2 pints and a stiff neck

That's the story of my day today. My team and I somewhat decided that we are going to abort a project - what remains is the dirty bit i.e. informing the client that we think the project stinks and we have better things to look into. Well, its more along the lines of we think continuing with the project does more harm than good to every party involved. But we still feel for the client who does not have a plan B!

Spent most of the day with a stiff neck that got worse as the day went on. Colleagues found it amusing that I walked like a robot - I didn't really see the funny side of things though. Left very early (by my standards) for drinks at a bar/lounge which is owned/run by a guy whose father is a very close friend of the father of my very close friend and the father of the guy who owns/runs the bar is the father of another son who is a superior of another close friend who works in Singapore. If I have not confused you yet, now that is a very small world! 

A much-deserved relaxing weekend

I spent a few hours this weekend exploring Technical Analysis/Charting in greater detail (than many times previously). Its not as difficult as I thought. In fact, it is fascinating! I'm also looking at buying a new golf set to get myself ready for the investment banking tournament in October. The joy of being able to finally have some free time to hangout with my girlfriend, have an ice cold Corona, catch some dvds and just sit back and relax, have some quality time to myself - akin to going away on a holiday to recuperate, without actually leaving town. I'm already looking forward to more relaxing weekends. Note to self though - must find a regular massage outlet.
