This week we welcome Danny from Singapore. He is a musician and teacher with Believers' Music and from my home cell back in Singapore; happens to be in the UK this week to visit his sister. As his sister is staying outside London, I offered my place for him to rest overnight before he makes his way to Surrey tomorrow. Interesting since I have mentioned that we do not have many friends visiting us and now we have our fourth in four weeks.
This has been a strange week. Although Monday was a bank holiday, I did not feel like I had a break as I spent the entire long weekend doing up macros relating to my work. And today, I went for an ex-colleague's farewell drinks as she prepares to leave for Volunteer Africa, a charitable project in Tanzania where she will spend three months with impoverished kids, teaching them English and Maths. How 伟大.
There is a weird sort of calm before the storm i.e. month end begins this Friday. No one seems to be panicking although we all know how stressful it can be. Xueyan's preparation for her CFA exams meant more time on the books and less banter with me.
All too quiet, all too strange.

Hi there,
You sound so excited over the VBA. Welcome to Controlling. Tokyo office uses a lot of macros, but apparently our London office does not encourage so. Anyway do I know this ex-colleague? Definitely sounds very meaningful.
I am not excited... just that it occupies so much of my time I had to write about it..
It's not someone from KPMG.. she is from Barclays...
