They are all animals here!

I am staying with Floyd and Farah (again). Floyd has helped us a lot with advise, board and food, writing and whiskey.

As we are heading to Robert's birthday party last night, Floyd turns around to the taxi driver and asks him what the big hoo-haa is all about... "Formula 1"... Floyd says:"They must all be animals. Or why the cages?".

This morning I found out that I am not doing enough sports, drink to much of the wrong liquids and perhaps eat too fatty. Floyd is 20 years older and outran me this morning. Depressing. For me. Next time I am here: Revenge.

Down South again next week

Next week it is Singapore. Got an assignment from a client and will be heading over. As usual, I will be staying the my favorite Editor (no names please). Hopefully, we can finally go for a jog, as we have planned for the past 3 years.

Funny thing: when you walk around Taiping (Malysia) people wave at you and say hi if you are a stranger to town... They must love tourists.

GI Joe the movie?

In the 90s we used to go to the cinema every week. I still like to see a good show on the big screen. Kind of different. With all the surround sound, the lights dim and popcorn and such.

Nowadays it is quite rare to find a good movie. Somehow it seems that Hollyschutt has lost the ability to come up with good plots. Look at Heat: 6 different stories interwoven. Tight. Smart and an "believable" story. This could really happen. And the shoot-out at the bank is amazing! One of the few movies that actually convince the audience that there are weapons in the game.

Next big blockbuster (HA!) is GI Joe. What is next? Mikado - The Movie? Monopoly 1,2 and 3? Or Checkers (Dame) as a soap opera? Movie adapatations of board games? Better to watch a bucket of paint dry up. I am going to bed now to see the rise of another Cobra.

Various business trips: Penang and Hong Kong

Tomorrow is a weekend. That means I can sleep a little longer. We will get up at 5:30 to go to Penang. This weekend we have a small job there to distribute ZoCards (http://www.zocard.com/).

Sunday we are planning to go fishing. Since we are around. Later that week, Wednesday, I am off to Hong Kong for a meeting. Have to get up at 4:00am. Nice one.

Hopefully the weather is nice as I am hoping to take some good pictures again.
Will be meeting some "old friends" too.

Who wants a postcard?

Too busy to...???

Ok, I know it is just an excuse. But I have just been too busy with work to post something. Besides, the idea is to write about interesting stuff here. And who would want to know about me going back and forth from home to town to meet people. That's what you do on Twitter, right?
(Twitter, in my opinion, will be dead and gone in 2 years latest...)

So.. I will not bore you with irrelevant stuff.
Or do you REALLY want to know that Spike had rashes?

Off to an Island

It has been a while.. The last time we went to a small island was back in Hong Kong. We used to go to a neighboring island every five minutes.

This weekend we are going to Perhentian Islands, Malaysia.
No phones, no laptops. Just diving and snorkeling.

A short trip over the weekend, but for sure deserved and well worth it. Only trouble is, I need to get used to fumbling contact lenses into my eyes as otherwise everthing will be blur.

Launchpad will rest Friday, Saturday and Sunday...

Nomen est omen - Omenclature...

Not that I am an expert in naming thing, people or labels, but I am not sure if this is gonna fly...

The fashion though is said to be of high quality.

I just can't see myself proudly saying:"This is a Fart Suit!"
