conned!

I've been so conned. Winter in London is rain. And rain. And delayed London Underground services and buses with timetables of the KL buses - none. More rain. Black nose boogers. And more rain.

Whatever happened to snow-covered footpaths and fluffy flakes in my hair (not the dandruffy kind)?

I'm returning to Malaysia-lah!





















... for two weeks. I still love London and all she has to offer. Unless, of course, snow covers London when I'm back in Malaysia and melts when I'm back in London.

Then I shall HULKRAGE.

greetings

Happy New Year to my faithful blog readers! Yes, the three of you should know who you are. I am now back at work, and "at" is the most apt description because it denotes physical presence and not necessarily mental. The final few days of holidays I couldn't wait to get into work with renewed vigour, but now that I am at it my engines seem to have iced over in the numbing cold. Thaw, dammit, thaw. Or else the Bossman will have my skin when he's back.

My new year celebration was a nice and cosy one, surrounded by loved one(s) and fluffy pets and 3 different boardgames (intellectual innit) at Jos and Marjanne's in Heeze (a small town south of Eindhoven). The fireworks at midnight were surprisingly Chinese New Year-ish too, with neighbours all standing outside on the streets greeting each other and the smell of gunpowder in the air...

Had a very auntifying New Year's Day walking the dog in the nearby woods for 5km. My toes are still blistered. But good company always make up for physical discomfort. Come see more pictures!

What's your celebration like?
