On Birthday

[3:59 pm]


Today, I celebrate my 27th year on the Big Blue planet.

Looking back on the past 27 years, I can surmise that life has been good to me so far, sometimes with luck thrown in. I have a good career, good colleagues and many friends with whom I can count on.

Every year I have had numerous well-wishes from my friends, but I always yearn for this special SMS/email from S. But every year, I am left disappointed. But well, there is always a next year.

My wish for this year? As per every year; For her to complete me.

Back!!

[1:37 am]


Seems like this blog has been pretty neglected by me. Well, I must admit so because I was so caught up in my work for the past few weeks. And also, I was overseas for work for close to a week plus or so, and without the ability to tap free wireless networks, I was kind of free from the temptations of the cyberworld.

The working trip was pretty enjoyable and I managed to squeeze in some time to do some sight-seeing. So if you are in my facebook, you will be able to see the photos which I have uploaded. This country never ceases to amaze me, even though this is the second time I have visited them. I love this country for its resilence and pragmatic attitude, which I guess was born of their need for survival. And I will be back to visit them again, this time round for a longer duration..in fact, I should be going sight-seeing again, to the southern parts and this will end my coverage of the country.

As for the flight back, it was not so nice an experience. First of all, my flight to Germany was delayed for two hours due to the weather. This caused a domino effect which made me miss my connecting SQ flight back home. Man, was I upset about that. I was looking forward to the SQ flight after suffering a lack of in-flight entertainment on the Lufthansa flight.

In the end, the Lufthansa ground staff transferred us to another Singapore-bound flight, which was Lufthansa again..argh!!! Imagine I had to suffer 11 hours+ of no personal inflight entertainment programs. Damn. I have to suffer another setback when our plane touched down, minus our luggage. Seems like due to the haste of catching the connecting flight, they did not have time to off-load our bags from the plane.

So, we had to file for lost baggage and hope that they find our luggage, which eventually they did and sent it back to me the following day. I should have bought travel insurance which would had covered the cost, but I did not buy..so another big heart-ache..

But coming back is a good feeling. Now I can feast of my char kway teow, roti prata, local delights..
