Catch Up
It is JUST WRONG for a so-called Australian bar in Singapore to not play Australian music on Australia Day. YYMV over what Australian music is, but even if it had just been Men at Work on a loop (just kidding), it would have been at least something, ya know?

Work and work has been keeping the days quite packed. Belatedly I've realized that my day job will soon be getting to the point I won't exactly have a lighter schedule during school holidays, not if I'll be leading adult tours more often now. Training has been almost constant. What gets me miffed is that I'm not losing weight even though I'm walking all over the place. It is NOT FAIR.

Layout for the field guide is going at a good speed. It's nice that we found the perfect font. We had to pay for it (not too much), but it is worth every penny. It is in fact a bit amusing that I once looked at an old newspaper in a museum and said, "I want to print something in that font face one day" and I think this is it. We in fact have the option to make "s"s in the text look like "f"s, you know, THAT font (except we're not going that far).

Singaporeans get an unexpected mention in an article on the Organic Consumers website: Who Loves Junk Food the Most: U.K., USA, or Canada?

I thought I had more to cover in this post but it's slipped my mind. Ah well, back to work.

Happy Belated Australia Day :)

I don't think the causes of weight retention are fully known. I know that's not the popular FatBashing view but I don't care.

No Aussie music, in an Aussie bar, on Australia day? What were they thinking? :P

Hey Janet, sorry to attack your LJ, but are you still doing any website work? I sent a couple of emails recently but I'm not sure if you got them. If you aren't, do you know anyone else with your awesome skills you could recommend?
