Headless chook

The past month has been hectic to say the least. Work commitments have had me running around like a headless chicken. I barely have time for anything, besides rushing back to the office inbetween meetings to check, answer and clear the endless emails. I am truly amazed at how much the company expects us to do. There isn't enough time for everything and even with the use of after hours to clear work, things still seem to be piling up. Sigh... so tiring.

Enuff of work though, on another note... my dear black monster has been covered in grime for weeks and I feel so guilty for not having the time to shampoo, wash, wax, shine and vacuum my baby. Well its been over a month since I got my car back from the shop after the bloody fool who rammed me up the ass. Everything seems fine but the damn workshop still owes me several parts and no news! Worse still, the damn insurance company still hasn't reimbursed me for the increased premium they charged me because of an idiot who doesn't know what brakes are for. Oh but the new Grand Vitara is here and the new third generation RAV4 is on its way here. Not that I'm off to pick one up, but Mmmmm I think a weekend test drive when I have the time is in order very soon. Sadly, I haven't got any driving buddies left to go along and have some fun.

I really miss the long driving holidays I used to have in Australia. It's just no fun here in Singapore. Sure I have a great car for those long journeys now compared to my trusty old 1980 honda civic back in Sydney, but now I haven't the long road trips to take. I'd love to drive up through to Malaysia, but with so many nasty stories from friends who've made trips up north, it's something I don't fancy doing unless I can go with a whole group of like minded friends. Guess the road trips will have to wait until I head over to Canada. I'm already thinking about where the wife and I can drive to. I think one of the first places will have to be to the snow, Go Whistler! Mmmmm the shredding and the lovely sound of fresh powder under my snowboard. I have to go on another holiday. Haha Yeah I know. Haven't I been away enough already this year. But seriously... NO! It's never enough. Sure I enjoy being home, but also so love being on holiday. It's the whole idea of going away that so interests me. Well I can dream about it. I haven't the time at this moment and I don't see my schedule easing any time soon, but it's great to think about where I'll go off to next to keep me sane.

I think I'd be interested to head to scotland next. I could rent a car... there'll be opportunities to have some fantastic driving and the landscape will be so different from what I'm used to. Mmmm holiday. Now I just need to keep my head on for another 3 months and I'll be safe. I'll be off on holiday. *Smiles*
