SINGAPORE

JANUARY 2012
How's everything going at home?  I hope Grandma gets well soon.  Please read this for Grandma, Neil. We really miss everyone back home. It was so nice to of been home for a month. We got back safe and sound after uneventful flights. First week back went by quickly. Walked for exercise until I bought a new bike. Biked 25KM once that 1st week. Rod and WATI from Bali came to visit, so we showed them Chinatown, all the cool buildings and the East Coast Park.  It was really nice hosting someone in our humble abode. Every morning, we have bagels and tofu or eggs. Nice way to start the day with a taste of home. Then for lunch, I limit myself to one helping of the meat dish, at dinner, I have tofu or fish soup, while Carol has pork soup. When not biking 50KM, we watch Friends, How I Met Your Mother and 2 and a Half Men.  I also look for new and cool APPS for the Apple stuff. For Chinese New Year, we have two days off next week, which I am going to use to write another paper.  We'll also eat Chinese food and play Chinese games at school and with friends at their condo. School is good, as we go to bed at 9PM, so we have a better mood there. I watch YouTube TV shows from the 1990s at lunch. As soon as Granda has a phone, please send us the #, as we are very worried about her. Love Mike

FROM MOM
Hi Michael, Sounds like you're doing well with your diet and exercise!  We miss you guys too!  I didn't know your grandmother was unwell.  What's the matter with her?  Nothing too serious, I hope. Did you get results for the paper you wrote while here? Everything is going well here in Vermont.  We go to the gym every second day or when we can.  Life's good. Talk soon. Love, Mom

Hi Sharon,   I heard from dad that you are going to kick cancer's ass again.  Well, I just want to tell you to beat it into submission, strangle it and then laugh at it when it's down.   By the way, do you want some Chinese herbal medicine for this?  I know some good doctors over here, who say that it doesn't effect chemo.  Ask your doctor; asking won't hurt. Cheers....

JFK

TRAVELS FROM NORTH AMERICA BACK TO SINGAPORE We got to the Burlington airport bright and early.  The security was confused about the Epsom Salts I had in my carry on (it was too heavy for my checked baggage, as I had to take ten pounds out, or pay 50$).   They scanned it 4 times, did a drug and bomb search on it, along with my Kindle and toothbrush, LOL.  I eventually got them through. When I checked in at JFK, Emirates  gave me a window seat, so I changed the JFK-DUBAI portion to an aisle seat, but they could not help me with the Dubai-Spore portion. The people sitting next to me are going to be annoyed with a huge guy taking up 1 and a 1/2 seats, LOL.  I had reserved them in the aisle in Sept., but looks like I got bumped, again, as did Carol.  Next time, cheapie Charlie airlines, all the way!! I was able to use my Korean Air Skymiles on the flight, which is good, because they never expire.  I checked my bag at JFK...

CEBU PART 1

We finally made it to Oslob, Cebu, Philippines. After an excellent trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia to see Brian, Mylene, Jacob, Allysia, and Matt, I flew to Toronto on WestJet to meet Carol for our Philippines Airline flight to Manila.  She took the train from Montreal, after spending time with Erin, Glenn, Norah, Leah, Jim (Dad) and Diane. The flight was uneventful, but at least they had movies.  I got stuck in a middle seat again.  Not great for the old back, but I think it was worse for the lady sitting next me to me in the aisle, as I woke her up or asked her to get by at least seven or eight times, LOL. After getting to the domestic airport at Manila, my pillow went missing.  The cleaners and security helped us look for it. One security guard found it.  We thought it had been stolen, but it was under a chair... Our flight from Manila to Cebu was upgraded to Premium Economy, so we got more food & drinks, as well as priority to get off the plane first....
