and I'm spent.

Going home tonight.

Singapore has been great!
But I’m ready to come home now.
I’m sick of the clothes I brought.
I beyond need a hair cut.
I am out of orbit gum (and they don’t sell gum here because it’s illegal to chew it in public).
I crave Eatzis.
I am sick of the music on my ipod.
I miss my super comfortable mattress (even the beds at the Ritz are hard).
I miss talking on the phone for under $2/minute.
Miss my frieeeeeends!

Don’t get me wrong.
It has been a great trip.
Wonderful actually.

I completed my Singapore bucket list this week.
I will do a final post either tonight or tomorrow in Tokyo with a few more pictures.
The quick overview is:
1. Celebrated St. Patty's Day at Dirty Nelly's Irish Pub, down the street from the Ritz
2. Checked out Holland Village and enjoyed a mojito at Wala Wala
3. Enjoyed dinner at a German Beer Bar
4. Had the team gala farewell at the Esplanade last night

Checked out of the Ritz this morning and I must say, the service there is impeccable. They practically make you feel like a celebrity. I'm not sure how my client negotiatied the rate that I got, but it was an awesome deal complete with complementary breakfast buffet every day (I will miss my egg-white omlette man).

Dreading the flight tonight.
Still on wait-list for b-class.
hopefully I have enough drugs to get me through.
one of my (new) client friends that flew home last Monday took 6 valium on his fight back. lol.
Here's my itinerary:
leave Singapore at 11:20pm enroute to Narita
Arrive in Tokyo around 7am... layover for 5 hours
Noon Saturday - flight from Tokyo to Dallas
arrive Dallas around 9:30am Saturday (gain 14 hrs)
blah.
blah.
Luckily I just downloaded the whole first season of Lipstick Jungle, the latest GG episode, and 2 episodes from a UK drama series
Need prayers that I get upgraded!


stay tuned for pictures lata!
