Well, today is my last full day here in Singapore. Tomorrow I fly back to Chennai for about a week and a few days. Today I ventured out to Sim Lim Square and the Bugis Junction. Both are pretty cool but there is this set of smaller shops all around Bencoolen Street which are more cool. There really is no electronic, computer, or other stuff I need but the internal geek in me drives me to Sim Lim each time I come here.
I’ve been thinking a lot of going home of late. I’ve been gone almost 6 months this year in travel mode. Living out of hotels, eating each meal out sounds romantic when you travel for more limited stays. I like the 2 week stays that I’ve done before. Traveling for months at a time takes things to another level. It’ll be good to do that last long flight in 10 days or so. I leave on 3 December for Singapore again and then fly out on 4 December for a few hour layover in Hong Kong and then that long trip back to SFO.
This trip has been good for me at a few levels; but I’m getting anxious to let it end gracefully. I think I need to get home. Thanks to the company for giving me what they do. I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped me through some rough personal times, ensured I had what I needed, and was supportive. I’ll post some thoughts later on all the great guys in Chennai I’ve had the privilege of working with.
I’m really hoping though that my old bud Bill S hears some good news beginning of next week. My thoughts are with ya Pine Man.
