to the Lees

Jorvalfaijed...

Just read your May 10 newsletter and it's great to see Faith and Jedi doing well in school, and to see you having your outdoor celebration!!

Val - You're welcome. Glad that the course for Faith did pay off. This is definitely money well spent!!

Missing you guys in Dubai. I'm looking at moving into Oasis.. can you believe that?!? Looking forward to catching up with you all.... in Perth, Singapore, or Dubai... or somewhere in the world!

a whinge of uncertainty

I'm into my final 3 months of my research now. There's so much data to be analysed... and if I knew how to do it, that'll be great. I can chuck along. The problem is that... I don't! I have this chunk of information, and still trying to figure out along the way what to do with it and how I can handle these data. Technically I have another month before the poster presentation... That means, another 3 weeks to figure out the sh@t i'm doing, get my thoughts together before embarking  on my 20k words long journey!

As Jeremy said... I should just put 20 pictures into my report and submit it because a picture is worth a thousand words...

In the mean time I have another problem - it's called J-O-B. I still don't know where i'll be, and what i wanna do! For sure, I'm not returning to that old one... So I went out to find new options... BUT... having a few options which none is the best fit is also another problem. I guess there is not such thing as a best fit job huh. Need to feed myself and pay the bills too.

Option 1: It's a business development role. But it will tie me down to one location for at least 5 years! That's long considering I still want to gallivant the world a little.

Option 2: Great one, government job, but the travel to work up and down will take 3 hours. That's the only down side.

Potential Option 3: This is the one I really want, but I haven't really gotten it yet. I can be super mobile (in terms of moving out of UAE in the future) with this one... but I will have to work very hard... and I mean VERY hard.

I pray for doors to close and the right one to be left open! Amen...

Mom & Dad's 32nd Anniversary

I made it back this May. Usually May is not a month that I'd be in Singapore. Anyway, this was an unexpected last minute travel back to Singapore for 4 days, which coincided nicely with Mom and Dad's 32nd Wedding Anniversary.

We had a little big private room at Mezzanine at the Grand Hyatt... which was nice because the acoustics at Mezzanine is generally quite bad that you have to scream across the table (literally).

We had the Lobster Sashimi. Not a fan of lobster, especially when they served the dude that still was moving on the plate. I remembered the story of how people eat monkey's brain (with the monkey still alive).

Self Pity Post

It's been a long while since I had a fever. In fact, I can't even remember when was the last time I had fever....
Haven't been able to eat anything the whole day, except for an apple...
I want my mummy....
