... so good for Kenneth to be home for a short visit



Kenneth's application for H1B visa was approved and he had to get his passport stamp at a US consulate - meaning he had to leave US to another country. He initially wanted to just cross the border to Canada to get it done. But since he had to travel we suggested he come home - even if it was just a week. 

So Ken came back for 10 days - 5 days of leave plus 2 weekends. He met up with his friends as well as Zainal and the Maos. We played a round at Keppel as well - it was obvious he has not touched his clubs since graduating! 

He took the opportunity also to catch up on his sleep - apparently he has been having only 3-4 hours sleep a night for the last few weeks. Working in New York is really bad of health!

We had all the usual local food (like cereal prawns, fried Hokkien mee, chee kuay, pork chop curry rice, etc) whilst renewing his friendship with some of the uncle at the hawker centers). We finished the feasting with a seafood (Chilli crab, oyster omelette, etc) dinner on the eve of his departure to US. 

Overall, it was good to see him again. Looking forward to seeing him again in a few weeks time in New York!
