i wish we could..
i wish my back can handle such a long haul journey..
anyway, you'll be envying mousy who will be coming over in Feb
as we stuff her full of local delicacies like crab, giant shrimp,
barbequed squid, cockles, mudcrawler snails, grilled flat
fish...
we've guaranteed she'll put on a whole passel of weight while
she's eating with us 
Wish that were me. I haven't been back for CNY for more than a
decade. School's in session and I can't pull the kids out. Mousy
will have a fabulous time, for sure!
The LAX - SG leg is a long and tiring one. Hasn't your back
healed yet? I thought it had since you flew to Oz and all
that...
