My title got meaning ones ok? As IA is wrapped up, my US GIP is drawing ever closer!! Ok, ok, many concerned friends from church, NTU, army/JC/secondary and the occasional pig & dog buddies has been quizzing about when is my departure to the States. Well, it is finally confirmed! I opted not to fly off on Boxing Day to Japan for a short trip (since it is a transit stopover for the flight) (some may say I stoopid not to enjoy first at Japan for a while, but remember that I'm on a shoestring budget), but chose to leave on the 30th Dec in the ungodly hours of the morning to catch a 6am flight. The ardous and hopefully not boring trip will consist of a flight to Tokyo (7 hrs), connecting one to Minneapolis (11hrs!!) and a domestic flight to Atlanta (2.5hrs). Phew! God protect me from the Economy Class syndrome disease (I dun wanna die bcos I dun have enuff leg space bcos I wanna save a few bucks and chose XXX airlines)!!
Note to all concerned:PLEASE respect my wish that I do not need anyone to send me off at the airport as I want to spend the precious time with my family. I sincerely appreciate all well wishes and prayers*. Thanks!!! *Monetary gifts in kind are also very much welcomed :p
I also went for an official sending-off ceremony at the Nanyang Executive Centre (which I did an article on for the Chronicle, remember?? How ironic!), it was machiam like the Doha Asian Games lidat, quite grand as we need to wear formal (except for an idiot who looked like he just woke up and came straight from Hall lidat)! NTU vice president gave a speech that only impressed the dust mites in the auditorium, followed by a student counsellor (not that JC type, a professional that helps u deal with problems one la). Scary how she presented the various psychological/emotional/physical stages we may face there. Finally, a doctor from the NTU clinic who touched on health matters. Her talk on medical check-ups, vaccinations, first aid, insurance were seriously quite redundant. Until her parting shot... "Remember to protect yourself amidst all the fun." was blurted out comically and the powerpoint slide was an obiang safe sex poster (neon lights of a motel flashing), which in my view, was glamourising one night stands!! I was thinking, how do nerds, geeks, country bumpkin virgins know how the hell to protect themselves with what; when that doctor did not, I repeat did NOT even mention contraceptives!! Haha... I dunno what my seniors at GaTech did, but the warning signs are on for sure.
Another great song in my catalogue of radio-rock vids! Superb lyrics from a used-to-be rockin' band!! With compliments from VJ Titanium...
