*1216 - tonight

TONIGHT the boy sets foot on this little island.  It's happening!!  I can scarcely believe it.  Pictures and stories and pseudo Singaporean food abroad by means of packet mixes/sadly inauthentic restaurants can help, but nothing comes close to understanding my roots and my motherland by experiencing everything in person, obviously.  Expecting to have a sleepy, sweaty, sunburnt, salivating (from overly-spicy food) D in my hands for the next couple of weeks.  Hurrah!
