The Branded Backpacker: Day 2, She Has Touched Down

Hey! I'm back! I have flown for 27 hours. I have eaten the most synthetic food of all. I almost vomitted. And I survived.

For the first 12 hours I have flown to Houston to connect to Los Angeles, California! It was body-numbing freezing! I couldn't feel my fingers or my toes! But I loved it. I met my cousins and drove to Milpitas to visit my aunt and her children. And we also drove to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco! It was amazing! The cold. The spirits. And the wonderful architecture of buildings that lined up across the streets--just like New York, but not as busy.

And the remaining hours of my dreadful flight(s), brought me to Narita Airport in Japan. In which Japanese items in the duty free store were snapped up before you can even say, " That's so cheap!" Like a 4 gigabite SONY USB only costs $20! Can you believe that? Then I had to part away from the cheap goodies and took my most dreadful but most worthy flight: my flight to my homeland, Singapore.

I missed the food. I finally meet my sister. The atmosphere of the people around me. That ring of our "singlish" accent lingering in our words. Yes, I'd say to myself before I would faint from my state of oggling, this is what I've been waiting for.

Now I'm going to go out in my Mango graphic shirt and black leggings from ZARA. Its hard not to wear black durng Christmas...maybe I'll find my red Aeropostale top in my luggage....

Merry Christmas! I'll blog soon! bye!
