Day Trip To Melbourne - Not Highly Recommended

Melbourne is a gorgeous city. Gorgeous. But flying there and back from Singapore on a day trip comes highly, highly unrecommended. In fact, if I ever write a book called "1000 Things To Avoid Doing Before You Die" this would take up most of the first chapter.

My carbon trail looked like this:

1. 9pm Singapore time - get on the plane
2. 9.15pm Singapore time - switch off the blackberry, having received some rather compelling requests from everyone in the vicinity of my seat.
3. 6am Melbourne time - get off plane
4. 10am Melbourne time - first meeting
5. noon Melbourne time - second meeting
6. 3.30pm Melbourne time - third meeting
7. 11.50pm Melbourne time - get back on the plane
8. 6am Singapore time - get off the plane
9. 6.10am Singapore time - peel my face off the floor. What day is it?

In other news, my deal closed. In keeping with Murphy's Law, it had to close on the one solitary day I couldn't help but be out of Singapore. Damn you, Murphy's Law! *shakes fist at the sky*

In other, other news, have just realised that almost 30% of my personal wealth is tied up in expired credit card reward vouchers. I really have to do something about this.

Tied up? You mean you just lost 30% of your personal wealth. Expired vouchers have no value!
Oh well :)

Nah, she meant that her personal wealth is zero. 30% of 0 is 0 right? duh
