So I am only just getting back to this Blogg, and it’s now (last viewed 3 months ago) October!!! I know that’s super lazy, especially when I’d already written July’s installment.. still that means that things have been keeping me busy and out of trouble for a while.
India is definitely over for me.. work wise at least. The company did ask me to go back, but luckily for me before I threw in the towel for good another opportunity came up… in Vietnam.
So, here I am.. and trust me, I’m lovin’ it… This place is like Vegas compared to Gurgoan.. I’ve already made heaps of friends and have been hoppin’ about as much as possible.. Sapa (Vietnam, China boarder), Halong Bay, any bar, pub or restaurant that will let me in … cut me some slack, I have 4 months to make up for ;o) plus I get to fly back to Singapore… or wherever I want to every other weekend.. It’s a sweet gig, and will do for now.
I’m missing home a bit now though… there’s talk of me being back in the UK early next year, and although I don’t want think about it too much until I know for sure what the plan is, it’s difficult. I really don’t know how I will feel about being back in London full time… I mean the initial thought of it is great! Then I think about the grey sky and rain.. and cold and it literally sends a shiver down my spine… Guess we’ll have to just wait and see what happens.
I’ll let you know more when I do…
But for now… ‘Hi’ from Hanoi!

Flying the coop!
India has been Tuuuuuuuuffffff! With a Capital Tu.
I wish I was in a better mind set to have appreciated it more, but when you are working, it ain't easy… even less easier when you’re working with a bunch of beep beep beeeeep beeeeeeeppppppssssssss… if you get my drift… lol
Actually there’re not all that bad, but I guess I can say that now that I AM LEAVING!!!!! Maybe I shouldn’t start gloating too soon… after all I have yet to board the plan, oh and then there’s the little matter about finding out where my next assignment will be… India??? :-o lol
India is soooooo beautiful, and I’m glad I took it upon myself to make sure I got out of the hell hole that is Gurgoan, to experience even just a bit of it… It was awesome to get out to the rural areas and see the green, clean and smog free India… topped off by the fact that I was able to hang out with relatives that I hadn’t seen for over 20 years! Not to mention all the wildlife…
Pigs, Snakes, Donkeys, Camels, Bats, Spiders, Cows, Bulls, Monkeys, Dogs, peacocks… hmmmm…. Have I forgotten anything… probably?!
But never mind all that I have a trip home, home… as in LONDON! Before I have to even start thinking about that… I will miss Singapore and Nev, and it sucks that I’ll only be back home (Singapore) for 4 days before I have to depart my beloved… but that’s, I’m afraid the way the cookie crumbled. Hopefully will be able to give my suitcase a bit of a rest once I’m back from the Big Smoke… If the company I’m working for lives up to my expectations (very, very low) that will more than likely be the case.
So watch this space for the next up date….
And if any of you are going to be in and around London, last week July – first week Aug… be sure to give me a shout!
