of my 3 sisters and all of them are not married. The variety of food here is kinda limited but it sure taste good to me.
The boss of the store we call em Mr.Luggage Tag is a really nice guy! we caught him off guard while he was reading the Bible and going along with his job. I got 2 name tags done and after a little chat he found out that we were crew with SIA and gave us another tag free of charge! How nice of him =)
And so the day kinda ended as we chilled out at Dunkin Donuts with out hot "kao kao" hahaha wonder why its called kaokao... well which made us miss the bus by 1min! hey girls its not my fault alright?! blame it on the bus uncle!

16th Mar 09 in SFO (pics uploaded!)

Its distracting to be blogging while theres a great documentary about David(the guy that killed Goliath in the Bible) going on right now on the History channel. Argh well i dont really have a choice since ive already paid for the Internet services guess its time to multitask.

So as planned i got up early this faithful morning and the first thing i did was to get online just to keep in touch with my friends and loved one as SG is -9hrs behind San Francisco. By 1100Hrs i was down by the lobby of the hotel linking up with 3 of my colleagues Kaegen, LiLing and Niza. Our destination: Lunch @ the Fisherman's Wharf and YES whats the point in visiting that such a lovely place without trying out its all time famous Clam Chowder!oh that includes a lill tour round the Pier which offers interesting sights and sounds.


Hardrock Cafe

The tomato base Clam Chowder and Fish and Chips! It tastes SOOOoo Good!


Wheres me pot o Gold?

We didnt manage to get the tickets to visit Alcatraz

Sea lions. Somehow they are just interesting to watch esp when they all pile up to one side of the floating platform and when it about to sink they all start rushing to the middle to balance the platform... yea they ve got brains

LiLing and Niza =)
We visited the Boudin Sourdough! its a wonderful place that sells lotsa stuf but they are most famous for?

Bread! yes and now iam the croc hunter YeeHAaa~

LOok at the amount of mouthwatering crabs!

and THIS! with shrimps
and THIS!!! all peeled ready in lill cups

After which we made our way back to the shopping area around Union Square. From there each of us went our ways to seek out the items marked on our shopping list - No rest for the wicked! Shopping alones nothing new in fact i welcome the fact that ive got all the time in the world to do whatever i want BUT the only down sides overspending /grin! well come on i could not resist the fact that the entire areas like a shopping heaven and i think the amount ive spent so fars nothing compared to my other colleagues.
Walking the entire pier was tiring indeed and so we found a place to drop dead for awhile
Now LOOK cause your eyes are not playing tricks on ya! its a mice on a cat on a dog and they walk infact its a Mobile balancing act! such an adorable performance. Infact this was the 1 and only fella i gave alms to cause this is really an amazing feat.

Surprise guest!? HAha yes its none other than my buddy Zann! aka KuKuBird! i caught up with her @ Forever21 with a friend of hers. More plans were made to shop and the final destination before retiring back was to pay a visit to the Cheesecake Factory! we had loads of fun chatting over dinner bout life so far, work etc! so Zann ill hold you to ur words on changing flight! dont you back out =)
Hi!
Um..

Zann found the female version of the jacket i had from H&M! somehow i think we are doing too many stupid stuff just to make up for lost time bud.
taking a shot as the cablecar when by. So loving rite? hahaha
Another must try when you are in SFO! The Cheesecake Factory offers a wide variety of food and of course the name says it all Cheese cakes!
and boy was the view from the top breath taking!
ok not THIS view! hahaha Buddy sometimes i think you are really a KuKuBird!
I had Kahlua Mocha Choco Cheesecake
Zanns friend... darn i cant remember her name.. i think its
And so thats the end of out lill outing. Soon it time to head back! somehow i regret not getting more stuff from VS and A&F... oh bummer anyway thanks Zann, i had a great time!
its all in a days work. Iam gonna be heading over to Korea tomorrow so hang round for more updates! seeya later

San Francisco - plans anyone?

Am currently blogging from Parc55Hotel in SFO and its 2350Hrs here (9hrs diff from Sing) somehow i overslept, missed out the "planned dinner" with some of my colleagues and by the time i had dinner it was already 2230Hrs... reason being it took the IT guys an hour to get me hooked up to the net and 1h30mins+ for my adapter to arrive to the room PFFFff... /pissed off! oh and they say that its not safe to head out after 2300Hrs hmm i wonder how true that is i took a walk down and the streets seemed a lill quiet, apart from that everything else seems normal.

Anyway iam planning for tomorrow. Yes and ive got a few places in mind that iam pretty sure ill be heading to eg. The Goldengate, The Maritime museus, Fishermans Wharf etc... and ill have to go pick some goodies up for family and friends too! k then so iam gonna stop here and start drafting out "the plan" and ill leave you with this lovely song.



Good night.

Brisbane 030309

Reached the hotel @ about 0900Hrs (GMT+10) strangely we had to change 2 buses before we crawled our way through the morning traffic which felt totally like a mad rush! Thank God the hotel had the rooms prepared unlike my previous JoBurg trip... anyway i surrendered whatever was left of my rapidly diminishing state of alertness to the warm and comfortable bed after a long long long shower... slowly i sink into a deep slumber...

Then the phone rang!

0145Hrs and it was a call from my colleague and a few sms-es that somehow didnt seem to awake me from sleep, time to head out for lunch. Guess what?! the colleague that called me earlier dozed off! ARGH we left without him. The good thing bout Hilton Brisbane is that its located in the middle of the shopping street hence food and shopping was not an issue. eat - walk - eat -walk

Time to sit down for a lill chat, food and some BEER!

New kinda Aussie beer "Fat Yak" Aus8.20 coming from a beer drinker this is good, DARN GOOD!

Apple Pie + Icecream

Mudcake!~ talk about loosing weight huh?

Its interesting talking to colleagues whom have freshly tied the knot. One can learn alot from such conversations. Well it was not all serious talk, we crapped alill along the way too especially bout how the times have changed, which kinda affects our current working environment in the aviation industry. Then a idea presented itself *new plans for the future*. Ok its gonna take 2 years so... patience

We got back to the hotel @ 2045Hrs. Was time to head back to our rooms for some rest, not for me that is i went for a swim till 2200Hrs and it feels good having the entire pool to yourself!

taking a dip in the heated pool and looking up into the dark sky, take a deep breath... closing your eyes somehow you feel like you have escaped the urban jungle thats around you. Apart from the sound of the the water ripples and the crickets its just you and you against the world. Sometimes it pays to be alone in such a situation: quiet time, self reflection, relaxation... Peace.
