Part 1: Travelling from Singapore to OKC.

I've been dragging this for quite some time.
And I decided to do this bit by bit, area by area.
Not so much of sharing but more of notes to myself.

Firstly, memories of travelling from Singapore to the faraway Oklahoma City, USA.

-Transit time, 6 hours.
-Wanted to go out town, but was too expensive.
-Had delicious KFC's cheap breakfast.
-Experienced the not-so-cold Shanghai air.
-Lionel's nose was running like a tap.
-Jo got him the funny bird mask.
-Bought loads of tasty titbits as shown above.
-All was freaking tired but was not allowed to sleep, till next flight to adjust time lag.
-Bought stacks of magazines as it was dirt cheap!
