IN THE LAND OF GIANTS (26 Jan ’06)

I was among giants on the flight to Austria; Germans or Austrians who were way too tall to meet eye to eye with me. 16 hours of flight across the Europe continent wasn’t something that I do often in my life. In fact, it felt like a dream to be able to travel that far. It was something out of my world; even winning a grand prize in a contest does not come this close (Never won anything major in any contests before). It was something that God made possible. Also meeting with Chee Chung halfway across the world was really exciting. I had not met him for a month now and the feeling is like meeting a blind date, acquainted through Internet. What would he look like? I dozed off again, listening to the soft humming of the plane engines.
