It's in the news all over, and particularly in SIngapore, every day i skim the papers and it's pages and pages of reports on the climate change. it's raging hot and humid and no one is spared the discomfort of sweating like a pig. Our air conditioned shopping malls and train stations aren't enough. And last night, there was torrential rain.

I was pretty disturbed by the article on the man in the UK with a foot trapped in the drain and drowned and reading more about the floods. Hasn't summer come round already on the other side of the world? Al gore is making his way around the world talking about environmentalism and recently made a stop in Milano to talk at the opening of Fabrica's Les yeux ouvert at the milano triennale, where my friends were fortunate enough to see him Live.

I'm going to visit the newater plant near my house and find out how the country recycles sewage water for consumption. All water from the tap is potable and i never think twice about drinking it straight from the tap, ocassionally i remember it's sewage water, treated via sophisticated processes of osmosis and of course all the chemicals and what not that goes into it.

Still, drinking poo water isn't a pleasant thought. I will go find out more and blog about it.

Sorry for the long absence! wow T looks like you're on an extensive holiday! I just got back from 6 days in bangkok visiting some thai friends. the political situation isn't half as bad as the media makes it out to be, but there is alot of reshuffling and anxiety in the city post- thaksin. some friends are supporters for the latter and we got some calls reguarding mobs storming the city, but most of it was largely a false alarm.

So, within the span of weeks, I've quit my job and am enjoying some time to do some writing I most enjoy and catching up with some sleep. Taking on some freelance assignments and deciding what to do with myself. An existential crisis at 26!

Otherwise, the weather is hot and humid in singapore as usual with nothing spectacular in the news apart from the current global warming debate and situation in thailand at the moment.

i'm finishing up some work for the droog competition on global warming. nothing else on this front.

Hope you're enjoying your time globe trotting!
