Amsterdam was freezing! And weather was very gloomy. Pretty lousy actually. Not exactly the best time of the year to go there. Well, always another time.

And the flight back was horrible! Was dumped with the rest of the masses in a full Economy class cabin. Being full isn't exactly bad. Worse still was that there were kids everywhere who were running up and down the isles, and kids who were crying. And the adults weren't very helpful either with their noisy bickering the whole flight-long. I think I only managed to catch 10 minutes of sleep out of the entire eleven and a half hour flight.

No wonder I concussed when I reached back.

Merry Christmas from Dubai!

Weather here is surprisingly cold for the middle east. I was expecting sweltering heat, but I welcome to cool air. However, I heard it can hit 50 degrees in the middle of summer. I hope I don't come here during that time.

Free internet in the hotel so I tried using Skype. Apparently, the whole city is not allowed to use Skype or any other VOIP form of communication. I wonder what's the reason. But the internet sms still works, so it isn't that bad.

Ate the world-famous Briyani rice. It was not too bad and the portion was huge!

Will be leaving early morning to Amsterdam tomorrow. Too bad it is going to be a short stay in Amsterdam. Then I will be back to Singapore.

Next post: New Year!

Went to catch Night At The Museum today and found it very entertaining. Okay, it is your typical comedy with Ben Stiller giving all kinds of funny facial expressions. But somehow, it was worth the trip to the cinema.

Also had to get a second pair of glasses that I have been meaning to get for quite a while. Trying a different style from the one I presently have. Shall let you know what the fashion police will think about it when it is ready next week.

TheGirl's sister and a friend came down from KL today. Drove all the way down, so TheGirl and the two will be going back to KL together on Wednesday. I sms-ed them the directions to get to TheGirl's place from Tuas and with the help of the map, they managed it quite well. Like I told them, all guys can read maps. Somehow, they interpreted that statement as "girls cannot read maps". I wonder what gave them that idea.

So, they gave me a lift back from Bishan after indulging ourselves with Sakae Sushi. Showed the guy how to top up cashcards for parking and where to get HDB parking coupons and how to use them... illegally too. For the greater good I say.

And tomorrow I will be off. Time to pack.

I am now under the category of Old Blogger. Well, I am old anyway.

So, been on a break for four days. And back to work today, with a visit to the office. Did some work in the evening, and it is now night time.

Some of the gang are meeting up for Christmas eve dinner, but poor me will be spending it in a tube with two other males. At least the weather at the destination is supposed to be good. Not really a white Christmas, but at least a cool one, free of humidity. Was at Anchorage again last week and it was freezing. My ears almost dropped off after a five minute walk to the local mall. Enough cold for one year.

Still can't apply for PRship because the person in charge is not around. Something is wrong here. When one person is not around, the whole system comes crashing to a halt. I would have thought that with the whole network and system and the whole IT gibberish, this should not happen.

And considering my apparent laziness in updating this blog, in case I don't see you, merry Christmas from Dubai!

Next stop is Hong Kong.

And it is delayed by 12 hours. Sigh.

Back from Sydney. Oh, did I say Melbourne? The ever-changing roster strikes again. Sigh. Didn't spend much time in Sydney. I had just about enough time to grab a dinner, sleep for eleven hours, grab lunch, hurry back to the hotel room and scoot off to the airport again.

And now I'm back in Singapore.

Back to work on Tuesday morning.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I have seen this page. Been really busy lately. Only around for a few days before I am off to work again. But I can't really complain because so far, things seem to be progressing fine. So far so good at least.

Next few weeks up to the beginning of January will be quite hectic as well. Was hoping that I would get a quiet and peaceful Christmas but it is unlikely to be the case. Oh well, maybe New Year would be better.

TheGirl is looking for a new place to stay since her landlord wants to rent out the entire unit and her housemate is moving out of the country. She is stress and it is just natural that the stress is rubbing off on me. Going off to Melbourne tomorrow night. That gives me a full Friday to relax and forget about this, temporarily. Nonetheless, a break is welcomed. Nice summer afternoon relaxing. Was supposed to be freezing Korea but I just can't imagine myself relaxing in the snow. Melbourne is good.

Also busy with my PR applications. Just need to wait for TwoDoorsUp to get my NUS certificate back from his home.

Another thing that came up is that my parents have been bugging me to find a place to stay. Permanently. They have been doing this for a few months already but I guess it is really time to get down to business. First thing would be to visit some showrooms. YC would be sharing his vast knowledge in terrorizing sales people (cars sales people included) with me. Should be starting this Sunday.

That should give me something to blog about.

Excellent.
