I'm back

Hi y'all. I've not updated for a while, I've been well busy at work and well lazy at home......

So what have I been up to? Had a nice Italian (meal) last night. It's the one by mainland china, I saw it when we went to Lush first of all. Simon has been a couple of times and said that the ravioli is to die for, so we went and most of us had ravioli, I chose a bacon and onion tomato sauce for mine, and it was to die for. mmm mmm mmm.
I got tiramasiu for pudding which wasn't very nice. Alex got cheesecake, you know that he has an aversion to cheese. I chose this time to break the news that cheesecake is made from cheese, needless to say he didn't enjoy it...hee hee hee!

There were 9 of us and we got in 3 tuk tuks to drive home. We decided that we would race, my tuk tuk was the guy from pune central with the boom box in the back, the trip was crazy.

We were the last to set off but overtook the other 2 tuk tuks on Koregan Park and we were in the lead until Steve overtook us. we were right on their tail when we got to the bumpy part of the road near our apartments. Our driver went for a death-defying take over move but we hit a bump just as the othe tuk tuk hit a bump and we colided....there was no actual crash or anything, but it was really funny, Gav was holding on to the side of the tuk tuk and nearly lost his hand....

On Thursday after work we went to Curve at ABC farms we were lured in by the wood burning pizza oven. Me and Carl got pizza caroline got some stuffed jalapenos and oxley got some stuffed chicken. After we'd finished all that we got some paner tikka, it was totally divine, paneer is my new favourite thing.
When the check came it had our food and 37 beers and it was only 3650 rs (about £43) you can't go wrong.

Last saturday when Ben, Carl and Caroline arrived we went to the Ship for a quite night as they were on the tired side. We had beers and cocktails and they had the steak and then we went back to our apartment at closing time. We listened to my cheesy music and partied till about 5am.
Needless to say that we did not fully appreciate the Meridian buffet the next day due to our hangovers.
We hadn't booked any cars for Sunday so we walked to the end of our road to get a tuk tuk to the hotel. There were none, the first time ever there wasn't any waiting. We started to walk towards ABC farms where there are usually tuk tuks. we got half way there, walking in the searing heat of the midday sun, and fortunately a tuk tuk came by and stopped what a relief.

I've just booked my holiday. As I'm here for so long I have to take a weeks break. Work will pay for a flight home or elsewhere. I've booked to go to Singapore for a week. I've booked my hotel and a morning glory ming river boat ride. I'm going to go on a duck tour (amphibious truck) and a cable car ride to Sentosa Island and I'm also going to see if I can get a cheap flight to Kuala Lumpur for a day trip, the cheapest I#ve seen so far is £141.

I've had a nice chilling day today. Julie and Kerry have had to go into work so I've been able to stay home and not suffer another forced shopping trip. I've watched Kelly's Heroes and ordered in a pizza hut. cool. today I got a 4 small pan pizzas in a box. I got 2 paneer tikka masala a haryali chicken and a chicken tikka for 282 rs, delicious.

Georg has come down from Mumbai for the weekend today along with some folks from cardiff. there's also some new guys coming and some old guys returning. Not sure what's happening tonight.........but there'll be drink!
