The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Hmm now that wasn't so bad after all. Thirteen-odd hours of flying and a transit later, I'm still able to punch these out on Singapore Airline's new Krisworld handset's tiny buttons. In case you're wondering, I'm using Sun's adaptation of OpenOffice, StarOffice Writer to type this entry in offline mode. A nice 10-inch LCD, USB and ethernet ports, composite video in, personal white reading light under the LCD...man! In-flight entertainment has really come of age.

Oops, had to pause for a bit as the B777-300ER taxied off the runway, towards our final destination, Barcelona. As we pulled above the cloud layer, light broke. Bluish hues of the pre-dawn sky rapidly gave way to a fiery ball of flames that rose leisurely, casting an orange sheen upon the sea of clouds.

Scenes like these that remind me of my love for the beauty of nature. The past 6 months of work amidst the Singaporean concrete jungle have left me drained at times. Sure, the Lion City's way greener than most of its peers. Still, one doesn't feel that he's truly surrounded by Nature.

Hmmm I think I'm long overdue for a holiday :-). Suggestions anyone?
