Yes, I am still here

Sorry, haven't had much time to update this blog. But then again, not much happening here either. Next scheduled trip is only in May, to Singapore.

Hong Kong was fun. But too short. I went back to see our old place one evening.
Many places that we used to go for dinner were gone, replaced by other places we could go for dinner. Well, nothing more consistent than change, I guess.

Next week is F1 in Sepang. I am going with Simon. We have now been there 4 years in a row I believe. Not sure if I am going next year. The hype is really gone in KL. Just TRYING to pick up your tickets is a nightmare. Singapore GP does a fine job there. Parents are coming to see the race in Singapore.

Upcoming visit to Hong Kong

I will be spending the next week (2nd - 9th March) in Hong Kong. This is primarily a business trip, however there should be some time for relaxation too. Hoping to go for a hike with Roland and a run with Kamlesh. Kamlesh might put me to shame, having just completed the 100Km hike in Hong Kong.

Pictures later.

Only in Asia - Part 2

Chinese New Year is the time when 7 Million Malaysians travel from North to South and another 6 Million the other way. Joining the stampede, we went to Taiping to see the rest of the family. Instead of booking the usual spot, Thomas wanted to try something different. The food was "as normal", with all the typical ingredients. No surprise here. When he mentioned entertainment, we were all expecting a lion dance. Well,... someone danced. I think this must have been the most interesting interpretation of this song I have seen so far. Only in Asia...

Isolation

The old man walked in while we had our lunch. He ordered coffee and smoked his cigarettes (Malboro). No one came to join him. No one spoke to him. All he did was stare at the traffic while he enjoyed the cigarette and coffee. I wonder what stories he would have to tell. The sunken eyes look like they have seen a lot.

Good-bye to T-Online

Someone seemed to have hi-jacked my personal e-mail address. I am therefore shutting it down. In 20 days there will be no more @t-online.de

In the future please use the company address...

Sorry for the inconvenience... I really loved the address and it has been with me for a decade.

Vietnamese Take Away

Just picked up my Vietnamese Take-Away dinner...Still a bit raw...

Am I excited or what?

Now,... The best news this year was the Michael Schumacher (schuuuuuuuuuuuuumiiiiiiii!!!) is returning. Floyd said so.

Anyway, I got my parents to come to Singapore for the race. And am I excited or what?
Looking at what Singapore put together this year, 2010 will be the biggest party on the planet.
I am going to get tickets for turn 1 or 2.. No matter what (La).

Countdown now. At home. Not in the mood to go out. Bottle of Barcadi with me. Good food and movies... Roooooar 2010!

Other trips that are planned for the coming year: March to Hong Kong, Japan (finally) and Germany.
