Another long hours of waiting to go home...and I can't wait to be back home. 40 hours and I only slept for less than 10 hours. I miss my bed...oh my bed, my pillow, my blanket, and my baby pillow. NO...my baby pillow is not those smelly, full of saliva, kind of pillow. My baby pillow is new.... Anyway, not writing this to talk about my pillow. For the past 3 weeks, traveling half the globe, experiencing new things, it's AWESOME!! Although, I would say I don't see much there, at least it's something I won't forget. I will definitely going to the States again but of course not anytime soon. It may be 10 years later or more, or maybe near. The Flight 8 changes of flight to and fro. 40 plus hours of total flight . What do you think? The Weather When I first reach LA, I was like...oh no...why is this place so cold. I was shivering all the way from International terminal to another terminal where I have to wait for my other flight. Before we head to U...

...and it's very soon. After 2 and a half weeks of staying in the States, when I finally able to enjoy more at San Jose, I have to go home. Too soon, but the whole journey was incredibly relaxing for me. At least I got to run away from the hustle rustle of my job. Although it will be a long break soon, at least now I'm not working. Too much problem occur and it's someone I don't want to handle right now. I'm too stress and my gray hair are countless right now. Anyway, the weather here is nice with a bit of icy wind piercing through my skin. But it's very nice. Next time I travel long distance, I want to experience snow though I can't imagine how I will survive. My lips chipped, skin too dry, and I'm in a mess. I can't wait to go home too. Can't wait to meet baby Yi Xuan and her brother (lil brat) Kai Xuan. But on my job.......

Here I am at Denver, Seattle airport on my transit to San Jose and my flight is delayed! It's 8.10pm. It's already late to reach there and I have to be delayed again. Of my whole tripped here, this is the first time I'm being delayed after a few flights and transits. I have waited 10-12 hours of waiting, and going to have another 13 hours of waiting for each transit flights. Most people will definitely feel it's tiring. Well, it's not for me but it's definitely boring. Slept in airport terminal over-day and overnight, it's one good experience. The world is not that scary after all. I can go on backpacking (if I have the cash flow) ;) Austin temperature: 29 degree C Denver temperature: 20 degree C San Jose temperature: 14 degree C !!! Ok. I'm going to experience some cold shock when I arrive San Jose later. When I was in LA on the first night I reach USA, the temperature was 13 degree C! I was not prepared for it and I only had a T shirt, a sweater...

When I was in my transit to LA from Bangkok, I met a guy from Afghanistan. Well, we talked we asked bout where we are from then he said he knew a few friends from Malaysia as well. He said his friends were nice, Malaysians are very nice. Then I said: 'So you think Malaysians are friendly?' 'Ya, how did you know?' 'Well, because I have heard people talking about it.' But how come me, as a Malaysian did not feel the same? I think I know why. Let me tell you. Did you notice that whenever we queue up at any counter to pay out items (food, groceries, anything) have we ever hear the cashier said 'Hello, how are you?'. We could hardly get any smile too. What happened to the 'SMILE WHEN YOU SERVE' campaign gone? It was just a momentary thing. Nowadays I always see sour face around. Well, I wouldn't say EVERY cashier is like that, some are, I appreciated them, friendly and with courtesy to serve. But how many do we actually see this? I wa...

I have found this article in www.yahoo.com.sg and it seems a little funny on how un-gracious WE Malaysians are. Why are we not educated in that way instead of being selfish and being ... corrupted? SINGAPORE : Singaporeans may be more conscious of the need to clear their plates at hawker centres but are still not showing enough courtesy on the roads, according to a graciousness survey conducted earlier this year by the Singapore Kindness Movement. Some 1,000 people were polled in the survey which is into its second year. The respondents, who are mostly locals, were asked if Singaporeans are gracious in six areas “ including behaviour on public transport, at work and while driving. There was an improvement in about half of these behavioural traits and a drop in the other half, compared to the results last year. One particular area of improvement is the clearing of plates and trays after meals. According to the Kindness Movement, more people seem to be doing so — from 7 ...

At 8.30pm on 27 March, lights went out from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas as people from across the world joined together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common - our planet. Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, the Las Vegas Strip, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Beijing's Forbidden City were among more than 1500 iconic landmarks that switched off to show their support. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of action for Earth Hour 2010, making it the world's largest ever global climate change initiative. We want to thank you for contributing to this historic achievement. If you missed any of the action from the night then go to earthhour.org to check out the inspiring photos and videos.
