Extreme traffic, stressing out changing Rands to dollars @ JHB international as the Chinese currency isn't available ... We found a not too glamorous bar call the Shebeen. Xin-Wen is meeting some friends here who owe her some money. I' having a brutal fuit. Alcohol make me sleepy during the day, which is the point.....long flight ahead. Got up @ 04:00 this morning and went for a short run.
Hopefully I'll get a SIM card in Hong Kong that can be used on my Phone. I bumped into Eddie Westraadt in PE, looking rather pleased with himself...he's on his way to the Grand Prix in Malaysia. He was with two other friends one of whom I recognized from a photo he used to have on his office wall.

Our flight leaves at 12:20.
When I phoned Mom, she was at the Casino...squandering my inheritance ... Only jokes... There is *no* inheritance ... He he...why am I laughing...oh yea I'm drinking alcohol ....

Wouldn't you know it... a few days before I leave to go on holiday and I get the flu... Hardly slept last night. Flu (actually just a minor cold) has been going around so it was just a matter of time. Anyway...seem to be moving through the phases quickly, you know...first the nose starts, then coughing, then the sore throat, I went through the whole thing in two days...must be a weak strain. Doping on extra Vitamin C and antioxidents plus paracetalmol to drive down pyrogens in the system.

Technically I'm on leave as of this Monday but the work wants me to attend a meeting to finalise the handover of a project I was working on earlier this year.
When I get back most of the projects will be in full swing.
This last week has been hectic trying to close up all the loose ends.

Anyway..the camcorder is ready, must start packing....
