AND THEY SURFACE...

Been reminded by many, many people that we have been MIA for a bit, and we're sorry. We were initially swamped by the elections (Yes, the PAP won, 66.6 per cent) and the hullabaloo that comes with one. It was utter madness for about two weeks, which is ironic considering that I was not even IN the elections team. Strangely, I still managed to get recalled for election stories all campaign week. Ah well. Gotta say, I had a real blast at the Opposition rallies, some real characters show up for those, armed with ice-cream and Tiger beer.. real fiesta kinda feel to it, strangely enough... Of course, just after the elections came the frenzied rush to 1) Get the house back in some kind of order, 2) Try and bang out all the stories that I had pushed back because I was helping with the elections 3) Try and pretend we actually have a life. Which sorta brings us to today. So much has happened and not sure where to start... Ling and Lu and now comfortably settled in California, and trying to find a house. For some reason or the other, the airline, however, managed to lose Luna (the dog) in transit between Singapore and the US. She was eventually found somewhere in Frankfurt though, and has finally found her way to Irvine. Gnat is finishing up her final days at work and will leave for Minnesota next month. She'll be living there the WHOLE year while Gene does some kind of attachment with Mayo, which is great for them, but we'll miss em so... There's word that some of the old SPH/Blue Cow gang might make in here in June, and some others in August, which will be absolutely fab. Gwen (Pete's sister), Andy and Lorcan have also decided to come to Singapore in August so that will be a real blast as well. We can't wait! On the TeamWilliams front, no major major updates. We're very much looking forward to our next vacation, which we hope will be in Vietnam in July... check out HCM, crash on a beach on the coast, eat lots of Pho.. God, getting hungry just thinking about it. Pete's been real busy with work, doing some of his superswish design work.. Its all a big secret right now, so you're gonna have to check in again to see the finished product :) Okay, so now that I have got the blog rolling again, promise there's be more to come... SOON! Art
