Well i am loving it(also McDonalds taste better here, they must wash thier hands), my dad is ok, went to the asia cyber games thing, Met trixie from xbox.com, and her goons, video monkey and hooper(something), and two external-corporat types. I also saw the master chief, and i was taller, hahahahahahahahaha. I saw some new maps for Halo 3 and some making of footage. I left my dad to do his own thing as i wondered around, and he got fracking interviewd by the BBC, and only told me as we walked out the door. Anyway China won the DorA Championship for the 360. No Burnout stuff, but did see a copy of Revenge in a Store and it had different artwork, on the back, which made it look like it had different tracks to the one we used. By the way i'm in at internet cafe, so i am just doing a quick type up. Anyway it is like home for me here, so i'm happy. Talk soon.

Re: Suffur in Singapore
As Zombie said, Mc Donalds in Norway is much better than anywhere else I've tried it. I tried Mc Donalds in USA and that was junk! I had one bite and threw the rest way... and what I didnt throw a way I almost threw up! Anyway... sounds like you're having a good time. Looking forward to reading your next postcard :-)

Singapore Sling.
Well after i did my blog i had to rush to meet up with my dad, and he got me drunk, on Tiger beer and wine, and we started to talk about me and my commitment to having a real life, to say the least it was entertaining. I forgot to say i met Clive James(aussie on the BBC) at Heathrow, and then Trixie at the Asia World Games, with Video Monkey and Hooperman, i think, Trixie was cool, and did not seem to be evil as Major Nelson and e make out, i found her pleasent and (sorry) nice and easy to talk to, can't say much for the Hooper, he seemed to think i was infatuated was Trixie, making sidelong glances at me. Yes i felt like a little boy gamer, but when Trixie said i should get my picture taken with the (midget) Master Chief, i said, i play the game, not lived it, or words to that effect, which then made the conversation awkward as these guys were Halo lovers. Don't piss off people from Microsoft, by slighting the Chief or Halo, Lesson 1, lol. I had a very quick look at Video Monkeys video camera, and he said he mostly captured to memory card which seemed cool, nice camera too. I have to say the Asia Games show was cool, small venue, but it had a lot of coverage, with several, TV stations there including the BBC, they even interviewed my dad, who is not a gamer, but does have 5 children, who do play games. I said it was his fault for getting a Atari 2600, he used to stay up late to play, Space invaders and Pinball, me i played from that moment on, though my first gaming experience was Pong, then the cloned Apple 2c or was it e. But everyone in Singapore, seemed to know about the games. It took 20 mins to find a parking space and 10 mins to get out. I only stayed at the games for about 1/2 an hour as it was that small. Games for windows i think is quite strong here as well as hand helds, the DS and PSP. The Wii is also selling well as its a group play thing. The 360 and PS3, seemed to only be sold to the tourists, yes people i thought of buying another XBox, but there is no internet connection at the apartment, (there is really but dad (i found it on the back of his digi box, which surprized him) was not impressed with the idea, plus he is giving me the cash to go out on the streets). I found out one of my old hang outs with drinking buddies, is acctual the red light district of Singapore, a place called Orchard Towers, may be he would not mind me spending money there, lol. No i am not that type of guy, sorry no sordid details from me. Anyway have visited my old schools and 1 of my old houses, and have managed to find some old school friends via the school web site, meeting one of them hopefully next week for a drink. Spent yesterday in the pool and also went to Shaw House to see the Shaw Brothers, as i met them when i was 8, but the receptionist chased me away. They don't make film anymore they just handle the distrabution of movies. Dvd copies are easy to get hold of, but i went to HMV and have found the Matrix in HD as well as other titles. Blue Dragon is out here for the 360 as well as some other games that need a Chinese Dictionary to play, but until i find an Xbox LAN cafe, i'm not going to be able to play anything. Most people here play Warcraft here in this cyberdome, not WOW, this game is like an overhead version of Cannon fodder, but using WOW stuff it wierd, but very fast paced. Anyway i'm off to search for XBox 360 players or at least a place where they meet. So see ya soon.

Still looking for a place to play, a 360
I have looked all over for a place that runs 360's in a LAN or internet formate and found nothing so far. I spoke to my brother in Aussie and he goes to is cousins house to play and i found out he is a Halo 2 Glitcher, so if i do see him, i'm going to spank the little turd. Anyway, having fun roaming the Singapore underground, i even went up Singapore's last mountain(if you can call it that, more like a hill) to watch the Nations birthday parade and fireworks show. Anyway nice to see the site has picked up some new bloggers, and members. Cya all.

Singapore docklands/ where everyone knows your Name, 'ZOMBIE'
Zombie, i am at the docklands/shipyards, and like Cheers, everyone knows YOUR name, this is where they build boats, do conversions, to supertankers, oil rigs, the navy etc. And did i say everyone knows YOUR name Zombie. Even my dad works here, did the ship walk the other day, which was cool, in dry dock and it was huge, they are 7 dry docks here most capable of holding a super tanker or two. Is that why they all know YOUR name Zombie, did you leave your dry dock here? Anyway got up early on a saturday to come into the office to catch some of you on line and guess what i just missed some of you by an hour, that sucks, saying that they all seem know YOUR name Zombie. Anyway since the original gang are offline to sleep, i'll go check out some more wide open spaces and the men that make them work and fill them up. LOL Soppy stuff to all, though less to the men.

Memories of Dockside
I fondly remember the many weeks I spent in the Far East Dockside honing my Burnout skills. Ofcourse I made a few friends while I was there :-) I am glad they still remember me!

I been playing Forza, yawn. And Blue Dragon.
Well here in Singapore, there are a lot of PODS, if you don't know what a POD is, ur stupido. In these pods Forza seems to be the most poular game so at every pod i play a couple of tracks, Mapple and Nissan speed way , and have got my times down quite low, not that i like the game, my computer driver normaly does that work for me at home, it only keeps the best times for the day but i spend my full 20 mins on the game, yes you're restricted to time on the pods here if someone else want to have a go. I played Blue Dragon and Ratatoi, the Pixar Disney thing, good film but the game gets frustrating. I have visited over 6 POD sites and fought off small children to get a go.
I have watched a lot of movies, Evan Almighty almost made me cry, it was so sentimentle. I met up with an old school friend who seems to be doing well over here, but her BF, works for the Mircosoft, so i have asked to get, yes, wait for it, "Hooked Up", to use the Zombism. Cool thing was that she was in Bangkok last week getting a Boob job, and i was the only one who said something, they were sweet, and if her BF reads this, i am a grown man with eyes and it's nice to be polite about peoples assets, he was said to have been stowked(happy, very)( i don't think i spelled that right but i'll learn for next time). Sad thing i heard at the meet up is that she took the 360 back to Bangkok as her son stopped playing outside, being addicted to the Xbox, so i could not play still #$%$$#@@#$$%$##@$%$%%. Any way i have seen many, many, Sony Galleries, which show of Sony stuff, even played on a PS3, sorry but its the gamer in me, and i saw a Samsung super store today, which is sweet, massive digital TVs all in HD.
Anyway going to find out what addiction points mean, and when i say Forza i mean Forza 2. Till next time cya.
