3rd time's the charm. This was definitely my best trip to Dublin yet ! Partially through going to a series of cool places and doing cool stuff, but mainly due to spending time with the amazing Morgs & Kris! Also, making it onto both my outbound and inbound flights cheered me up substantially. Friday night…

(Incidentally, this probably isn't going to mean much to my Australian readership, but I'll press on regardless) Ever since leaving Australia recently I've been feeling a trifle uneasy. Walking/bussing around London would occasionally see me feel a cold shiver down my spine and sneaking sense of dread in the pit of my stomach. I've been…

G'day from Dublin! Am just off to The Clarence (U2's pub) for Kris's birthday. Went to the Guinness Storehouse today, then the Jameson distillery. And OH BOY… did we hear some BAD jokes. Kinda comforting – gives me something to aspire to.

G'day from scenic Gatwick Airport! Am just waiting for my plane to Dublin for Kris's birthday weekend. She seemed pretty sure I'd miss my flight (although customarily it's mainly flights from Perth I miss…). In FACT my flight boards at 8.30, and I was all through checkin & security by 7.20. This gave me time…

Isn't the internet a rewarding place ? It turns out that one can buy posters of extremely large Mersenne prime numbers ! Choose from old favourites like (26972593)-1, (213466917)-1, or if you're into more fashionable and contemporary numbers, there's the recently discovered (225964951)-1. Make your Christmas list a hallowed ground ! Go here to buy…

Ever get the feeling that despite your years of experience of life on this planet and adjusting to social convention in your home environment, that there's still possibly realms of things you haven't yet discovered or worked out how to deal with ? Like when you're walking along a street and see a big yellow…

Been too busy getting back into the swing of things here to finish writing. Having a few complications with my already errant body clock trying to work out which time zone it's in. Birthday drinks for Emzo the other night at Lush was good – great to see everyone again. Felt like I'd been away…

Back in London. Eyeballs bleeding, stuffy nose, etc. = all good 14 hour flight symptoms. Just ran into the Philips Clan at Heathrow – weird. The first time I've ever seen anyone I knew at Heathrow, and it was people from Adelaide who had come in the same entrance I had (i.e. an aeroplane). Apparently…

Finally, I managed to sleep on a plane ! And typically, the movies they had were ones that I actually wanted to see (read: would have been perfectly happy to see for free). Oh well, that wasn't meant to be. Here I am back in humid & steamy Singapore for the 5th time in 2…

I'll finish listing what I've been up to this week another time, cos I'm a bit short on spare minutes right at this second, however I just wanted to say cheers to everyone who came along to the Wheatie last night for a totally rockin' farewell drinks thingo. As per usual I didn't really get…
