Beginning of a 4 and a half month journey...

I got a blogging burnout after my previous post. Now that I have finally recovered (or have nothing better to do), I shall make a couple of posts to update!

One month passed quickly after I came back from Frankfurt, and after another hustle and bustle period of settling admin and stuff, I was finally ready (more or less) to head off to New Orleans for my exchange.

But before that, I must thank the people who took time of to send me off, bless me with umm... blessings, and also reminded me of my own birthday.

The NUS Bi team and Tri 21 for the farewell dinner at vivo, plus the horsing around after that. The KPC Kias for the prayers and the birthday cum send off dinner at Bugis.
The poeple from Soon Watt for the "blessings", well wishes, teachings, and all great companionship.
Auntie Michelle and Leo for helping me with getting to the airport, then back home, and back to the airport again for the most frantic checking in process ever.

Flew from singapore to tokyo which was quite ok. Watched 2 shows along the way. Then the flight from narita to minneapolis was a disaster. NO PERSONAL TV!!! and the shows were baddd! slept most of the way for the 12 hour flight. It was insane i tell u.

Spent 17 hours at minneapolis by going to the Mall America. Fantastic mall. There was an amusement park with roller coasters and all inside, plus a huge ass amount of shops. we went around the whole mall before finally heading back to the airport. Our flight was 6 plus the next morning so we just sat at the Mac's and used our laptops while I finished a book.

Two short domestic flights later we were finally in New Orleans! Home for the next 4 and a half months!
