well an eventful few hours

well an eventful few hours since I last blogged 😉
for a change I went to the 2 sewers on Saturday night but dragged davo along too! bumped into a few drunken work colleagues and then wandered off
home, had a fab night all in all. got up exceedingly late on Sunday – well I had a late night hadn’t I
<g> so then pottered around and did some boring stuff before having a quick disco nap?
in preperation for GIANT.
went to GIANT with scally
and davo and queued for
stupid amounts of time [even though we had pre-purchased our tickets] and after
a wait of around and hour finally joined the queue for security check. after the
security check we then joined the queue to enter the venue. So by now we had
queued for around 2 hours and decided to not join the hour long queue for coat
check but fought our way through the crowds with our jackets in hand instead.
Despite all these problems [and they put us in a bad mood big stylee] we managed
to get into it when we later turned up to check our coats with a little
queue!
davo and I even ventured into the hoist <g> which wasn’t that bad actually
[apart from the porn on the video screens]. Stayed in the Heaven room for most
of the night [on a podium of course] and got completely drenched. Who needs a
sauna? or a work out for that matter. Wandered off home around 5ish I think – it
was getting very light anyways. I have vowed not to go next time because of the
queues but hey it was good despite it!

okay well I am back

okay well I am back in London now after the two 8 hour flights yesterday. Melatonin is a fantastic invention. Woke up sleepy [thanks scally for that call] and took Jack out for a walk – he was very happy to see me. I was very happy to see him. Pets they are fab no expectations and they are always happy to see you!
Well I arrived back to the flat like a sauna Elric had managed to leave the heating on manually full for the past 3 weeks so all my plants are a little dead or brown around the edges. The food that I left him in the Fridge before I left was unfortunately still in the fridge [and growing some new life forms] and anything that had been used up was lying around empty. So no coffee or washing powder then :o(
Luckily Andrew had brought me home with Jack and got an indian takeaway so at least we had something to eat!

I am not sure if I am missing Singapore [the company especially] or Sydney [the place and the atmosphere] more. All I know is it has strengthened my resolve to leave the UK for a while. I am going to be asking for that job in Oz with AOL and see what happens. It would only be an eight hour flight to my brother in Singapore then too. Unfortunately Naz will have moved to NY by then – not to worry I’ll be likely visiting Ny more frequently now that hotel expenses have vanished I do like wandering around manhattan. Not sure if I could live there though it’sa ll a bit too hectic like London. Sydney had a much more relaxed pace. Yes I know I was on holiday but you know what I mean.
Met up with Naz a couple more times before I left Singapore and he met the in laws he joined us for dinner on Thursday night. So all in all it was a very relaxing extra couple of days and I’m so glad I did not try and do all the trip in one day. Yesterday was bad enough. We sat and discussed last night how it was like flying to the states and sitting in the airport for a couple of hours and then flying home again . And it felt like it too. The first trip Singapore to Bahrain was made bearable by meeting a lovely boy Mahmoud from Beirut. He had the most piercing blue eyes and was generally a really nice – but a bit str8.
The trip from Bahrain to London had the little screens and games and films so that was alright. Shame I had managed to buy more in Bahrain Duty Free!

So I had better go and do some washing and buy some food and act generally depressed :o(
