a great

This is the most important thing of today: Story of Stuff

Now, when that stuff is done, I had such a great Saturday! Waking up, going to the pool with my breakfast (mmm, blueberry milkshake!) heading down to town, shopping for climbing pants. Now that my knee is almost healed I thought I needed new pants since the old ones actually gives me trouble moving sometimes. Continued some shopping (boring) then headed off to my old place at to pick up some mail that still comes there. Managed to see a bike accident :( but the guy was ok. Looked scary tho.
Stopped at Suntec City and took some photos of "the Gateway"

That killer sky was really not something you play with! doomsday dark...
Continued to an exhibition at SAM , 8Q. After that time for dinner with a Couchsurfer then home for a quiet night. Needed after Friday night's bash at Swisshotel Merchant Court, Hooters and China1.

Time for hiking now.

Some pictures from my recent Dubai trip are found below. These are only from the CouchSurf meeting, and I may upload some more if I deem them to be of public interest. (Mostly lit arches in sand colours...)

Dubai CS

Work in Dubai was a real drag, incredibly boring and non-constructive. It also costed our client shitloads of money, cash that I'd much rather have kept for myself! Anyway, we got out and about a bit and saw some nice parts of Dubai which is a very strange fairy land city. Everything is just surface, but still nice in some odd way. One night we saw U2 playing live at the Irish Village for example! Ok ok, it was a cover band named U-zoo or something, but pretty nice anyway :) And the irish village is basically some Irish shop front panels pasted on the side of a Tennis stadium. But it works, people are happy and we had a good time. (Oh, those pics I should really try to upload! Later maybe)

Back in Singapore I saw my doctor today about the knee. Good news is that I don't have to see him again, bad news is only that I can't do any "vigorous activities" for a few weeks. Guess those include climbing and dancing, among others...

Having a french CouchSurfer coming tomorrow, so off to bed now to be at least partly presentable tomorrow.
