It's been a while hey. It's been busy I guess. It's rare when I actually get time to myself. Weekends are not exactly relaxing. Either I'm travelling or I'm back home trying to squeeze in as much of "seeing people" as is possible. Not to mention catching up on sleep.

What's new. Well. It looks like I may be coming to London for a couple of years after all. Rather soon actually. If all goes to plan (which I don't actually have just yet) - I would be starting semester at the end of August. No idea what money I'm actually going to survive on. In London. Renting. And not working. Hrmph. One problem at a time, I guess. Back to "starving student" thing I suppose, just in London this time. No idea what will happen with the boyfriend either.

In other news... My Thai is improving, project is getting stressful, and I'm being appraised again. I hate appraisals. Every fr**king 6 months - no matter whether you're actually there or not. Last time I got appraised in absence and was sending through my self-assessment from my "holidays" in Romania. Don't you just love the HR processes. Don't you just love the HR. I think this is my 6th appraisal... Been here just over 3 years. Long time hey. Feels like a lifetime. .. Well maybe not quite that bad. I does feel a lot longer than it actually has been.

Other news... umm.... Managed to lose some weight (*t'fu t'fu t'fu* as they say in Russian or "spit spit spit" as a literal translation to English would say. I think a lot gets lost in translation)

Moving into an apartment in Bangkok next week. Over the hotel thing. Strange though how I don't actually have an apartment back in Melbourne but do have one here. Hmm.

I should really stop procrastinating and do some work hey.
