A long overdue update

There and Back Again

Hmmm... sounds like a Hobbits Tale in the making...

The past financial year has seen me on the aluminium tube more times that I would like to imagine... Some people think that it is the envy of them all to be in and out of the plane... But the reality is when it is only the middle of the month and I have travelled twice, I can actually tell you what movies are on that sector and that one has to resort to ordering a special meal for variety sake is quite tragict to say the least...

Well at least I can say that it is nice to be able to blog and have a "normal" tech lifestyle... Yet on the other hand, when one has not used it for so long, one seems to forget to miss it... Sad but true...

Will have to update the food blog pictures though... Dont know when that would be done... Ok I know... it will apppear in the second half of this year...

Shanghai has not seen a proper spring yet... I left it aat 5 degrees in the middle of April and hail falling... Hmmm.. think this poor old earth is tired and worn out....

Now back to what I was doing....

Chinese New Year

What!!! It is that time of year again??? No... But well the upside is I can use m blog and facebook to my heart's contend... the down side is having to plaster on a smile and nod and be nice.... I am counting down the months till the end of things in a way... I left a frozen Shanghai and instead swapped it for an over hot tropical retreat... LOL... and to think that some people want to lead a jet setting lifestyle... All I want is some sleep...

at the end of the day....

Another few and far between posting has begun.. It is hard to imagine life without you tube, blogging, Facebook, twitter, but hey when the chips are down life takes interesting turns... I am in the land of technical freedom at the moment and thought I better keeps things alive for the moment with a new blog... Especially as the year draws to a close.. . at times i wonder where all the time has gone to or where the year has disappeared to.... Some how it doesn't seem that long ago that we were welcoming 2009 in and now we are ushering it out with a vengeance.... life has been strange this year... the first half of the year was my previous academic year and the second half of the year is the present academic year... on top of that, I have been in Shanghai for a year and a half now... hmmm.... and o think most people thought I wouldn't make it and survive being in a non "western" country!

Anyway, time to hit the sack....

the long silence

Well.. I know... it has been the longest time since I have had the chance to update my blog... Life in Shanghai has been pretty busy... I am not the grnd commuter and am shuttling between campuses to conduct my lessons on top of climbing the stairs to go between Primary and ECE - as usual... life is pretty busy... But well can't complain.. everbody wants their pound of flesh... So here is mine...

It is the National Day holidays at the moment and I am busy cleaning out my room in Singapore and am preparing to become a turtle... carry my worldly goods on my back which will become my home... Not a great feeling but life is never perfect or totally fair so just dealing with it a day at the time...

My back is not totally comepletely healed and that has been proving a challenge where my work is concerened... as I cant bend anymore and it has been really painful to teach the little darlings... Hope to see the end of this tunnel...

Into a new adventure... Oh and it will not be as frequent an update once I get back to Shanghai as it is not the most convinient to get onto blogspot...

I am back!!!!

Can't believe that I have been out of the blogging action for such a long time... well this time has been beyond my human control... I have been left isolated from a lot of essential sites and this is one of them... But all is good... it is a really hot season and I can't wait for the weather to cool down a tad... so much so that I am absolutely not motivated to move out of the comfort of my home.. the mere thought of it and I would curl up on my sofa instead...

Hmmm good way to save money....

life...

Life has been pretty relaxing... so much so that I am wondering how I am going to get back into gear for work next week... Boo hoo hoo I can't believe that the holidays are coming to an end that quickly... How I wish it would be just a tad longer... But all good things must come to an end like it or not... oh well... till the next holidays...
