: : Asia Weblog Awards 2003 : :

It’s amazing how much publicity is generated from this award. I remembered only 2 nominees for Best Malaysian Awards and that was just a day ago. Hmm…wonder if it was because I left a link at Jeff’s posting? Ah well.

Between Wednesday afternoon (the time I posted the comment to Jeff’s page) to about 24 hours later (flight travels), there have been a lot more nominees including this blog. Blog followers try to show their appreciation by nominating the blog. Although, some people (scroll down to 9 December 2003) have gone to the extreme end of the line (via ruach). Lighten up! No big deal lah.

How I feel about it? Nothing much. The reason I’m blogging was for :

1)My sis and Mum to sort of have a glance at Malaysian food again

2)For Lolly to have some ideas on what to cook next :p

3)For fun and that’s the reason that this blog is up.

And hey, if everyone enjoys reading about food, then I’m glad. Everyone needs something good to look at. (I can hear a few people disagreeing with me on this as food pictures are temptations! Ha!)

Anyway, Mum is arriving in another two more hours and hopefully, can persuade her to take us out for dinner. 🙂

Toodles people! (Now doesn’t that greeting make you cringe? Haha!) Off to rest for awhile. The flu bug that had been hovering for weeks and weeks has now finally decided to crash me in. Urgh. Not feeling too good at the moment but since I’m here, I’m going OUT!

: : Denton, Texas : :

After journeying for 24 hours on the air and waiting 8 hours for layovers, have finally reached Denton, Texas. A very groggy Wena got through Dallas Fort Worth airport to see her sister waiting for her at the baggage claim area. A sight for sore eyes. Can you imagine that we have not seen each other in approximately 3-4 yrs? Long long time. Anyway, it was hugs and kisses at the airport with Wena groaning about the cold and wind.

Dinner was at a Mexican Restaurant called On the Border. It was amazing and we had two dishes. Couldn’t finish them so we took them back to eat. I was so cold that I was eating the leftovers late at night and in the early hours of the morning.

Pictures will be up either later today or tomorrow. Need to get a socket adaptor else the docking station will not work without the download. So, gotta wait for another day for the pictures to come up!

Ciao people!

: : Newark Airport ~ Part II : :

I actually type a whole bunch of stuff to be posted and it just went poof into midair! Choi!

Everyone is so friendly here. Unless, it’s another reason, say, maybe :

Wena looks so lost and forlorn after a 24 hour trip around the world. Urgh!

Wena looks too young to be travelling alone

Wena looks too darn innocent

Wena looks like an interesting person. Hmmm… long story that.

At the moment, the massage bar looks very interesting. Seriously considering to solve my aches and pains. Seriously in bad pain from the long flight from KL to Dubai to Newark. Thinking of sitting in another 3 hr flight to Dallas scares me. Oh well.

Anyway, I’m off people! Ciao! See ya all in Dallas!

: : Newark Airport Terminal A : :

Right people, am now at Newark International Airport. Am waiting for the American Airlines connecting flight to Dallas. So, after breakfast and chit chat with Mum and sis, am now waiting for 2 hrs to pass by. And guess what I saw? Free internet surfing courtesy of SONY and Intel.

So, am now using the SONY TR2A Series Notebook with the Intel Centrino chip. First time I saw this laptop, I fell in love with it. So light and cute. 🙂 Very very portable. Would love to try out the Motion Eye VideoCam but can’t get into Messenger via this laptop. Portal doesn’t permit me to do so. Oh well.

Still, the connection is not TOO bad. Bit slow according to the man in charge. Something about having to share the connection with the airports T1 line. Still, it beats the JARING Dialup Connections any day.

Can’t believe the number of people walking by and just not wanting to check out these gadgets. Then again, everyone I see are from the older generation. No one young yet. Maybe the only exhibition is here.

Soon, will be flying off to Dallas and to see my sis! Gawd, I hope the food stuff survives the trip. The bag didn’t quite survive. Urgh!
