iLife

I have just become a 21st Century human being because from today I own an iPod! It took me very long to buy one since I had to find the cheapest place on earth to buy it. Anyway, it happened in Singapore and now I am an iPerson!

Will now have to struggle to find 15000 songs to upload on the small machine. I can go jogging for 15 hours non stop listening to music and watching pictures on the small screen. Will try not to collapse during the exercising!

Am in Singapore, in this hot jungle island near the Equator. Only Dubai can be hotter than this place. At least here there are trees and lush vegetation, cafés and nice bars around. In Dubai all there is is sand, sand and sand! Tonight I fly back to Dubai, only 7 more hours of work before I can sit back and relax at home. Will actually have to prepare my flat for my parent's visit, you know, clean the toilet, rearange the magazines, wash the bed linen, pretend that everything is squeaky clean at all times!!! But I will be staying with them at a hotel! Am in desperate need of pampering and some more 5 star luxury!

This trip has been great so far. Apart from being jet lagged every day, crossing at least 3 time zones per flight I managed to go for nice walks and do some interesting shopping. The weather was great throughout, apart from Auckland. We actually sat on our jumpseats on board since the aircraft was shaking too much for us to do the service. It was rainny, windy and cold but it was good to be inside a café reading a book (am now struggling with Tolstoy's Karenina).

Miquel, my Spanish flatmate, has resigned. He will leave Dubai on the 4th of July! Quite sad news!!!

Well, will go for another walk under a 32 degree sun and 80% humidity before collapsing in my bed for the night flight to Dubai.
