The last leg of my trip has started. Weather here is friggin’ cold.
Anyhow, very nice to be able to watch the Countdown live for once ^^ Takki was so adorable. Wow towards the end of Ai Kakumei performance. 3CMs. I hope Tsu got more spotlight…
And I sure hope to see T&T together again soon!

Time to start my travelogue as I’ll be having some free time at home before my next mini trip hits!

I was going to label this trip “Thailand” then I realized that I would be all over the place and, in fact, I’d hardly be home at all ^^”
Around July time frame, my boss said yes when I asked him whether I could take 2 extra weeks on top of our Christmas break so I could go back home. I was bouncing to Pluto. A 4 week vacation, Santa loves me! ^^
At first, I had pretty much nothing on my agenda, except for going to T&T kuricon (which Avex slapped me down) and going home. Then, I talked to the gang (aka A-san, I-san and T-chan), my first trip emerged. Then, I talked to my aunt, the second trip popped up. Next, I talked to Ling and Kiwi, my third trip was in place. And the final THEN was some sort of announcement from Avex, which, hell yes, screwed all my further plans. Oh well. It’s not that hard to see where my priority lies. LOL
Plane tickets alone made my credit card wail for its life.
However, the most exciting thing was the fact that I wasn’t sure whether of not my flight would take off from Seattle at all! Political situation in Thailand wasn’t so stable during late November/early December. My brother who went to Thailand in November couldn’t come back to the US on his scheduled date and got stuck there for over a week because of the airport closure. Luckily, the airport finally opened, and United Airlines resumed all their flights a few days prior to my trip. *phews*

December 10-11, 2008
This year, I tried to start packing early, but ended up doing it til the last minute as always. xD
I still refused to pay UA an extra $100 to get a better seat, so I got stuck at row 33 on the first leg to NRT and row 54 to BKK. It didn’t really matter as I slept almost all the way through both flights anyway.
On the way to Japan, I sat next to one nice lady. She, her husband and her adopted daughter were heading to Korea for the first time to meet up with her daughter’s real parents. I think this rebonding thing is really nice. Her daughter, who’s probably in her 30s, seemed to be really excited. ^^
I didn’t have any time to walk around at Narita Airport at all as transit time was only 55 minutes, and I spent almost 45 minutes queuing at security check, ugh. I need to pee!!! XD
7 more hours of sleep and lovely (damn old) Boeing 747-400 was landed smoothly in Bangkok.
My aunt, uncle and little brother cousin picked me up from the airport. Yup, Ling’s favorite spot.. Suvarnabhumi Airport LOL
I unpacked for a bit then went to bed. Good thing I’d never had any problem sleeping, jetlag was never an issue when traveling to Asia!
Ah.. it’s good to be home! ^__^

just got back from Singapore last night. thanks to Mich, Kat, Ling and Kiwi, I had a really great time (eating, mostly LOL)
booboo to Bangkok traffic, I got carsick on the way from the airport back home -”-
half way through my vacation, 3 countries, 1500+ photos and counting, hardly home at all, my family here probably wants to kill me at some point, I’m basically using Bangkok as my hub ^^”
oops, A-san updated her blog about our trip to Lipe island, it’s a mutual understanding that I have to update mine too lol oops oops
got kinda lucky I’m in Thailand at this time. it’s pretty messy in Seattle right now, snow storm hit us hard this year, my brother and sister couldn’t go to work for over a week already.
one more country to go, and I definitely cannot wait for that one!
–
Just saw Ai Kakumei’s covers and I don’t really like them LOL
No, the girl doesn’t really bother me, though I tried to imagine her with pouty lips.. I need to find a photo of Tsu in that angle on jacket A.. hee..hee.. fingernails shouldn’t be that hard to remove huh? XD
Anyway, Tono is as gorgeous as usual, but it’s boring. Basically, they’re 3 covers of the same thing, just headshots in different colors -”- (btw, I like sepia color, but his gaze in B&W is really nice too)
I was expecting it to have at least one body shot on the cover. Being a pervert, I want a half nekkid shot, showing his yummy abs.. Come on Avex, hadaka cover will definitely boost the sales! *runs like hell*
Mixed feelings about that Home Party song.. yeah right, it sounds like fun, but why ‘guest appearance’? It’s his solo single for crying out loud, debut to be exact. Plus, if I want to hear any other voice along with Takki’s on a CD, it’d better be Tsu’s! -”-
With Love.. I thought Tono mentioned something about not releasing this song as he wanted fans to experience it during Enbujo? This worries me about the fate of Enbujo DVD too.
Well, guess I’ll just have to wait and see when I have these singles in my hands..
oh, one more thing, why can’t they just release it a week early so I can grab it when I’m in Japan?! gahhh~~ Paying ¥2600 for shipping is not fun yo!
