Spring is upon us.

One thing bout Britain: the temperature changes like crazy. Take yesterday for example, it was a cool 15degrees....and today? bloody 25 degrees! Think i'm starting to talk like one of them limeys, can't keep a conversation without talking about the weather.

It's 4:14 in the morning now (and yes, the sun is about to rise), and lest you wonder what i'm doing on the INTERNET at this hour, i have got to announce that i've now got INTERNET access at home! Well, lah dee dah! And i'm using the office PC so i don't have to buy my own computer, for the moment.

I must say, things are really getting to look good, i mean, i've never felt happier in my life! Looking back, it's a scant half year ago that i left singapore for this icebox and i've never regretted it since. It was scary at first, no job, no money, no knowledge about this "foreign place", but as always, i'm glad that i've an appetite for risk. Singapore has always taught us to be risk averse, these are one of those teachings that i shun. (Read: risk, not stupidity. i'm sorry to admit that traffic fines equate stupidity. well, c'mon, we've all got our stupid moments eh?)

The american financial markets have been performing good as always, i'm about to get a raise and promotion, my little business is starting to take root to grow again. I've rediscovered the music that i like, i feel a million dollars (you really do feel healthier after staying away from hawker food for a while!), I've got great friends...sigh, think I'm falling in love with Europe. But man, do i miss you people back home... apart from the 3 singaporeans here that i hardly ever meet, i've haven't had any other asian friends at all. I think i'd better start planning to go home for a bit.

The only complaint i've got is the bloody national rail. It's slow, you only have 2 trains per hour (miss it and you're fucked) and i'm spending more money on it than i spend on food.

I was at a comedy club last night! It was one of my housemates birthday... i swear it was a bloody riot! This standup comedian Lee Hurst was a bag of laughs! oh my god, it's a shame that we don't have proper comedy clubs in Singapore it'd be so much fun!

I've been mentioning housemates all the time, i think it's time that i give them a formal introduction:

Pieter de Vries; from Bloomfontein, South Africa
Mohammed Bussaid; from Libya
Ben Young; from Brisbane, Australia
Wylota and Gaddas; from Lithuania, Eastern Europe
James and Sara; from Manchester, England

A very international house i must say. conversations can get pretty interesting!

It was the birthday of Shakespere a week ago and there was free admission to the Globe Theatre, pity i didn't go, was busy doing some work, from work.

Chao.

been wondering why i haven't made new entries in such a long time?

Well, exciting things are about to happen. very exciting things.
I'll keep it hush hush yet, but let's just say that Maine and Shang Communications will now be known as Maine and Shang MNC Ltd.

Fresh announcements will be made mid-may.

Otherwise, weekends are dotted with sporadic bouts of Italian food, clubs, Birmingham hotels, £1000 bar bills, Picadilly hangabouts, N55 rides, late night kebabs, tube engineering works and women. i'm kidding bout the women.

..and i was also very busy througout the week. The last week saw me building at corporate video presentation from scratch. From out of a very low tech PC, a 3.2megapixel camera and a pasta-fueled imagination, comes forth the most fantastic video production i have ever made. I'm gonna send this to some of you to shoot your comments. My boss got so excited, he's now in the States to buy a copy of Adobe Premier Pro for me!

I'm heading out to Birmingham again next week, another working trip. Not that it's the most fancy city in England but...anyway...
