It has been almost one year since I was told I had won an opportunity to join the Saltire Foundation "mafia" and I still cannot believe the opportunities I have experienced. After helping out with the interview sessions for the next round of...

Homecoming 2010

I can’t believe that I have been home for over two weeks already. It has nearly passed as quickly as my time in Tokyo did. My body took around a week to get used to the Scottish climate again after suffering through 2 months at 35°C. The last...

Just call me Miss Marple!

After a fantastic week in Singapore once again it really will be sad to say farewell next week. To think that yesterday was my final dress down Friday was kind of scary! This week saw a lot of my projects coming to completion. I had a con-call with a...

The View From the Top of Japan

Before arriving in Tokyo, one of my personal goals was to climb Mt. Fuji and I finally achieved that on Sunday/Monday. It was a grueling effort but definitely worth it. Other notable news from the week includes dancing to the YMCA in front of 25,171 people...

It may be upwards of 30 degrees everyday, but I still managed to get a cold

Fantastic. I blame the constant changing from ice box air con to tropical heatwave every time I step in or outside. Despite the sinus-related setbacks, it was still a pretty good week. One of the highlights was Craig, Andy and I meeting up with the newly...

Delivering for DHL...

Friday 13th meets Christmas

Well I am halfway through my time in Singapore and so far it has definitely been the best experience of my life. When I was going through the application process I never thought I would get this chance but tried my hardest and it paid off. I cant thank...

'Singlish' vs 'Scotlish'

I thought this deserved a little blog of it's own as it has become quite the topic of conversation over here. The first taught language in Singapore is English which is great for me as my language skills in Japanese, Chinese etc are a little rusty...
