It is only a matter of hours till I board A380 (one of the largest Airbuses around and it is said that Singapore Airlines have 'stocked' the plane with GOOD LOOKING air stewards and air stewardesses). I can't wait to reach Japan (GMT +9, so add an hour to Singapore's time)! I can barely contain my excitement. In fact, it reminds me of the night before I flew off to Melbourne. I just would not fall asleep!

Whilst packing my bag, I realised that I needed a new duffel. So I decided to check out Bottega Veneta. My oh my! Bottega's prices are cut-throat! But, it is indisputable that they produce the most intricate leather-ware. The bags do remind me of the Malay Ketupat.
