Regulars readers of this blog (that's the four of you; thanks Evol, Gabriel, Sebastiane and Jughead!) will note that the normally sporadic updates have lately been a daily event. The reason? Simply, time.
Contrast to last holiday's mad dash when I was literally still packing my suitcase at the 11th hour, this time, I've been super organised. So much that, aside from the regular posts, I've also had the chance to...
- Take an absentee vote AND the early opportunity to stick it to Howard.
- Setup the plasma TV, VCR, stereo system and home wireless network at a techno-challenged friend's new place.
- See the new crocodile monster flick, Rogue, and god-awful vampire thriller, 30 Days of Nights.
- Register as a Sole Business Trader entity for (hopefully) future work as a freelance writer.
- Finish watching the backlog of taped TV shows, some going as far back as BB06.
- Have a two-hour long remedial massage to relieve the four weeks' worth of over zealous weight training and cardio (due in part of below).
- Attend farewell dinners, lunches and breakfasts with friends and sundry.
- Drive all over town in my brand spanking new pimped-up ride.
Every person who finds out that I'm about to leave for my 9-week jaunt invariably asks the same question: "Are you getting excited?" In truth, not really. Perhaps due to having kept myself occupied or in fear of preempting, I'm yet to feel that giddy, butterfly-in-the-tummy sensation. But soon as I have those bags checked-in tonight, I'm sure to start jumping on the spot AND clapping like a little schoolgirl hyped up on Bratz-branded sugar.
So guys, this is it. My last post for a little while as I head off to the big blue warm waters and sunny isles of the tropics. Wish me luck, don't be a stranger and be sure to keep in touch.
I can't wait to eat that airplane food.

p.s. i usually find the plastic wrap is the best part of a meal.
Whooo! Have tonnes of fun. Bring back loads of sordid (and some cultural) stories for the blog, y'hear?
Gee I can't believe you'd managed to do all those before you left, and here I am, less than two weeks shy of my travel and still haven't got Norwegian souvenirs to bring home. Aaargh! Hope my airplane meal tastes good, Singapore Airlines baby, it has to be! See ya around!
