Sigh... flight woes...

Flying to the US is certainly not my favourite thing to do... I am now stuck in LAX waiting to see if I get onto a flight to Singapore - not the direct one but one that will stop in Taipei and then SG. If I don't get this flight, I'll have to wait for the next one which goes through Narita. Argh! I am so tired. It all started with a little rain at the Dallas Fort Worth airport. They delayed the flight for an hour and before you know it, they decided to cancel it. I had to get out of the waiting area and back to the ticketing counter to find a flight for myself.

After some negotiation, they got me on another flight with 1 hour and 20 minutes to go before my connecting flight. Unfortunately, It was DELAYED again when I boarded the plane. Due to so many cancelled flights, people were on standby left, right and centre. All the flights leaving DFW was full full full... I arrived too late in LAX to get onto my scheduled connecting flight.
So here I am... Complaining and full of self-pity....

Introducing Hanley...

Here's a little teacup maltese. He is 4 years old and weighs 3 pounds. He is extremely well behaved and that is why he gets taken out everywhere! He gets taken out on walks - where he doesn't walk but gets carried around in his little pet pocket. He also goes to all the good restaurants and gets all the attention from the waiters as well as all the other patrons of the restaurant.


I miss having a dog... Well, correction... I miss having a dog that would actually miss me! I doubt my doggie Jacob back home actually realises I am not around. Ah well... I'll just have to go around spoiling other people's dogs!

How sharp your teeth looks...

Oooo... Nav, Sukey, Jenny and I went to Nobu in Dallas for dinner to celebrate my birthday. The food was extremely good that we ended up taking pictures of only the food and no pictures of people at all! We had this snapper dish where they fillet the fish and deep fry it and seasoned it with some black bean chilli sauce. Mmm... it was quite Chinese-y but so yum. It was their special for the day and we managed to get the last one!
I think a bowl of steamed rice would have gone well with this dish. I am still salivating everytime I think about this...
