  • Ah, that network of SQTalk friends

    Well, look who came to dinner (on short notice)?



    I read the SMS the morning of his arrival. He was on his way to the SQT SIN 'Farewell to SKL F' Do (you can easily guess what happened to his luggage when it tried to keep up with him ), and fortunately, work didn't keep me away from my home city this week.

    There definitely are benefits to living in an SQT hub-city. I get the pleasure of unexpected visits from good friends.

                    It is so nice having friends around the world I can drop a note to and ask if they'll be available when I'm going to be in town! Sometimes those notes have a few weeks' notice, other times it may be a bit shorter notice. It's also nice being on the receiving end of those messages from friends (especially when my travel schedule has me home at the same time ). Or in July, when one of my friends (also on SQT) was going to be in NYC for a stopover and I was able to fly out to join them for lunch.

                      Indeed, the friends are diamond forever.
                      After the strike of midnight, SKL started to get emptier. Last flight to JNB was announced. And while talking with jhm about many different subjects (yes, we were not sleeping due to the UK time zone ), a surprise call came at 2am. An unknown number got through and replied "Who is this?" Got a call back, and they said, "Am I still awake and bored? If yes, we will pick you up outside at Door 1 in 30 minutes!"
                      Here you go. I had my nasi lemak and teh tarik at 330am.










                      Terima kasih.

                          After having a little sleep, around 730pm decided to go towards Conrad! Guess who were there by 10pm?
