taking a break

Thots from the past few weeks...

12 September 2007

I had the pleasure of having 3 seats all to myself while watching the plane's wing flex during take off. this is something that I have not experienced before in a sense as I have always sat on the wing or before it.... it was a sight to behold as the lift it creates to be able to fly is mind boggling... Had a cloudless flight and when I looked down over Australia, it was all brown and more brown with the occasional dot of green and bit of water... No wonder it is a desert right though the middle...

Off to Hong Kong... stuck in a plane full of mostly business men traveling there on the first flight out of Singapore... Got there and was hit by the air pollution that is a permanent fixture... Did not manage to eat much due to the heat but got to drink lots of mango with aloe jelly drinks... Moon cakes in all sorts of shapes and sizes abound... there was one with 9 egg yolks too! Shopping was an adventure....

Been busy watching the Rugby world cup and assignments... have not been eating much local food as it is too hot to eat and the mere thot of having to go out is enough to make me wilt... but have made it to the pen shop and went goo goo gah gah at some new editions... saw an ink that is bullet proof! It is the mid autumn festival today and I don't like moon cakes... but found one with custard and egg yolk inside which is good next to ice cream ones of course! So thats about all that has happened... Martha has received her present but is resisting the urge to open it till her birthday...
