The Last Day Of 2009

On the flight home, I didn't want anything on the menu and requested for them to do a bowl of fishball noodles in soup for me. They did it nicely with kway teow and fresh vegetables. That soup stock was rather well done, I must say. Chicken stock was used, but hey, at least they didn't use instant seasoning. The dish was light on the salt. And they gave me sliced red chillies. Yummmz. Honestly, this is the one dish I think that's the best on their 'gourmet' menu. :p

There were plenty of empty seats in the plane. So I toddled down the aisle, plonked myself into one and stared out into the sky. There were stars in the black sky. I really like staring at them. On the ground, I don't get a chance to stare out into the night sky. I suppose we could have a picnic out in the open at night in the wilderness somewhere. But then, I'd need toilets at some point and be paranoid about bugs. Heh. Mid-air, there aren't these sort of distractions. Looking out into nothingness but twinkling stars is comforting somehow.

Of course as we entered into Asia, the stars receded. Dawn was breaking. So that lovely sunrise with all its brilliant colors was quite a visual feast too. Swirling clouds, magical jewel hues span the horizon as far as the cabin window allowed. Breathtaking.

I can't help but feel refreshed and inspired for the new year. It's another decade. If only I can hold on to this good feeling for a long while yet.

Oh and to you lovely people, have a wonderful 2010.
