I’m off to Singapore, AGAIN! This is my 10th time to fly there for work. It does seem like a lot but there are some people at the office that fly to ten different countries every month. I’ve been up all night trying to finish all the project documentation, preparing for presentations and all the usual stuff. Serves me right for leaving everything to the last minute. To keep me awake and concentrating on my work, I like to put on a movie and listen to it. Since yesterday afternoon, I watched all 5 Star Wars films again. Like a review before seeing EP3. Another thing that kept me busy was cleaning my place. I like to come back from a trip to a clean apartment. My friend says doing that is bad luck, usually people don’t do the dishes because they know they can do them later but cleaning your apartment sends this vibe out there saying you may not come back. I don’t know if I believe that. But just in case, I left a little mess.

I was wondering whether I should advertise here in the public domain that I will be out of my apartment for a few weeks. You never know who may try to rob my place. But I set up a motion sensor webcam and have all the security turned on so it should be alright. Another thing that concerns me is whether I should keep posting things here while I’m away. This is after all a “My Life in Japan” blog so if I start talking about non-Japanese stuff, will that seem out of place and alienate people? Well, I’ll worry about that later.

I’m so beat from work over the last two weeks that the first thing I’m gonna do when I arrive at Changi Airport is jump in a cab and go straight to get a massage in Chinatown.
