Updates

Wow - over three months since my last post. What have I been doing? Well, quite a bit actually. I changed jobs last Autumn, although I'm pretty much doing the same kind of thing. The one big plus is that my office is now on Orchard Road, and there's better shopping there. There's also more options on food, although no quick n cheap kopi tiams.

And this is primarily the reason I have not blogged for a while - work. I started at the end of October, and within a few days was of to Oz for some induction for a fortnight. Back in Singapore for a week, and then off to Manila to meet my new team fro a fortnight. Back for a few weeks, then off to the UK for Christmas. Things have started to settle down now, but for a while it was pretty busy. Just as a little aside, we're right in the middle of the rainy season here in Singapore, so rain most of the time. It usually starts at aorund 3-4 in the afternoon, and can continue for most of the evening. Just so as you know it's not all fun in the sun here. Only 9 months of the time.

What else have we been up to? Well, in October we went to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon for you romantics), which was great. Food was fantastic, with serious French influence. Coffee was the best I've had, and the buildings were interesting too. We only went for a few days, but would recommend it.

Some of you may know that we're going back to the UK this week. Guess we'll catch up with most of you then. I'll try to keep blogging, although it may not be as frequent as before. Fear not, I'm still here, although gaining in girth by the day...this may have something to do with the fact that I have not jogged much since I bought my expensive new "running shoes". This will (hopefully!) change now, as I'm signed up to do the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge in Singapore in April, along with my office colleagues. How will I fare? That kind of depends on the amount I have to drink between now and then...
