So i just got home not more then 3 hrs ago. i feel very strange....kinda like i never left - or just left for a short period of time. met my good friend mai-li in the vancouver airport during my layover - it was really nice to see her, she's pregnant and i dont remember teh last time i saw her so we had a great visit. couldnt stop chatting! ive named her baby marshmellow ( i love that name right now i dont know why)
flight from vancouver to edmonton was really short - didnt hit me right away that i was going home and i think im still in that bubble. just have been uploading pictures since i got home. i'll go to bed soon i think. im not too tired so maybe i'll go for a drive! CRAZY!!! i havnt driven in 5.5 months! woah.
i was kinda disapointed when certain friends who said they would come to the airport didnt show up. or maybe they didnt say they would but implied it....but i was extremely happy to see courtney - my true love.
anyway hope to see some of you soon!

*sigh* north america
So i made it! YAY 17hrs flying from SIN to LAX and then a VERY long wait through customs and then shuttle to my shady hotel, overnight and now here i am, back at LAX. I am spending $5 on 20 min of internet time here...woah culture shock!
only had to pay $34USD for changes with air canada, im still sendng a letter to singapore air. even though i got to fly in a fancy new plane.
I do believe that my arrival is on schedule - that may change in vancouver but i am on flight AC246 from vancoouver to edmonton - arriving in at 9:30pm i think. hope to see some of you there!
much love

AANNGGRRYY
So, singapore air is officially my least favorite and most hated airline ever. i just spent the last hour and a half bawling my eyes out while the people working there tried to figure out how to get me to LA tonight. WTF! i dont understand....okay so when you call and confirm a flight and the person on the other end of the phone says 'yep its confirmed' does that actually mean its not confirmed? Someone messed up BIG TIME and i am having to pay for it. Yep $343 singapore dollars clocked in on my credit card. And who really knows whats going to happen tomorrow when i get to the air canada desk to try and check in.
I wish i could explain but its all so complicated, the important part is that i am getting into LA tonight, but tomorrow is another story. and singapore air will be getting a very strongly worded letter from yours truely shortly after i get home. i demand refund AND something special for the amount of stress i am in right now.

not sick....anymore?
hmm you know the good thing about getting sick in asia is...you arnt sick for very long. i felt like the biggest pile of poop 2 days ago and now here i am as healthy as a horse again. strange. so, if you ever have a choice - come to asia to get a cold.
anyway, im on my last 24hrs in thailand. pretty sad. but i couldnt sleep last night because i am so excited to get home. today is a beautiful clear day so im gonna lie in the sun and maybe wander around and get some photos and, i dunno we'll see where else the day takes me.
3 days ago i went into a travel agency to see if they would reconfirm my flights for me. and the ladyboy behind the counter (named ann) said she would do it for 200 baht. ann was wearing a very short skirt and had not yet mastered the art of keeping your legs crossed or closely together while wearing a skirt. needless to say, ann flashed me her junk a few times. i tried not to stare. but my flights are confirmed! which means im coming home - see you wednesday!
