At a visit to my grandmother, I saw a little picture of myself. I took a photo of it with my macro lens.

Self portrait

It’s a self portrait… sort off.

For so many times, I hated to fly over Heathrow. But now, with all BA flights arriving and departing from Terminal 5, I actually enjoy making a transfer on Heathrow. Especially if I can enjoy some time in the British Airways lounge. They have the best food I’ve eaten in any of the lounges where I’ve been.

The Chicken Tike Marsala is just amazing, which made me come back for more twice today.

And the traditional English Sandwiches are perfect if you would like another bite after the rice with chicken.

Awesomeness, I just bought a brand new pair of Nike’s Air force 1 Blue 2010 last week. On my trip to Europe, these plastic coated sneakers can come in handy when it’s still snowing in Amsterdam, Zurich and London. My three destinations for the coming week, in no particular order :)

The Nike Air force 1 are smooth, and trendy. It will definitely raise some eye browse. Which is almost expected from Dennis’ shoes now days.

Flying with strong winds

I’m about to fly out from San Francisco International Airport, SFO, where there is currently a strong wind and heavy rain. Sometimes it makes me a little nervous, especially with the take off.

Wind comes from SSE, which means the planes will take off with the wind in the back.  Winds at 48km/h, gusting to 58km/h.

On my way to SFO, a large tree fell over the 280 South bound, which made an ugly traffic jam for the people going south. Lucky me I had no delays.

Update: after rain comes the sunshine. Just one hour later, the sky is clearing, sun pops through the clouds and rain has stopped.

After the rain, comes the sunshine - SFO feb 26 2010

Too bad the crew arrived late at SFO because of the weather and traffic. Now so much for the planning of coming early!
