Combine business with pleasure!
In a couple of hours the plane to Phuket, Thailand is departuring from Changi Airport, Singapore. For three days, me and my group will work on a group project and hopefully finish it by the time when we are going back. It remains to be seen whether this will be a sucessful way of working or just another excuse for travelling around this beautiful continent. I will know that for sure in a few days...

What have Fernando Alonso, Mariah Carey and Richard Branson in common?
A busy weekend has come to its end. After three swooshing evenings I can finally withdraw the earplugs as the Formula One Singtel Singapore Grand Prix has come to an end. Fernando Alonso became the lucky winner while the Virgin team of Richard Branson's did not perform as good as expected and Mariah Carey fell when performing, perhaps because of all that extra weight she seemed to be carrying around her belly.
Singapore actually did what it do best. Showing off in front of the world. With lighted skyscrapers, amazing stage performances and a wonderful city atmosphere the Grand Prix cannot be seen as nothing else but a huge sucess. While Missy Elliott and Adam Lambert rocked the grand stage, Sean Kingston and his crew made women underwear flying all over his. The Singapore prime minister (the short and thin haired guy you always see smiling in Sing news) seemed to be very proud when handing over the winner's trophy to Alonso and his mechanic team manager and you could not really notice anything of that serious face he had earlier this month when talking about Singapore's part in the financial crisis.

Me and Pete on race day
Finally, while yearning for the weekend to come I will just try to do some shotting on my own, the Swedish style...Me and Pete on race day
After a nice recess week reality suddenly hits you like a KO in a boxing game. Tons of assignments to hand in and loads of texts to rehearse before presentations are parts of the unbecoming truth. However, Friedrich Nietzshe once upon a time expressed,
"For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks".
So it is just to hang in there and perform your best every day. Work hard and reward yourself for doing good, or at least for trying your best. A day will come when life rewards you for being patient and tenacious.

Nick report: That's right Ali, that was Bali!
Back from a wonderful place and I already miss the natives and their laid back everyday mood! If your name is Ali and you are a muslim you do not have a lot to boast now on Bali since it is a major Hindu country. We actually accompanied a new friend of ours to a Hindu temple the last day to prey and honour the Hindu gods since it was Por Nama (full moon). That was a sweet experience! Btw, does anyone know what the procedure is like to become a Swedish citizien? Dedi, in the back of the picture, would be a huge success to a Swedish restaurant and I will definitly look into that when I am back in Swaziland!
After trying some Jet Ski, snorkling and surfing we went on to try the parasailing. It was a thrilling feeling to take of from ground behind a boat and freely fly across the beach and its surroundings! I just felt a little bit nervous when I almost hit another parasailer but here I am, still alive! :)
The funniest days where those of surfing (but also the most painful!). I have been dreaming nightmares for three nights in a row when I see waves coming towards me, creepy! In the end, I barely made it up to balance a short while on the board just to find myself inside the wave a few seconds later..
And at last, for all of you who are proud of Absolute Vodka for being a international and famous brand! There are several ways to use it, some less honorable then others...

Our favourite restaurant in Nusa Dua, Pointe, next to Grand Hyatt. Beautiful place with a lovely work crew!

Premiär i norr!
Haggelito från förorten här för att uppdatera läget i orten. Bloggen behövde lite fler läsare så varför inte skriva om skit som folk älskar? Juste, Hässelbyinnebandy.
Imorgon bär det av mot Sundsvall i en trevlig 5 timmars bussresa med den starka 12 mana truppen och den feta klacken som ska bära fram oss mot en seger mot norrlänningarna. Det kommer bli tufft, vi kommer kanske svettas lite, det kommer bli blod. Men va fan, om ett lag får 500 gånger pengarna på seriesegern så är det bara lägga in ett par tusen, ge allt! Då kanske innebandy kan vara en sport som man kan livnära sig på.
Kriga är något vi från förorten gör varje dag så varför inte imorgon.
Alla som är skadade Kunc, Lidde, Arden och ni andra som har krämpor. Fan ta er i kragen och bli friska!
165 norrland sen hem!

Bali roundtrip!
Fifth day on Bali and back in Kuta for the second time. We spent the whole day on Kuta beach trying to catch some of those waves, awesome! It looks easier than it actually is! No time to upload photos since we are heading out soon but the pictures will be here... soon..!
We have spent two days on the road with just our backpacks and motorbikes at hand but are now happy to be somewhere safe and crowded. Or at least was that what we thought when we arrived. After one hour in Kuta me and Peter got stoped by the police, for the second(!) time this week. We got fines for both driving without helmet and international driving license.... but we bribed him with some of the Indo gees we had so everything worked out just fine and we could carry on. However, on the road we visited Amed and Tulamben and dived and snorkled around the US liberty shipwreck, that was really cool. We damaged our bikes and made a new friend somewhere in the djungle. Agus (our new friend) invited us to his lovely shed and we shared some strange cake with his mother... See the videoblog from the shed next week! The short version of the trip =)
More will come.. Some pics from google from Kuta beach, Tulamben and Nusa Dua where we are going tomorrow! So loooong people!
