Our monster round the world trip is starting. Mike is marrying Angel, which we’re all very excited about. The wedding is in Houston, TX so we’re having to fly the wrong way (east) round the world, and as the US is almost the UK, we’re poping over to visit the family.

Home sweet (adopted) home, but after that trip, we’ll be in need of a holiday!

Al turns 30 today. Glad you made it this far mate! Many happy returns.

I had a drink on your behalf, from a nice bar overlooking the twin towers. Very nice

Steve, Erika and I poped over to Cambodia for the weekend - fly in on Friday lunchtime, all day saturday and back again on Sunday - to climb some temples and watch some sunsets.

As always, more photos in the FlickrStream

My brother has flown out to visit - yay! A few days of relaxing, a quick dash to Cambodia to show him the temples, a few more days of relaxing, then a quick dash to Singapore for some friday night drinkies then back to KL for a Sunday roast with mates. Another week of relaxing then back home.

And all this time, I’ve got to be spending time in the office! Not fair!

One of my best mates Mike turns 30 today. Best birthday wishes mate, looking forward to Nov!

… Indeed I do.

Following multiple requests from multiple people for a photo, here’s a couple from last weekend when we attended Abbida and Rafiq’s wedding.

Finally got my vistitors visa approved. I’m now legal till the middle of January.

5:30am txt’s from Sian (waking me up) asking me to call EMB at 4:45am to wake him up. Aren’t timezones wonderful?

I’m pleasantly surprised. Who would have thunk it?

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
