Good Luck, Bad Luck, Good Luck, Bad Luck ...

Well I'm stuck in in transit in LAX & I have to say it's a pretty crap airport!! For such a big place there's really not very much to do or eat.
So here's the summary of my up & down day :

Unlucky : Flight from Chicago arrived here at 2.30pm, flight to Singapore leaves at 11.30pm. That's a looooong time in transit!
Unluckier : Flight is delayed to 1.30am!!!! Now that's 11 hours in transit!!!!
Lucky : Nice man at the SIA counter moves me to an earlier 8pm flight.
Unlucky : Says I can't get into the SIA Lounge as I don't have Gold membership :(
Unluckier : Treck to another terminal in an attempt to get into the Admiral Lounge (whichi you can pay to get into) - no luck, need an AA boarding pass
Luckier : After eating a greasy Maccas burger, wander up to SIA Lounge anyway to try my luck. Nice nice ladies at the counter decided that since I have Silver memebership then that's close enough! Probably took pity on someonw who's spending about 48 hours travelling .... WOO HOO for pity!

Chow Baby

Well, it's less than 24 hours until I start plane hopping my way back to Australia!
Good timing too it seems - today I awoke to a thin layer of snow covering everything, *brrrrr*
Looking forward to feeling that dry Aussie heat when I touch down :D

But it's gonna be a loooong gruelling process - a short 4 hour flight to LA, followed by 7 hours in transit! Then the big one - 20 hours from LA to Singapore. If that doesn't make your ass numb I don't know what will ...
Then 12 hours to wander the streets of Singapore & eat as many delicacies as possible before the final Singapore to Adelaide leg of the flight!

*phew* so if it takes me s few weeks to recover from my jet lag don't be too surprised!
See y'all soon!

Determination

Remember those inspirational posters that have a picture of the sunset, with some meaningful word like "Courage" underneath it & some deep explanation of what this word means?

Well here's mine :

 

Determination is when you have plans to go outlet shopping, and it starts snowing. The temperature reaches -7 degrees & snow flakes get stuck in your hair, but you persist for 6 hours in an outdoor mall, with your giant GAP & BCBG bags flapping at your side. Dang. 

#1 Fan

My first ice hockey game!!!! Chicago Blackhawks vs Phoenix Coyotes @ United Center.
So I finally got to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams - to own a bigass foam finger.
Ok, so I set pretty low goals .... but I'm sure CH will agree, the hours of amusement I had was worth the $7.
e.g. doing the ol "The toilets are that way" (point with big finger) ... classic ...

 


And I like to think with the help of their #1 fan, the Blackhawks triumphed by scoring in overtime *GO BLACKHAWKS!!* 

Desperate Housewife ... ?

Oh no, not again. It happened during Uni and it's happening again ....
"My name is Su-Yin, and I'm addicted to 'The Bold And The Beautiful'."

This is my dirty little secret. I know CH's gonna read this & have a go at me when he get's home. But really, what's he gonna do about it?? He's at work all day, I gotta keep myself amused somehow ...
Everyday, I try to make sure I'm at home at 12.30 to tune in. The other day I went out & ended up zooming back & running up the stairs coz the day's episode had already started.

The funny thing is that since I was addicted to it during Uni, very little has changed. The same characters are still there, they just have a few extra kids from shagging various people (& when I say various I mean various). And now the kids have grown up (magically, without their parents ageing) & are proceeding to follow in the culture of shagging various people & getting pregnant.
