As some of you have been following my "travelogue", I arrived at Atlanta airport 2 hours ahead of schedule. So far ahead in time that I had to wait a couple of hours for my host to show up.So there I was sitting and firing up my laptop to watch a couple of movies. One thing about watching movies on the laptop is that the battery will drain. As I have been catching up on my shows at Greensboro airport and on the flight, I was left with about a hour of juice. It wasn't before long before I had to get off my arm chair and step to the opposite wall where there was a power outlet for me to keep the laptop going.
As soon as I plugged in my laptop at the opposite wall, an ang moh gentleman approached me if he could have my seat. The immediate timing probably suggested that he has been eyeing my arm chair for quite some time liao. I said yes thinking that I am stuck to the opposite wall anyway.
Lo and behold! He literally took the bladdy chair away. Wah lan eh, lim peh blur kee......
It kinda reminded me of my NTU days where I removed the canteen table from the lunch crowd (Goto Question. 4).
Ahh... karma has finally come full circle.
Anyway, here the picture of the empty corner after "my arm chair" kena kapoked. That's my luggage on the left.
On another note, we were at the gas station filling up the car and I decided to check out the mini-mart and get myself a drink. I picked up a bottle of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper to try. I think my taste buds kena overloaded jialat jialat as I can't taste anything else for the rest of the day. Sheesh....

I quite like this new Dr Pepper, it's funky! Did you hang out on Peachtree? Happening eh? I dun really like Atlanta, roads are kinda narrow, people drive crazy and too many "hei de" (Mandarin) ... not being racist lah, but kinda scary ... 8. JayWalk left... Pam: Yup, it's called Seah Streeet Deli and it's still there the last time I was back. The place where everything is good except the sandwiches coz the bread is rock hard.
mihuatang: Ironically isn't it. You can now see a picture with nothing in it. Same as not seeing the picture hor?
Lynne: Dr Pepper is my all time soda pop even if it mean paying SGD 1.00 per can back when I was still in Singapore.
By right, I shouldn't be drinking any more soda liao. Kena ban by my dentist. :(

11. JayWalk left... Lynne: Peachtree.... hmm... Are you stalking me??!!??
12. Lynne left...
Friday, 28 October 2005 4:32 am
Haha, me not stalking you, just that Peachtree is the most "in" place in Atlanta wat, you should know. So "happening" and "hot", therefore you there right? ;) 13. JayWalk left...
Maybe next time. Just maybe.

Lynne: Just yanking your chain there. I didn't have the chance to go to Peacetree itself as these few days have been spent meeting with attorneys, clients and a bit of market research. Maybe next time. Just maybe.

The Dr. Pepper thing seems good. Send one back! 18. JayWalk left...
akk: I read Drabble everyday. I have a subscription of it among many other comics like:
Dilbert, Big Nate, Pearls Before Swine, Pickles, Drabble, B.C., The Humble Stumble, Baby Blues, Marvin, Mother Goose & Grimm, On The Fastrack, Sherman's Lagoon, Zits, Triple Take, Bound & Gagged, Adam@Home, Doonesbury, Foxtrot, Garfield, Helen - Sweetheart Of The Internet, Non Sequitur, Shoe, Big Top, Pooch Cafe, In The Bleachers, Loose Parts, Compu-Toon, etc..
THB: Er... a bit too late liao coz I am replying this while on transit in Narita. Like I said in my earlier comments, Dr Pepper is available in Singapore at Jason' Supermarket. I have to warn you though, not everybody like it. My sis-in-law for example, hates it. Then again, she hates a lot of other stuff too, so I can't really be too sure. :P
