left behind bags

I called up the airport to get news about my bags. They were left behind in Chicago. As what I guessed, didn’t get tagged on although they were supposed to be. Anyway, they are on flight UA895 and on the way home. I’m not sure which one but I hope it’s the one that’s landed already at 11+pm so I…

good to be home

I’m home now. But the worst thing happened. I don’t know where my checked-in luggage ended up. It was supposed to be tagged on to each flight so I wouldn’t have to recheck-in and would just pick them up in Singapore. The airport staff was nice though. She helped me make a report and well, we’ll just have to wait.…

the academic bit

Almost 3 weeks in the States. Not that I don’t have internet connection but I have been rather lazy to blog. Haha…there are just too many things to do. Daytime, aunty wants to take me around to schools and stuff. So most of the time I’m left with night time. Of which, I’m trying to divide my time to use the…

still alive

Using the computer in the student lounge in the university. Man Ling and I are waiting for a friend so we can go for lunch together. It feels great to have a fellow Singaporean to talk to. I think I am her company in this foreign land. Hahaha…I make it sound like we’re stuck in some hellhole. No, we’re fine.…

i am alive

Yes, I’m alive and well in the States. My uncle has kindly lent me one of their many laptops to work on, check my email etc. The laptops must be really cheap here coz no way is someone going to have at least 5 laptops around their house back in Singapore. Even getting 2 desktops is going to make your…

soon leaving again

Have this nagging feeling that I won’t have time to blog about my Japan trip. I’m left with tomorrow only. After which, I’ll be leaving for the States. Away for one month. Gawd, I feel like I’m floating around again. Disoriented. Things are moving too fast and I’m just too slow.
