March ended up pretty mundane and boring. Ever since the weekend away on the beach in Torquay, it's been work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. Throw in the occasional drink and a couple of easter bunny chocolates, along with the obligatory church services and that's been the past few weeks in summary. Probably never realised this until one night catching up with Cze-Hui, the conversation revolved around what's been happening in her life the past few weeks. Then when asked what's news with me, I struggled to think of anything newsworthy to report back.
I guess there is one thing: I have a PS3. Ha! How hilarious is that. Well technically it's Julius' but I'll claim it as my own little baby. It came as his birthday gift, the idea concocted by his girlfriend, and the willingness to fund this grand scheme by several people. It's funny how whenever you think of gifts to give to family members, you always think, "what could I use/want/need that I can pass off as a present for Mum/Dad/Julius". Voila! Hello, PS3.
And it looks like the Tibet part of my forthcoming adventure looks to be in jeopardy. Intrepid's cancelled the tour I'm doing up until June. I don't see how anything will die down until the Olympics in August which leaves two months before I set off for problems to ease. Needless to say, it's not something worth betting on. I feel for Tibet. I want the separatist movement, as the Chinese so dramatically put it, to succeed and force China to give them back independence. Yet the selfish me wants the PLA to hurry up and accomplish the more likely scenario of crushing the rebellion, so things settle down and I can go. Assuming the latter takes place, I guess going there is still risky. After all, I am Chinese. I should probably first get a custom-made T-shirt to wear whilst in Tibet which reads "I am not Chinese so please don't beat me up."
At least Nepal looks stable. But then their elections are coming up I think... Crap...
