  Yes, I get what you meant by that. I find it a little too political sometimes. Feel more relaxing to chat here.

  *me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
  
  I was planning on taking a 1/2 hour nap just now.
  
  I overslept the alarm and it became a 3 1/2 hour doze.

  Oh well... at least now I'll be able to do my work in the silence of the night.

  Night cycling? Is it safe to ride a bicycle in Singapore? Doesn't seem to have any rules there.

  Hey thanks!
  
  If you do come to Melbourne, let me know. May be we can catch up, together with Rhonda too. I might be meeting her for the first time next Friday, that should be good.

  I would say that it's pretty safe to cycle here.
  
  So long as you're careful, of course. Once while I was cycling along Changi Coast Road an 18-wheel trailer the size of Optimus Prime quite literally brushed against me.

  Wow, 9 years ago... that had to be the 2nd or 3rd year since F1 started in Melbourne (Albert Park), if I am not mistaken.
  
  I have been here for over 10 years now but I have never thought of going to the Grand Prix. It's the same for the Tennis (Australian Open). Rather just watch it on TV at home.
  
  I went to see the Commonwealth games (Badminton & Squash) though.

  Just make sure you wear reflective vest so that the motorists can see you.
  
  I am surprised you didn't get "sucked in" by the passing trailer. It depends on the speed though....
