Sunny Stockholm

It was a busy week for me. I've been working late almost everyday, which annoys me since my wife is home alone and I can't spend time with her or bring her out. Whoever says working in western country is easier, has never worked in a western country. Either that, or they're not working in Accenture. It was so bad, I had to work on Saturday too. I also have Swedish class in the morning. So, after spending 3 hours twisting my tongue and lips trying to sound Swedish, I had to rush to project site to continue my work. The only consolation is when my class ended, it was sunny and everything seems calm and beautiful.

I have to start recognizing things in Swedish. My wife pointed out amusingly that I'm practically back to "kindergarten" or "pre-school" again.

After learning the basic of constructing a sentence, I now know Yoda is Swedish.
 
 
Clear blue skies, the sun shining brightly on old buildings, casting shadows everywhere, people coming out for a stroll with their family, friends or pets. It was very nice.

 

 

 
Too bad, I got to go back to work. So, rushed off after class so that I don't have to stay late even on Saturday. It's hard to focus at work when I think of my wife at home alone. At the same time, as part of the team, I want to help the project as well. Especially during crunch time. I'll just do whatever I can today. Sunday is mine.
 
 
This is where the project site is, Rissne.

 

 
 
 
My wife knows I'll be rushing back to work after class. So she packed me lunch. Sprinkled with lots of love.

 
 
 
Reached home slightly after 10pm today.
 
Sucks.
 
But nice dinner waiting for me at home.
 
Bliss.

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...

Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
