Wantunn mee

I recently started reading Fables , a comic book series by Vertigo and I’m hooked.
This is what I would best describe as Shrek for adults.
I’ve reached volume 3 and so far, the basic storyline is that someone (the Adversary) has conquered all the lands of the Fables (from your favorite stories including little read riding hood, Cinderella etc etc.. you get the idea) causing them to flee into safer territory, i.e. our world or what they term the Mundy’s (short for mundane). So what is so interesting about this? Read on but be warned, spoilers ahead.

First I run out of disk space… then my (admittedly old) scanner breaks down on me. Sheesh.. it’s like someone is conspiring to make me spend extra this month.

Second visit in about 2 years.
I’m surprised I still recognised many of the landmarks and I could actually do a little bit of tour guide-ish type stuff

For a bunch of 6 guys, we sure did a lot of shopping (some would say too much) and not enough sightseeing. I guess we didn’t really have that much time to work with but hopefully everyone managed to get to do or buy whatever they wanted, be it shopping for bags (coach, timbuk2) or seeing the golden gate bridge (which really doesn’t look golden to me) to having a meal at some obscure fast food restaurant (never heard of Arby’s before this).

All I can say is thank goodness for the GPS and the excellent weather.

This is where we got off, cleared the security checks again and got back on the same plane on the same seat. All in the space of under 2 hours.

Cheesecake Factory, originally uploaded by wantunn.

Had lunch here the first day after touchdown. The cheesecake and carrot cake on the counter were about a foot high each. Couldn’t convince myself to order it.

I’m typing this out at 630 am in my hotel room in Sunnyvale . So far this trip has been pretty great and I must say the experience of business travel alone and in a group is a lot different.

Managed to meet tons of folks I’ve been speaking to over the last year and a half but never gotten a chance to meet and also catch up with folks I haven’t seen for 2 years.

Anyway, I got a pretty nice room this time around (probably due to the fact that the hotel was pretty fully full and there weren’t many choices).

The irony of course is that I’m in SF, earthquake central around here and I’m worry about famil back in SG being affected by the indonesia quake tremors.

Dun miss me ya
I should be back on the following Wednesday.
