Almost 3 months into the assignment here in Bangkok now (get home 1 week in 4 though – till Trish joins me) and I finally got my first few hours out as a tourist today. I visited a Wat (temple), though it turned out not to be one of the usual tourist venues. I just…

Soon after classes and assignments finished in April, I went to England for three weeks to see my parents and do my internship at a design firm. It was a really great experience, and I got to see all of dad’s side of the family, and some of mum’s. We went to London where we…

Hot-desking it in Asia (written at the end of April)… I have been here in Bangkok for 4 days this trip, and I hope it’s true that April is the hottest month of the year in this country. It’s been 38 C outside today, though it’s cooled off to a balmy 31 at 8 pm.…

Ugh, I really dislike losing an hour to the clock change. It’s very annoying – I was lying in bed lazily this morning, thinking I had all the time in the world. Then I got up and looked at my computer clock and saw it was actually 12:10 PM!!! Nooo, I thought. It feels like…

Went to see The Passion, or The Passion of the Christ as it is called in England, on Tuesday with Dave and Linda. I am glad I went to see it. No surprises however, just the straight story as it is told in the Bible. It did make the whole thing more real for me…

Looks like I wasn’t too careful with my bandwidth this month. Lots of people were looking at my portfolio because I’ve been applying for jobs all over the place, so I guess that ate up all the upload/download “credits” that I’m allowed per month. I’ve moved my files and the main portfolio is at a…

I tried to blog last week but lost it all, so here goes again. Captain’s log, Star Date 401 Dave and I just got back from a couple of days in London. We stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Knightsbridge, courtesy of Dave’s points: sheer luxury, lovely down-filled pillows and duvet, as well as a…

Spring ‘as sprung, the grass is riz etc Already things in the garden are beckoning, and yet we now have a real backlog of work in the house to get done before the visiting season starts. Hopefully, we will have a new dining room and upstairs bathhroom by the time we get to Easter, and…

After going on at Dave for not blogging, I haven’t written here for ages! We are now in March! Spring is in the air, Daffodils are out, Quince is in blossom and the grass is growing, no we are not about to cut it. We are still deep in dining room renovation mode. Dave has…

Reading week is long over and I’m back to full workload again. After this week, perhaps it won’t be so bad. 2 of my projects will be over and I’ll only have a few left for the next 4 weeks. *sigh* I have to finish my portfolio website (it is currently in the works) and…
