Mid afternoon on Thursday, I was beginning to ponder how I could spend my weekend. Perhaps I could make some ice cream. Oh how things had changed by Friday evening. By mid-afternoon we had been called to a tender interview on Tuesday morning - a little harsh from the timing perspective. But then, as the Dodgess would say, "What to do?". Soon after my Saturday morning was consumed with the compilation of the presentation with our client.
So I stayed late on Thursday, so that we could spend our Friday afternoon reviewing them before Saturday. Except that I spent Saturday afternoon poking my nose around another potential project instead. This one has a whole 4 weeks until its completion. So now I think that I will spend my Saturday morning putting them together, my Saturday afternoon changing them, and then Sunday looking through this new job.
In other work news, well, I have somehow ended up as AECOM Singapore's Quality Manager. Not sure this was entirely my intention - but we will see where it goes. My work in Vietnam, which has been more or less on hold since my manic 3 trips there in 5 weeks in June, has resurfaced, so I guess that I will be back in Vietnam in November.

Perhaps I notice them because the Singapore Grand Prix was but 3 weeks ago, but I have to say that our new neighbourhood certainly has its fair share of 'super' cars. For example, this morning I was passed by a Porshe, on my way to get on the bus. Then by a Masaratti Quattro Porta. And then a not too unsubtle Lambourghini sailed passed. All within 3 minutes. Of course that doesn't take into account the Ferrari that sits at the end of the row of houses opposite mine.
Ah well - we don't really live on Singapore's millionaires row, not really even the number 2 place. But such cars are the consequence of living in a neighbourhood with so many traditional houses. (Incidentally, that's not we have at all - we have a 3 bed flat)

Anyway, it's Friday night, getting quite late, and I need to go and eat. So until I next find the time......
