Surrender for your checkup!!!

Whatever happened to 'Ya names not down, ya not comin in!!!!'

I figured this a bit on the 'harsh' side! A full body search *sound of rubber gloves 'thwaaackin' into place* doesnt appeal...just to go have a beer and a boogie!
This wasnt anything other than a typical nightclub. Nothing flash, exclusive or out of the ordinary.
Needless to say, I didnt go in !!!

Jesus loves you....even if AstroBoy doesnt!!!

"AstroBoy, a hero to thousands, no, hundreds of thousands around the world today announced that he is officially boycotting Xmas.
Faced with media scrutiny, AstroBoy was typically tight-lipped, but allowed his actions to speak for themselves."

I found this outside the AstroBoy shop @ Bugis Junction Shopping Centre. I had to take the shot. I dont know if staff put AB in this position, or he was shipped like this, but it made me laugh.

Xmas is Coming - Yeee Har!

So I've finally had a minute or two to look up and take stock!! Its been a really really full on 6 weeks, or should I say 6 months!! and I'm now taking this weekend to plan out Xmas and New Year.

I have some work/meetings in Tokyo on/around 20th December and will stay on in Japan to hook up with a few mates, spend a few days in Tokyo sightseeing and then head up to the snow and have a White Xmas :)

Niseko, Hokkaido is the destination of choice, its is supposed to have some of the best dry powder snow in the world (do I sound like I know what I'm talkin bout?!)
But, in the meantime, its all about getting presents ready and off for the folk back home (nieces and nephew) and planning the trip.

I was out on Orchard Road the other night (gotta love the 7 day late night shopping!!) looking for some pressies, and took these shots.






The lights are absolutely amazing, but thats what S$5million can get ya!!! The cab drivers think its a disgrace and they dont mind tellin you about it!.

Up above the clouds

A photo I discovered on my camera probably from the flight back from London.
Thought it was *nice* so here it is for your pleasure :)
Sharing is caring!!!

Does it feel real to you?

So what seems like an age ago I blogged about some good news. The proposal to O'Reilly to publish a book co-authored by Matt Voerman and I was accepted, and now look whats happened!!!!

So, I'll be taking orders soon ;) Best we get the book wrapped up now!
It was a bit of a buzz and also a little 'scary' to see the on shelf date as July 1st.
