And no, I’m not counting down to Star Wars. The much-anticipated film opened in Singapore yesterday with a special premier the day before, so it’s already old news.

ONE DAY MORE UNTIL I AM BACK IN THE US FOR BREAK!

I’m leaving Singapore tonight at 11:20pm (our time) and I will land in New York City’s JFK Airport at 11:15am on Saturday (Eastern Standard Time), which is shortly after midnight Sunday morning Singapore time. Time zones are so convoluted. The fact that a 25-hour travel journey allows me to relive 13 hours of my life essentially means I’ll spend those 25 hours in an actual time warp. Bring it on.

After four days in NYC, I’ll fly up to Rochester where I’ll be until after the new year. All in all, I’ll be in the States for three weeks and I can’t wait. As much as I love Singapore and love traveling and love my friends here, there’s no place like home.
