holiday rodeo
Arrived back in Singapore early this morning, after some loooooooooooooong flights. 14 hours Houston to Tokyo, 8 hours Tokyo to Singapore. On the plus side my boss let me come in late today, so I could sleep in a bit.
Did get to watch a bunch of movies on the various flights to/from US:

In Manila, where I attended the wedding of one of Patricia's friends, and am spending time with her family. On Tuesday I fly to the US where I'll have Christmas in Denver with my family, then on to Texas for a friend's New Year's party. -

And Patricia got her hair cut. Takes about 40 minutes by ferry to get to Batam ( Read more... ) -
fake poll: fast food
Fake poll!
What are the best and worst fast food chains? Has to be something that is available in at least two US states or two countries, just so we don't get too obscure.
Best: Boloco (New England burrito chain)
Worst: Long John Silver's -
i've got nothing to say
I was tagged by slytherincesss. But before I start I feel I must comment. Why is it three things/people for everything. Except six names and four drinks? Who made that choice? Why is not three for everything? Or ascending/descending numbers. Or entirely random? But this completely without pattern but not quite random? It makes no sense ( Read more... )
