Last week of it, back to the grindstone on Monday.

Decided i didn't want to work for your lot so went elsewhere.

If you are hacked off with your current position, there is certainly lots of work out there at the moment, guess it all depends on how much $$$ you want to earn!

So you got the Bike, thinking of an M/// now? Mate of mine has a 335iMSport out here, rather a rapid beast it is too, just not a fan of the BMW paddle shifters, spent too much time as a yoof playing arcade games where one paddle was up and the other was down hehe

I'm gonna start looking soon, got a cushy number here, things are very flexible and I can do pretty much what I want... still bored though!

Nah, not thinking of a car just yet (wouldn't mind something like your old blue beast wink ), the Ducati is keeping me entertained at the mo, the commute to work is a lot faster to say the least.

I did warn you that, great as it appears, public transport wears thin fairly quickly and you soon learn the benefits of your own transport!!!

You done a Saturday Morning in Pasir Guidang yet?

Know a few good contacts that i can put you in touch with if you want to stick your toe in the water and see what's out there before making a jump. You use linkedin?

and Berw, welcome back to civilisation!!

Just sat on the PIE for an hour as a lorry had overturned, after my 7am meeting up near Jurong! frown

its because of the assorted typhoons out in the South China Sea pushing the weather further south, and yes it is bloody iritating!!

Ohh and a lesson learnt here, if there is ANY alternative route take it as opposed to the PIE or the CTE!!!

It may appear to be the most direct route but it NEVER is!!

Ohh, happy Anniversary! Going anywhere nice?

I only know the PIE! Need to get out and explore more!

Off to Bintan, which may not be great in. This weather but we needed to be relatively close with the move on Monday and Lou heading back to the UK for 2 weeks next week!

Maybe organize a meet around September?

Taking her to Lucy's Oar House in Nagoya? hehe

There are some nice enough resourts there, a tad shabby but a nice break from Singapore!

Let's just say too much whisky, the internet, and a sensitive topic on mumsnet being invaded by multiple PHers seems to get you binned for 30 days...
