I'm warmed by the fact that there are so many people who are keeping tabs on me... Through MSN, tagging, email etc. I'm really really warmed. What's Esther and Zak doing up at 3.41 am?

Two ships have pulled up in the riverside directly outside my house. It's cute to watch the neon clad gentlemen run around on the deck trying to move things around.

I started doing it in Singapore when I went back a lot,
Mostly out of curiousity to see their reaction,
But also to see if i couldn't elicit a smile?
I've done it 3 times now.

Tomorrow I shall add to the mark.

Please dont think I'm mad.
