Now we're on our way home :) Chicago at this time of the year is way too cold though it shouldn't be. They say it is January weather in March but you know what? I've got good news. Was not expecting it but it sure came as a surprise, a very pleasant one. Ari spilled it over breakfast one morning that dinner that day was already taken care of. I thought he was going to buy us dinner. It was Sham and me who bought dinner instead, and we were totally happy to do that :)
The thing about shopping for gifts for family is that it is way easier, and faster. When you buy for yourself, you tend to deliberate if you really need that stuff, whether the one at home can still be used for a couple more years, if you really like it that much that you must have it, or if the thing is really value-for-money, then you walk away, and walk back, and then step aside beside concluding that you can still live a while more without the thing. I've bought so much this time, it's unimaginable. Even got a Samsonite so I could squeeze in everything :) and the luggage Angela lent me was already packed up to the weight limit. Got a Tag for Miin, a bag and a purse for Annie, lots and lots of clothes for the kids, and shoes, tees and polos for myself. I think I could have momentarily forgotten that these are afterall money. But why not?! I've got some left and I think I just got promoted :)
The conference was good, the visits were better. The group met twice and the discussions were very candid and fruitful. But we can talk about all that when we get back to the office. And I finally caught "Skyfall".
Going home always feels fantastic. I love you, Singapore.
