so it's nearly the end of my second week in sing. it's still friggin hot. although it has rained a whole lot lately. which gives the weather a sort of steam room effect. but there seem to be lots of very good looking oriental ladies wandering around. so it kinda evens itself out i guess. which is good. women are good. men are bad. i think. it feels like every arbitrary dude i walked past could knock me the fuck out with a bruce-lee-roundhouse-fly-kick to the head and a "wataaaaaaaahh". must fight like dragon. breathe in. breathe out. wax on. wax off. paint the house. scary man.

ja... so that's about it for this week. although i did get invited to the nomura asia equity forum on wednesday. by a very nice saffa dude who's name is daniel. although we call him niel. not sure why. just because, i guess. never really did get to the bottom of it. 

anyway the conference was good. and great for my mandatory cpd (continued professional development) hours. and interesting. we talked about the global financial crisis. it's not looking good folks. time to hang in there and hope for the best. weather the storm. the food was nice though. and very expensive. japanese fruit. fifty times the price of normal fruit apparently. goddamn those peasants starving to death in the 3rd world. lets eat fuck off expensive strawberries and talk about their problems. and look at the good looking oriental ladies. gotta love it man. god bless the bourgeois. thank allah i'm one of them.

oh yeah... and also i got to have a personal audience with the minister mentor. impressed? you should be. he's kinda like singapore's nelson mandela. cross mr miyagi. he ruled the country from 1959 - 1990, overseeing the rise and rise of singapore. bright chap actually. very charismatic. some of his better sayings (africa take note):

• the western world may accuse us if not being democratic, daniel son. of restricting opposition political parties, daniel son. but no-one can accuse anyone in government of being corrupt, of being fraudulent, of cheating or stealing, daniel son. and if you do, i'll sue you, daniel son. 
• if we in the government make a mistake, daniel son, it is because we made a mistake, daniel son. no-one profited from that mistake, daniel son. 
• what we don't want to create, daniel son, is a situation where the people expect to get something for doing nothing, daniel son.
