Warp Speed
Wowee! How fast time seems to have passed when you're really busy! It felt like only last week that I wrote the previous post, but in reality it was over a month ago. A lot of things have happened in the past month, starting with me ironically crashing my bike a week after writing up on it here. It wasn't like a big crash or anything serious. I was travelling and I hit a mud patch, which I then proceeded to crash into a hedge and ended up part sliding in the hedge and part sliding down the road. I suffered two massively sprained fingers and a heavily bruised knee. Thank god for the protective kit I was wearing! If not for that, bits of my knee would have ended up on the road. The bike just had some minor cosmetic damage, but it did put a dent into my plans to sell it.
After all that excitement, work started getting really serious again (not that it wasn't serious in the first place!). And then my birthday appeared around the corner. Turning 27 seemed to have just crept up on me. I still felt the same as I was 26...heck I still felt the same as I was 23! Well...older and wiser that's what I'd like to say. So wise that I kept my birthday celebrations really low key. I simply went out for some celebratory drinks with good friends at a nearby bar and was well in bed by 12am.
The following weekend, I had a really wonderful guest, the all encompassing and wise Justin, coming from London to stay with me for a couple of days. We both used to live together when we were in university and I had a really great time catching up with him.
Now, I've got my sister staying with me for this weekend. It will be her last time here before she heads back to Singapore for good. She has been studying in Dublin for the past three years as part of her medical degree and she will have to spend the final two years in Singapore working and studying in a hospital/clinic before she can be qualified as a doctor. As usual, whenever you put two siblings together, there is a small amount of rivalry and bickering.
Anyway, that's a really quick update for now and hopefully I'll have time to make another post sometime soon. I would also like to continue my animal encounters series which has been on the back burner due to poor weather and lack of time. But for now...warp speed...engage!
