Packing almost done. I have to gather the things I want to put in my backpack, my toothbrush, the book I intend to read on the plane and of course my camera + lenses + flash.
When I’m there, I want to take an afternoon off fro fulfilling family obligations and spend the time roaming around the streets taking pictures. Of course, as Mad-eye Moody said before, “Constant vigilance!”
Years spent in total security in this country has lessened my alertness on the streets – for example, when I was visiting Cairo, my carelessness almost cost me $200 worth of papyrus painting. (They found it after we had left Cairo and had it shipped over for us. Bless them!)
Anyway, now I’m going to count down the hours before I get to board the plane. Assuming the plane is on time because my dear father’s plane was supposed to depart yesterday 14 Dec 2009 at 2.30 p.m. but it eventually left Changi Airport at 2.30 a.m. on 15 Dec 2009. That’s right. A full 12 hours delay which just re-defines ridiculousness on a whole new level.
To end this post, I’m going to leave you with this picture (the video on YouTube has sadly been removed thanks to a copyright claim by NBC):
I LOVE THIS TAYLOR LAUTNER KID.
