So its been more than half a year; and nothing much has changed.

I almost fell into depression last week.

My bout of two-weeks-flu, which I got during the much-waited Macau-Shenzhen-Hk holiday, caused severe ear block/pain (an occupational health hazard almost all of us will go thru). With people scaring me with freak eardrums-bursting stories hours before my reporting, I had no choice but to take mc for the Amsterdam that I changed for and have been so dying to do.

After being utterly depressed because I gave an unknown colleague to see the windmills and red light district, I was called up for London. (I've another London at the end of July!!!)

The next time I was on ground, I was futher devastated by my new roster.
Another London, fuck! Lost count of how many times I've been to M&S and the hugeass Topshop in Oxford Circus.
Since 4-sector flights are too long for me and London pays the best amongst European stations, I shouldn't be lamenting. But, I'm certain I'll be happier gulping Denmark beer, visiting Old Trafford, going to Mountains and clumbing up Acropolis. And, did I mention taking pictures of windmills and walking down the famous red light district? Crap.

WHO HAVE I OFFENDED IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT!?

My consolation is having khakis to visit Stonehenge and Windsor Castle during my next London. Another consolation is that at least I get good days off again. And I'll be back on the 8th Sep, just nice to attend Farena's wedding on the 9th.

Anyway I'm happy to visit Socks in Syd on Friday, visiting Table Mountain and looking at penguins in Cape Town soon, and holidaying in New York City next month. I'm gonna be at least 8k poorer because I'm paying for my precious brother's air tickets, shopping (God, help me), and everything else.

For those interested, spending S$1000 to travel to look at the pyramids is not worth it but spending twice or thrice the price to look at the fountain of trevi in Rome definitely is worth. Pisa is a very small town with only the leaning tower interesting; and Shenzhen looks even more developed than Shanghai.

Another update- I might be moving house (again) soon, which sucks after I'm so comfortable paying 4bucks max to taxi home from Orchard, drive home safely from no-thanks-for-yr-drinks-im-driving clubbing and paying expensively to taxi back from Changi.

My spending/ shopping abilities has gone up by 193757676869 notches since my last post, so I'm not sure how much will go to Salvation Army when I start to pack but it's gonna be hell lot of work.
