SF SF here I come

YES!!! Finally arrived in SF. posting is a day late as we were too zonked out last night to do any blogging.

Flight was interesting, we transit at HKIA and planned to purchase their famous roasted goose to eat on the next leg of the ride... unfortunately, we were delayed and the next plane was waiting for us!!! We almost had to run through the security checks and into the boarding area... *SIGH* no roasted goose. Maybe we can try again on the way back home heh.....

While waiting at the boarding area, we could not find our boarding pass!!!! We thought we'll have to turn around... ha ha ha... but no lah, the staff were very understanding, since its such a small piece of paper, its very easy to lose it. So we got it replaced with a handwritten pass! so cool!

The leg from HK to SF was terribly long.... yes, even for a small frame gal like me, I can put both my legs up on the seat and curl up like a kitten to sleep but it was too cold for me to sleep comfortably. Got to wear MORE clothes in the return flight for sure! My nose was doing fine in the begining, as the night approaches, the effects of the nasal-clearning drug (Cirrus) that I took in the morning wear off and my nose starting leaking like a tap. I couldnt decide which was more painful, the chill or the leaky nose...

Food was nicer on this leg of the trip, somehow... the glutinous rice was actually YUMMY! and its a huge portion! (sorry din take any pictures) it even came with a packet of chilli! heh... they know how we feel as singaporeans.... and both the meals came with ice-cream! heh... another incentive for being "good" on the plane? The ride felt like an eternity...... there were even times that I woke up! (usually I sleep like a log, through the many meals served....) I was feeling hungry and cold, I wanted hot hot soupy noodles hee.... which the stewardess was very kind to prepare for me. However, she told me that the two flavours were seafood and vegetarian and ended up giving me a tomyam! strange, but i'm not complaining as it was definitely far better than any of the earlier options hee....

Another cool thing we did was to bring our nalgene bottles on the plane, I asked the stewardess to fill it up with piping hot water and wala, I have a hot bottle to hug to keep warm and also drink continuously to relieve the chill that causes my nose to leak and as a consequence, I'm awake! I felt much better! no more leaky nose! yeah! I could happily settle in to watch another movie out of a list of over 50.

We finally touched down in SF airport at around 815pm local SF time, we quickly left the plane and headed out towards the custom clearance, thankfully, it was EMPTY when we arrive hee.... so we get to check out quickly. Had to scan both my index fingers and take a picture without my specs.... interesting. I was told by Ad that they do this each time you enter USA. Why dun they keep a database of our looks and prints?

tired liao.... 12am local time.... will blog more tomorrow when I attend the keynote... heh..... YES. I'll get to see uncle Steve live for the first time. Get awed by his speeches LIVE!
