So I was back in Singapore for five (long) days. In between, I ran my errants, met up with TheGirl every day, cleaned up my room and a whole lot. Oh right, the aircond was installed in my room while I was away and so I had quite a bit of cleaning to do when I reached back at midnight. It was almost 4AM when I went to bed. But, everything looks good for now.

In line with the new aircond, I headed down to IKEA to grab some things to spruce up the room. Or rather, to make things a bit neater with boxes and file holders etc. And as I was saying, things look good for now.

Ironically, with the aircond installed, the weather decided to pour some rain on us, which makes the feeling of switching on the aircond just wrong. But nonetheless, it is a good thing. Who knows, with global warming, it may be warm in December. Aircond these days do not emit CFC right?

Tonight, I will be heading back to Amsterdam via Dubai. And I will be flying to Amsterdam via Dubai many, many times for the next two months. I ain't complaining, but it is weird to be going to the same places all the time. Maybe I should make some friends among the hotel staff and get a free room upgrade.

Okay, I shall continue in the sweltering heat of Dubai.

Alright then, so I have three full days in Kuwait with no friends around. Which leaves me with absolutely no excuse to not update my blog. So here goes.

After much harassment (I kid) I decided to see what this whole rss thing is all about. Looks pretty interesting, so I searched for the option in blogger which is supposed to exist. But I can't find it. End of interest.

I was in China and as usual, the air quality was horrible. I am having a little bit of a cough and sniffles and I bet it was due to the air over there. I wonder how the people there survive. Probably with those nose covers that people back home used to laugh at. Ain't no laughing matter anymore.

Next trip was to LA, traveling in ECONOMY class with a stop over at Narita Tokyo. After 19 hours, I pretty much had to peel my knees from my chin before I could get out of my seat. The rest of the crew went ahead except for one of my coursemates who waited for me while I went through the secondary screening (as usual). So, we took a cab to the hotel which was a whopping USD30. Now, to get to town from the hotel I bet it will cost 50 bucks. That would be about the price for renting a pretty decent car for one day. Next time I go there with a long layover, I plan to head over to Vegas. That would be cool.

Then, a couple of stops in Brussels followed by Amsterdam has led me to being in Kuwait right now. That's right, you can pick up your jaws from the floor now. And as you guessed it, there is nothing to see here! Okay, people will argue that there has to be things to do and I am just plain lazy to go explore. Fine, I am lazy. But I being so close to Iraq (we could actually see the lights of Baghdad in the horizon as we came into Kuwait), I don't plan to appear on CNN in orange pullovers with hooded men behind me. No sir. There are better ways to appear on CNN. So, it's now 830AM and I guess I will hit the gym before going for the free breakfast. Time to burn off those pints of Belgian beer.

Till tomorrow, if I have got anything interesting to blog.

So it looks like the three of us homies are going to stay at our bachelor pad for another year. This time, with the addition of aircond! No more hot sweaty nights I say.

Okay, been busy since I got back from Korea. Overall, the trip was okay. As usual, we were rudely woken up every morning at 7AM. Totally unreal for me who is so used to waking up at noon. But the sights were nice and the people don't speak English. And the KAL aircraft did not have personal screens. Lousy.

Got back, and went straight home to KL the next day. First ever Singapore to KL flight. Not really my choice of transport to go back, but it was a family emergency and I had to be back by 9AM that day. I just barely made it.

Then, when I returned to Singapore, I went to work the next day. Had enough time at night to have dinner with TheGirl and I was off again.

And I was working on my birthday. Thanks again to everyone who sent me birthday wishes. I was away when I received the messages (hey, Anchorage has no reception at all) so I didn't have the chance to reply them. Oh, the security guard at the aircraft noticed my birthday on the crew list too. Well, although I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday in Singapore, Hong Kong threw a big celebration with fireworks just for me. Nah, just kidding, it was their 10th anniversary of the handover which coincidentally falls on my birthday. But, the fireworks show was still a treat.

Back in Singapore now to spend three days (wow!) before I go off again.

Busy me.
