So eventful. Completely offline and getting all caught up with work – feel like venting every day. But really I talk and whinge just to let it out. Work has been hectic, sleep was lacking for a long while, and it felt like it would never stop because I could never see the light at the end of the tunnel.
So here I am finally in a little patch of light (in the middle of the tunnel) – feeling alright, and just looking forward to the end of the year, some time in Oz, and some catch up. My friday night bottle of wine now feels like it is deserved cos i’m cranking it during the week.
Early november took me to Manila for a work thing – my worst public speaking nightmare came true, the dreaded ‘worst-nightmare’ kind of stuff all happened, and I came away a few hours later relatively unscathed and feeling fine. Get over things alot quicker these days, there are worse things. A possible trip to KL next week, and maybe Vietnam the week after. Travel seems to be always in the picture. Manila airport security is a laugh, but that’s another story.
Fun-wise, a friend of ours, D, managed to get us free tix to Kanye West in Singapore. Loved it, because I had very low expectations. Next was a impromput weekend trip to Macau to see Chris Brown, catch up with Larry, and chill. My folks were back from india and hanging in HK, so we caught the ferry over and did the garlic chilli crab and yum cha thing. Missed them, was so good to see them. Then back on the Free cotai ferry back to Macau and on a flight back to Singers on Sunday night. I think we spent some time just trying to work out what we could get for free in Macau, but free return trips to HK is def possible (without having to hit the tables). Then D got us sweet seats at the Kylie concert in Singapore. The best production so far, but I was less enthused with the concert – compared to Kanye, the difference in the crowd was obvious. My highlight was the frog porridge in geylang afterwards. Damn – I was sweating my ass off – chilli, heat, everything, but the food was fantastic. Seriously, you know that feeling when you sit back after a meal and feel that satisfaction? I had a friend try to tell me that they breed them frogs in the sewers to make them grow faster, but screw that – it’s 50/50 whether it’s true, I can’t be fuct googling that, and I’d rather just enjoy the feed.
Started running again this week, first time in 6 weeks. mrQ bought me a fabulous green nano and the nike ipod kit. got me motivated, even though I am having trouble walking down stairs right now. Only spanner in the works is the fact that I can’t get hold of nike+ shoes here. I don’t fit women nikes and wear a 4Y in the kids range – not many nike+ compatible options there. Considering ordering from the US. My workaround is some cling-wrap around the sensor and tucking it between laces and tongue of the shoe. Class. my fave kylie shot below – funny how it’s not even the live stuff..
Okay, that sucks, wordpress what did you do, I don’t know how to upload images now! Try again next time…
